I doubt that. The markets don't really overlap. Boxing cards nearly all predate the creation of MMA, so there is no ready substitute of one for the other. Muhammad Ali, Joe Louis, Rocky Marciano, Jack Dempsey, etc., remain huge sellers, for example, and I don't see that changing due to MMA. If you get one bad-ass American heavyweight, watch how fast boxing shoots back into prominence.
