Boxing is dead! MMA FTW

UFC is a fad, that **** will come and go (and it's now in the stage of going). It's not going to be timeless like boxing is. It's a trash "sport".

 

I remember Dana White saying in around 2002 that UFC/MMA will be the biggest sport in the world in TEN YEARS ,....it was not even close

 

LOL

If you believe Conor is a huge star in Ireland you are quite deluded, just because a few drunk irish people come to a press conf where there is free booze, it doesnt make you a star

keep believing the hype dana feeds you

 

Extrapolating a figure based on the idea that each buy is watched by, say, five people at once, the UFC's top drawing PPV last year was watched by a little under three million people.

That's not much more exposure than Alvarez gained fighting the likes of Angulo and Lara on PPV (with not particularly impressive undercards to boot).

Boxing may be a niche sport in this neck of the woods (North America) but it's a niche that's gaining more attention in recent years. Enough that rumours of its impending demise are greatly exaggerated.

 

Record setting PPV buys and we still have idiots saying "Boxing is Dead!". Don't worry, Boxing will outlive you as it has many before you who said the same exact thing. Oh and MMA?, enjoy Ronda Rousey headlined events.

 

Yeah, no ****. These UFC fanboys like to bash boxing, but the sweet science was around long before this boring roll-around-on-the-ground **** came along, and it will around long after it is gone and forgotten.:deal

 

Mayweather-Pacquiao did 4.4 million PPV buys.

By comparison, the best selling UFC event, UFC 100, only did 1,600,000 buys.

 

What does Kovalev have to do anything with a PPV fight?
Hopkins - Dawson II had 1.6 million households yet the the first fight, which was on PPV, only sold 50,000 units.

 

After Mayweather v DLH did a record buy Dana White claimed Boxing was dead.

It hurts MMA fans inside that the sport they continue to deride and the fighter they claim (Mayweather) nobody wants to see continues to break records.

Let's look at the facts. Boxing has just set a record ppv number blowing the previous record out of the water. Boxing still gets decent ratings on HBO as well as a fighter like Canelo drawing a large gate to his fight the week after the fight that allegedly killed Boxing. Lastly haymon has his shows on Free to Air TV.

Yep no doubt Boxing is dead. It's over lol.

 

Yup, this flash in the pan is swirling down the toilet as we speak. That's what happens when your product is two guys rolling around on the ground, instead of engaging in ACTION, throwing punches!

Meanwhile, boxing is stronger than ever! That's because the Sweet Science is the greatest sport of all time!!
