If the answer was so obvious, then why post the question at all.

MMA standup isn't as similar to Boxing as you think it is. There is such a thing as a multisport athelete and they do exist in MMA/Boxing, but somebody who is in the top 10th of one percent of one sport might only be in the top one percent of the other. The top heavy weight fighter makes a fortune, but how much does the 50th best heavyweight make. If the best MMA fighter transferred over to boxing and was the 50th best boxer, it would be a great accomplishment, but wouldn't earn him a fortune.
Furthermore, these guys like being top dogs. Chuck Liddel doesn't want to get his ass kicked by Antonio Tarver in a boxing ring anymore than Tarver wants to get his ass kicked in the Octagon.
