MMA fighters don't have chins? Now I wanna see a top level boxing match being fought with MMA glowes. Just once
Minorities? 92% of the world population. You uneducated knuckle dragger. :rofl This is why I like seeing the likes of Wlad dominate on "ethnic turf" and then watch everyone invent baloney about how the "talent level must be low" .
I wager more boxers sport a skinhead/cropped hairstyle . What a feeble rant from the shyster. This content is protected
Damn i have always made this argument. Arum got it completely right except for the skinhead part. I do think the majority of the audience is white and in that crowd there is alot of racist ****s. And it is true that the white audience turned from boxing to ufc because there was really no good white fighters. Now in ufc the majority of the fighters are white, so the audience is there backing them up. And yes i know there are also many black, latino, etc fighters, but most of them either recently joined the ufc or have began to emerge. Before enyone starts pointing out that the heavyweight division is dominated by white fighters, i want to make clear that when pretty much anyone who lives in the US refers to white guys, they are referring to american white guys, not british, russian, etc. There is a big difference between white americans and white people from other countries. I have said it before its not that non american white guys are born better fighters or anything like that, but their upbringing and culture have a tremendous impact on how good of fighters they become. Generally here in the US fighting is very frowned upon in the white community. Pavlik is the only white american fighter who has shown talent in recent years.
The phrase "american" should be used then shouldnt it? All the higher weights are dominated by European boxers last time I checked. Not just heavyweight. Kessler ,adamek ,froch ,wlad and all those guys. MMA also has a wide variety of champions from various backgrounds.
bob arum is despicable.....a harvard educated lawyer with no common sense at least the reporter stood up for MMA
Why would that be a problem when the HW division is ruled by the Klitschkos, Povetkins, Chagaevs and Valuevs. The CW is ruled by Adamek. SMW by Froch, Bute, Abraham, Kessler. MW Pavlik, Sturm.
I don't know if they're are exactly all skin-heads or not..LOL..but I agree overall. I contend they are mostly sister-****ing, racist, trailer trash with no class. Arum, why did you say they would follow Pavlik though? Way to make him look bad! LOL
white american. Actually...No. Pavlik is just another white american hope. (Hopkins proved it). However , you and i both know that whites are also dominating in boxing. As a matter of fact , ever since eastern europe has been allowed to fight against the pros...the demographics have drastically changed. Only whites themselves don't give a **** , because 99% of them aren't white "americans". They're boring and have no personality. And that's what boxing is lacking today. Fighters with personality. Scandalous types (muhammad ali , Tyson)..Mayweather tries his best to sell his fights by talking **** only problem he's not exciting at all. He's so desperate for money and attention that he went as far as to participate in WWE. But it's not like he's the only one...(tyson did it , same goes with Ali in japan against Inoki) That's even more pathetic then...At least Arum is a fight promoter so he's got his reasons... so an average of 90% of them have tats ? Can you empirically prove that ? or the rest of arum's absurd claims ? I do think that you are racist as ****. (if you think my judgement is unfair , or if you think i'm full of **** , because i don't know you on a personal level...Then apply that reasoning to the people you are accusing & maybe you'll understand that you are either 1 - just as prejudiced as the people you're labeling 2 - and a hypocrite.
Stupid logical fallacy on your part. Also , you should've said "if these guys could box". Because fighting is just more than boxing. These guys use greco-wrestling , judo , jiujitsu...they also use their knees , elbows , kicks & punches. Why would they want to participate in a sport they've never been trained for to begin with ? 90% of these guys never persisted in boxing nor even have an amateur boxing record. The majority of them originally started in grappling. (greco , judo , sambo , jiujitsu) , MMA becomes a logical continuation of these disciplines. Your assumption is flawed. Your conclusion is flawed. You'd have a valid point if all of them only had a boxing background. But they don't.
white guys just don't have speed. and that's in all major sports. generalization. you need that in boxing. you need a lucky haymaker in MMA. If boxing capitalizaed on the fashion part of MMA, they'd have more success. Only Everlast puts out cool clothes. Hatton's got his own shirt company which I think is a fantastic idea. Pac signed with Nike but there ain't no Pacquiao T shirts at any nike store. F'n ridiculous. the stupid tapout shirts are basically a self promo when it comes to selling the sport of MMA.
