UFC Catching up. Conor McGregor Earned $15million

MMA fighters train like re****s in camp. Ever seen TUFers or ex UFC champs Rhonda Rousey and Cain Valasquez train?

-Go all out in sparring to injure yourself before a fight. Check
-Doing 200kg leg extensions for max reps. Check
-Amateur weight cutting that completely drains you before a fight. Check
-Poor diet. Check
-Cross fit. Check

 

Elite boxers can go 36 mins without flagging. McG was gassed after 10 mins. The talk of Floyd has to be a joke. Maybe his sidekick Bieber could fill in.

 

You are such a moron. If I'm not a boxing fan, why would I be on a boxing forum taking about MMA? I can just create an account on sherdog.

You talk the same garbage I constantly hear from uneducated, and incredibly insecure boxing fans. Get over yourself.

 

The ignorance of the boxing fans here hurts my head. Some of you make me cringe with your ignorance, stick to **** talking about boxing(not that you know about that either).

 

:hey:deal

I don't know why people compare the two. It's not the same sport. There are many sports that are similar but the strategy and skills for each are different.

tennis and badminton
rugby and american football
cricket and baseball
Boxing and MMA

 

And you're a cretin here to convince people to suck some UFC ****. Get the **** out of here.

 

Who, other than Manny and Floyd, are earning that much per fight?

 

"Only" 5 rounds? :good

Man, 5 rounds of using various energy systems, and the fight taking place high and low, all whilst using and defending all limbs can be VERY exhausting.

 

You could say the same about Boxing.

Floyd's last fight tanked badly.

And who is the new PPV star? Crawford, who is supposed to the next big thing, did 75k PPV's! That's shockingly low.

Face it: For the time being, until a 40 year old man who has been a pro for TWENTY YEARS comes back, there's no breakout star in Boxing.

 

Come on now!

Some of the greats of this sport took it up when they were "old".

Hopkins took it up in JAIL for god sake!
Martinez was a wannabe cyclist yet became a UNIFIED champ.
Lucas Browne, who was a no-mark in MMA was not long ago, the HW champ.
Anthony Joshua only started boxing 8 years ago, now he's a HW champ as well.

Stop acting like EVERY Boxer EVER has only had success because they started when they was 6 years old, as we both know it's not true.

 

He was throwing a TON of leg kicks.

They use energy up like a mofo!

 

Boxers only have to train ONE thing: Punching.

Add to that, that most of them STILL do long runs and no S&C, so how can they get injured, dummy? :roll:

Mayweather still doing sit-ups? Check.
Manny getting hit in the ribs with a STICK before his big fights? Check.

 

Again, different movements and energy systems are being used.

Do you think someone like Floyd would last in an MMA match against someone elite in his weight class without gassing?
