Why don't we see the boxing fighting style fights in movies and TV shows?

Because they are dramas. Why would someone in a real fight not use everything they have?

[AI Opinion]

Boxing doesn't always fit the narrative or visual style that action movies aim for. MMA offers a diverse range of fighting techniques and dynamic choreography that can create intense, cinematic action sequences. Boxing is more contained and traditionally focused on the ring, making it less adaptable to various fight scenarios that action films often explore. Directors may choose MMA to maximize visual variety and excitement, appealing to broader audience preferences in action-packed films and TV shows. 🥊🎬
