It's because we've largely lost who we used to think of as the big heavyweights. There just isn't anybody anymore. Floyd Mayweather and Manny Pacquiao were the last ones people gave a crap about, and those are just little guys... not as impressive to watch as the big giants of yore.

The problem with MMA is those guys burn out so fast. By the time you get a semi-"name," they get banged up and retire.
