50 Cent Says Boxing Could Benefit From WWE, Live Event, New Year’s Eve Marathon

"Fitty" is right on the money with that statement. Boxing has lost it's main-stream appeal. People are just sick and tired of all of the cheap decisions when fights come down to the score cards. I've seen quite a few fights where the clear winner of the fight wound up losing when the judges gave their scores. Nobody wants to watch a legitimate sport where the outcomes are rigged. It makes it look cheap, low-rent, and like the outcomes are controlled by the betting. UFC uses more of the theatrics of wrestling because they do everything that they can to make the fights seem like some kind of personal issue is going to be resolved because of the fight. Which garners public interest. Especially when a fighter that they are a fan of is involved in the issue. Both sports need to up their production values and do more with the fighter's entrances to make things more entertaining. Something that small goes a long way when it comes to keeping people intersted and entertained IMO. UFC could mic their crowds like WWE does also. Those crowd mics help portray the action a lot better for the TV audiences. Both sports can learn a lot from how WWE produces their TV shows and PPV's.
