Who gives a ****? I watch the sport because I find it exciting and competitive. How much an athlete gets paid is irrelevant to whether I like watching a sport. Oh and I care about how a boxer would do against a MMA fighter about as much as I care about how Michael Jordon would do against Tiger Woods in a game of tiddlywinks.
Ok correction the thread was suppose to be "Why does MMA claim to be "bigger" than boxing" Again none of you pussies that shelled out insults can give me a reason. Yey Jakey,snakey 112,willhem,Dantes and that little ***** Kid Dynamite I know they are two completley different sports, Thats not what the ****ing question was.Typical panty wearing MMA ***s can not comprehend My question?
Why are some boxing fans so threatened by mma, if boxing is in such a great state of well being? Why are fighter's like Ricky Hatton, Roy Jones Jr., and Oscar de la Hoya commenting on how much better mma undercards are when compared to the typical boxing card? Why is Bob Arum stating that boxing undercards are going to have to start getting better, and suggesting boxing promoters begin taking notice of how things are being done in mma? MMA, like boxing, is a sport. I don't know how either have the quality to think, as though they were a human beings. To be honest, I don't know how well mma is doing. The UFC seems to be doing great, but most people don't even know that the UFC is simply an organization in which its participant's are engaging in mma. Strikeforce just had a prime time card air on CBS, and it has nothing to do with the UFC. That may be a good sign for mma as a whole. When's the last time boxing had a fight card air on prime time public television? Boxing must be above that. That is something only smaller sports leagues, like the NFL, would do.
U dont know ****. I boxed most of my adult life and then went to mma and it was way tougher. You may understand boxing but you know nothing of conbat sports. Youtube boxer Vs **** and watch the boxer get his clock cleaned my mauy thai guys, MMA guys etc. Ur lack of knowledege is quite funny. MMA fighters spar with boxing championd like ODH, or that canadian Belt holder thatn GSP trains with. The thing is, you can't box like that in MMA or you canund up in a clinch or take down. You just know nothing about MMA. I train at a boxing gym and MMA gym and I think I have the experience to make the comparison. ****ing kimbo, a srteet fighter, clean ray mercers clock but couldn't get through the TUF show.
The PPV numbers. That's why. Watch the show on CNBC or whatever. But compare the PV numbers and think about what a young sport it is and you'll see. That and go out in public, how many people do you see with MMA shirt on as opposed to boxing. Aside from me, I don't know another boxing fan anymore. I love boxing, it's just it takes to long to make the fights happen. IN the UFC, they make em happen and they have many great fights on a good card, many times.
