Why are the weight classes different in boxing than MMA?

As MMA has grown, it had to deal with a small number of people involved which meant few weight classes. Boxing was like this. I think boxing weight classes didn't really expand until the 1960s.

When the UFC was initially set up, there were no weight classes. As it's grown, weight classes have been added.
