Is UFC style fighting bigger than Boxing now?

[BAMMER]

From a fans perspective?I don't mean money wise,but with all the weight classes and sanctioning body's,and all the belts in Boxing,not to mention some of the scorecard debacles.
There's still classic boxing going on outside of the Heavyweights,but it seems like I hear tons of people discussing UFC type shit now.

What do you like better?

I like them both the same.

I like them both also. You gotta figure money into the equation though. No UFC or Pride PPV's are coming close to a main event Boxing PPV as far as ratings go. MMA is on its way to winning the race. Hopefully they can keep it honest get rid of anyone that works a match and promoters that are good with it. Just like in Boxing they need a commision. As the sport grows it will start getting more shady. Now you have promoters who pick the refs and judges and pay them. Tapping or KOing someone does happen much more in MMA so it will always be hard to fix fights. I just had a buddy go to Hawaii and get screwed over, because he was fighting a bigger name fighter and they didnt want to pay him his winning purse so they ruled it a draw after the announcer said he won. They showed him some BS score card in the back but would not show him the other cards from the other fights to compare them to.

I really haven't been exposed to UFC stuff. I mean I see their PPV ads sometimes but nobody I know is into it either. But I'm sure it is on the rise because boxing for sure is on the decline. Too bad, if they cleaned up their act and got rid of the corruption and scandals, they could honor the historical sport.
