I don't know...I think MMA has exploded in popularity simply because boxing isn't manly enough.
There was a void to be filled, so there we have it.
There simply isn't enough flexibility, risk-taking, and pure feats of abilities and toughness in boxing compared to MMA.
Boxing has a limited arsenal. You can resort to a small set of techniques to hide deficiencies in other areas of manliness.
