It is, and it always had been.
The fight would never happen, no top boxer would bother. If they win the prize is too small, if they loose they may steer fans from boxing to MMA. Loose - Loose for them.
If it where to happen I would imagine Gracie would win, and I would place my money on him. Unless the Boxer trained for it. Stick Tyson with a wrestling coach and a BJJ coach for a year and I'd change my bet. But someone with a name that big can make a lot of money durring that time, why on earth would they take ayear off to train for a low-paying fight?
