摘要

尽管拳击作为最受欢迎的主流格斗运动有着悠久的历史，但近几十年来，它面临着来自综合格斗(MMA)日益激烈的竞争。综合格斗市场的主导组织，终极格斗冠军赛(UFC)，已经发展成为一个数十亿美元的组织。在本文中，我们直接比较了拳击和UFC之间的消费者利益和拳击手补偿，以考虑这些格斗运动未来的经济潜力。总的来说，我们的结论表明，拳击作为一个整体仍然是更有利可图的，关键因素是超级明星运动员的存在。

The Emergence of Mixed Martial-Arts and the Future of Boxing: An Analysis of Consumer Interest and Compensation

Despite its long-standing history as the most popular and mainstream combat sport, boxing has been confronted with increased competition from mixed martial arts (MMA) in recent decades. The dominant organization in the MMA market, the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC), has grown to become a multibillion dollar organization. In this article, we directly compare consumer interest and fighter compensation between boxing and the UFC to consider the economic potential for these combat sports into the future. Overall, our conclusions indicate that boxing has continued to be more lucrative as a whole, with the key factor being the presence of superstar athletes.
