Lets not talk excitement of sport and bring in mma into the conversation, the difference is laughable. Sure, it's gotten more popular than boxing the past 5 years or so but people are finding out fast how boring that sport can actually be... nobody wants to watch 3 rounds of grappling... they want to see knockouts! As soon as boxing gets some new blood in there worth watching its going to come back and come back strong...
thats why mma is still the fastest growing sport in the world...

there are still plenty of ko's in mma and maybe 1 in 10 fights is a boring ground game, which btw is only boring if you do not practice the sport..

sometimes the ground chess game is pretty good if you know what you are watching...

boxing is never going to make a comeback.. unless they bring back bare knuckle 100 round fights..

people want to see blood and the fighters are way too protected now..

which is why mma has taken off...
