Most people who do wrestling or any singular mixed martial art I would classify as potential "mma talent" btw.
That's a real shaky definition. You could theoretically lump all boxers into "potential MMA talent."
I think you underestimate how ubiquitous boxing is worldwide. MMA is big in areas with some sort of wrestling/judo/kickboxing culture - the US, Japan/Korea, Brazil. That's really the only areas of the world that MMA could be classified as a big deal. Boxing has a long, long history in many more diverse areas around the globe.

The promotional model makes it easier to pit contracted fighters against each other, but don't act like MMA's free of this **** either.
