Another thing that caught my attention... Boxing used to be a love it or hate it sport... now it seems to be a love it or just "eh whatever" sport... Maybe I am confusing boxing becoming irrelevant with just the hating boxing part becoming a thing of the past... does that make sense?

No at all. To me there seems to be more love/hate with boxing then before. I don't think there was the hate back in the day. Now I see the hate from a lot (not all) of MMA fans. Some I think just like how brutal MMA can get. Some act like they can only like one or the other. I like boxing more but I do like other fight sports. One weekend I was at my computer and had a tv beside it. I watched about 6 hours or more of straight MMA. Years ago I would watch a bit of kick boxing or Martial Arts.
