Pacquiao is barely enough to compete with the UFC, Mayweather is the only one in boxing today that can match and put up bigger numbers. UFC and MMA is here to stay, and it's only gettin bigger. Once Mayweather is gone boxing will be in a long drought, I'm not saying it's gonna die cuz I watch boxing and i'm still a fan and theres alot of talent out there but it's gonna take time to build up multiple superstars, and by then theres no telling how much the UFC will have grown and if boxing can still go head to head with them.

how does Pacquiao barely compete with UFC? lol Who is the largest star in UFC? Pacquiao will earn more fighting Mayweather then that fighter will earn in a lifetime of UFC events....shit, maybe even more from his fight with Cotto. From what Ive seen...he would make more off the Mayweather fight then then every fighter on a UFC events card combined lol If UFC is drawing what boxing draws...how come its fighters earn what boxers earned 20 yrs ago?

So where does all that money go then? The more money you make...the more money your athletes make.

I dont know what denial world your living in daygo but UFC passed boxing a long time ago.I cant think of anyone that watches boxing these days to be honest.Of course it will always be around buts its been dying for years and will continue to do so.Internet,tv,newspapers etc you see UFC evrywhere,its not some fad that grew overnight.Its been around for well over a decade and keeps getting bigger and bigger.It already has crossed over,I go to UFC parties every time a pay per view is held.Bars and pubs are packed every single night UFC is on.From pride in Japan to UFC now,this is a worldwide sport and its here to stay.Its captivated the youth of the world.If you still think boxing is bigger then UFC right now,or the last five years for that matter,your in major denial.From lesnar to GSP to anderson silva,tito ortiz,chuck liddel,the sport is loaded with household names.Boxing has nobody left,everyone is training MMA,their wont be any reloads their all switching to MMA.

I guess if we are all hear 10 years from now we could continue this then. That would be sad tho. I just dont see how there is ONE MMA fighter who would be considered a household name? IMO...a household name is when almost ANYone would recognize that name. Not just fans of the sport. I cant think of ONE MMA fighter that my mom or any of her baby boomer friends has ever heard of lol. If I rattled off 50 boxers...she would have heard of them somewhere. Thats what a household name would be.
