    For those answering no, would you really rather not see a boxing match on TV at all than have to fast forward or skip the MMA portion? Let's be real- boxing's not going to get any more play on free TV than what's there now unless something like this is adopted because there's a rush to cash in on the MMA craze. Done in that fashion, and not in the form of more unnecessary PPV's, I don't know why people would be so adamently against it. Keep the pure boxing shows strictly boxing, the pure MMA shows strictly that, but then create a mix to put more fights on the air for both sides.

    I actually like the idea.

    If it were to work at all then the main event would have to be a boxing match.

    before you know it you'd have boxers on mma bouts and mma guys trying boxing....and pro records would be made up of fights from both...
    and boxers in gereral would become less skillful at boxing because of trying to have the ability to adapt to either sport...
    and then old men will fill the forums cursing the day this happened...and longing for the days of boxing as it was..


    like comparing snooker and golf in my eyes :)

    This is my main concern. I love Pay-Per-Views with four undercard fights and would dislike to have to watch MMA fights on those cards. That said, I guess maybe it will give Boxing exposure to a wider audience. I will be voting against it.

    For the most part no, **** MMA. I don't watch that ****. Now, if they had Fedor on a card I wouldn't mind. That guy is worth watching. But there's only so much of him to go around - so, NO.

    Terrible idea.

    Considering the bad blood between the two sets of fans, you'd have more fights in the audience than in the ring.

    Unless you're putting on top cards featuring the top talent in MMA and boxing, chances are you'll wind up alienating both markets.
