The comment about the affliction tees is unquestionably true. But even if that wasn't the case, boxing would still be a way better product for live viewing. There is nothing exciting about watching a guy try for five minutes to move from side mount to full mount.
there are two explanations for you feeling this way:
1) you've watched a couple boring fights and made a bad extrapolation about the sport in general
2) you just haven't watched enough MMA to understand what is going on and appreciate what the fighters are doing when they grapple

Ah, the typical reply from the MMA hipster. "you just dont' understand MMA". Love it.
I've watched enough MMA to understand what is going when they're grappling. And this changes not the fact that (1) when viewed live it is difficult to follow what is going on from anywhere other than basically ringside seats, and (2) there is nothing exciting about watching a guy try for five minutes to go from side mount to full mount. Nothing at all.

And just so that we're clear, I've watched tons of MMA. I had a roommate who loved the stuff, and so I ended up watching it all the time. I don't think MMA sucks at all -- I would pay good money to see Silva and GSP fight. I just don't think MMA makes for a very good live viewing experience. And I generally think boxing is a better sport.*
*I used to box, and so this will likely never change.
