It's interesting that for such a caring culture, that Americans love to watch boxing and fighting so much. For some reason we love to watch others beat the hell out of each other. And the tougher the men and the harder they hit, the more we love it. We seem to be masochists for some reason, but where ever there is a human desire there is an entrepreneurial effort to bring it to market.Now we have pay-per-view boxing on TV, and we also have the ultimate fighting, where just about anything goes. Just because one opponent knocks the other down doesn't mean they stop fighting, it just takes the brawl to the floor with a combination of wresting, kicking, and punching. There are head locks, elbows to the head, knees in the chest, and occasional broken bones. In fact, pay-per-view boxing is losing out to ultimate fighting.
Folks still want to bet in Vegas on the fights for the big boxing matches, but the average viewer is just as happy watching an ultimate fighting event and drinking a beer on their couch with their buddies. Perhaps, it is because boxing is too regulated, and there are too many rules, and they stop the fight too much and let the opponents go sit in the corner.
Still, it makes sense that people want to see how bloody and beat up they are, so the TV camera zooms in on them as a sit in the corner and their blood is wiped off their face. Yes, boxing pay-per-view makes a lot of money, but the ultimate fighting pay-per-view seems to be pulling away many of the fans. Please consider all this.
