They are both immensely popular and profitable sports just as they are, so whats the incentive for the powers that be to change them?
So were baseball, boxing, and horse racing, yet they all suffered declines. Sports that don't adapt to viewer tastes eventually lose popularity for it (tautologically, perhaps). One can argue, however, that their ability to adapt - without becoming a different sport - is limited.
