    I don't know about UK or US but here in Canada, whenever i go to the bar, the UFC is on. Now i do enjoy the UFC a lot but boxing is my first love. Given that UFC fights are either 15 minutes (3 rounds) or 25 minutes (5 rounds), UFC appears to be a lot more friendly for a bar audience as the fights don't take as long.

    Is there any way for boxing to be as easy to watch? The average boxing match is 36 minutes and while its good that the Saudi's are putting these top fights together, i do wonder if boxing can be popular in bars again. There is also the issue of time zone differences which doesn't help.
