I think it sounds like its worth a try. Why not? The one concern I have is the duration of a Boxing match can overshadow that of an MMA match. I think people who like MMA enjoy the fast paced, knockout action of the MMA more than the drawn out matches that Boxing is known for.

I would watch both, though.

They've decided to put this off for a while:

Better to hold it off, and get it right the first time, than throw together something that will backfire on them. Hopefully in time, they get it worked out.
