I don't think the UFC could just decide to put on a boxing event, it isn't that easy. And why would they want to? Boxing is a dead sport, just as horseracing seems to be.

They are both in the gambling business. Simple really. If a casino applied for dates i'm sure they could hold horseraces.
Boxing isnt anymore dead than horseracing. And the UFC could just decide to hold boxing matches if they wanted to. Just have to get a license through the state commission. We could hold matches if we wanted to. And MMA seems to be a fad btw.
