Why do MMA fans think that boxing is going to die after Manny Pacquiao and Floyd Mayweather retire?

No. You are blind by arrogance. MMA/UFC will dropoff in the next decade or two.

It's only popular on the level you claim it to be here in the states. All around the world, it's all about boxing. The number of kids in boxing gyms are sky rocketing along with a huge serge of young professional talent coming up.

This MMA vs Boxing thing is a joke. Boxing is not dead. It's improving everyday, you just aren't paying attention.

I hope you're right. MMA is clearly better marketed. The other problem with boxing is that they've priced their product away from its next generation of fans.

There are only so many people out there willing to pay $150 for pay per view and even fewer who will drop $500 for a title fight. Those people do it, but they don't expose their kids to the fights at prices like that. The smaller the market gets, the more they charge to make up for it, and the result is you're now as likely to love live boxing as you are to love Broadway theater.

Both are great, but how many young people can afford to seem them?

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
