    Tbh i feel like i'd be we wasting my time even trying to change your mind as your obviously a loyal boxing fan who dislikes MMA.
    In reply to your original post boxing has a far richer history then mma which as it grows will hopefully start paying fighters a bigger percentage as they realize there worth but you clearly haven't watched enough or know enough, if you really think either sport is less skillfull especially the best fighters in each sport.
    I'm more of a boxing fan but i appreciate watching the highest levels of a few different combat sports but i've watched more then enough of both mma and boxing at the different levels to know that there is plenty of boxing fights that end up looking like bar room brawls as well.
    The majority of people who watch these bigger fights in both sports are casuals and uneducated fans who often seem to mistake the technical fight as boring when it's anything but for the hardcores and those who know what they are watching

    Already has.

    MMA is still not even thirty years old!

    Boxing will always have mega stars, but MMA has covered so much ground now that it's scary.

    Floyd's biggest pay day was with an MMA fighter. Let that sink in for a minute...

    And why do people call MMA g*y? Have you seen Hopkins enter a ring? Looks like a g*mp! Wlad used to hug everyone to death...

    Conor is the biggest star in combat sports. Much bigger than Canelo or AJ.

    No but the majority of them are signed with UFC. And UFC has so many great fighters, one top fighter signed with a rival promotion (example Bellator) makes no difference to them.

    Boxing is better than boring MMA garbage in EVERY way. As this video shows, it's NO CONTEST:

    MMA, particularly UFC is way more popular than boxing today nevermind in the future.

    That’s not even up for debate. Just look at the numbers across social media/YouTube.

    And I’m not a fan.
