Time limits, protective gloves, banned techniques lists, and many more were added in order for society to accept it and this allowed the UFC to advertise more as a sport instead of a blood-sport. The only problem after the UFC and MMA became legal in many states was attracting attention. In the early days the sport was not profitable due to the ban in almost all U.S states so the original owners sold the company. Dana White, Frank, and Lorenzo Fertitta “…spent $2 million to buy the Ultimate Fighting Championship…” (Anderson). White and the Fertitta brothers were millions in the hole trying to make the company profitable and were ready to sell but, than they came up with the idea of the Ultimate Fighter. The Ultimate Fighter was a reality show where a group of athletes were all put in one house where they would only focus on fighting.

Boxers were offered much lower wages for fighting than they were given in the 1920s, causing many of them to either drop out of the arena or to fight with far less drive and passion. At the beginning of the 1930s, the position of the world Heavyweight title had been unoccupied for 3 years. Despite the drop in wages, boxing continued to be one of the most popular sports in America, next to baseball. The majority of its received attention came from the gambling amongst the observers. Even though many families were unemployed, a great amount of effort was placed on trying to see major fights when they would come up. If the fight was promised to be a good one, younger people would do their best to go see it live. The sport became a great past time and hobby to attend across the nation (Zammit). As scholar Rosca states, “The people chose the immediate joy and the sense of belonging that a boxing fight induced to them, rather than the long-term saving of money” (Rosca,
Both Levinson and Schultz focused on the importance that experience based civic action projects can have on students.

This project may draw out their interest and you may see a side of that student you have never seen before.

It is seen how low Braddock and his family can sink when the Boxing Commission de-commissions him, while understanding, that millions of people are sinking lower. By 1934, Braddock is working the New Jersey docks, or, rather, standing with hundreds of other men outside the gates, hoping for work. There's an awful scene in which the boxer goes to the old Madison Square Garden and confronts the fight men in their smoky den, begging for a handout, the moment aches with shame and necessity. Then his old manager, Joe Gould, appears with a one-time offer, to fight again because a boxer has dropped out of a match with an up-and-coming heavyweight, providing for $250 purse, win or lose. Braddock's response to this opportunity, "For $250, I'd fight your
