Boxing is more sport to me. I'm not really into it and I don't know any of the boxers, but if I'm flipping around and it's on, I'll watch it for sure. I've watched a lot of the classic fights, especially the Ali fights, and I have mad respect for the sport, but honestly my favorite thing about boxing is its effect on MMA. It's a shame there's more money in boxing, I would like to see how the best boxers in the world could fight in the cage if they were taught some take down defense and a bit of grappling.

I completely disagree. The comment about Bloodsport is the same reason that MMA is still illegal in many states. MMA isn't like a street fight. MMA is a sport.
I train and people always ask me what I'd do if so-and-so were to pick a fight with me. And I always tell them I'd hit him in the balls first of all. Street fighting is brutal, MMA is a sport. MMA needs to ditch the street fighting image if it wants to continue to grow.
