Arum on future of UFC and boxing

You've got to be trolling. You've just got to be. Fighters in MMA fight and settle things a lot more and quicker than they do in boxing. That's a stone cold fact.

 

If you havn't noticed in boxing the best arn't always fighting the best. There is alot of fights that should be made that arn't.

 

I'm not trolling and no it isn't. Did Emelianenko fight Lesnar? Or Mir? Or Couture? Or anyone from the UFC roster? To be a fan of any Org is a shame, be it Pride or the UFC.. just want the best to fight the best.

Boxing is messed up but at least there's some hope of the top two coming together.

 

Ah, I love/hate these threads. The amount of stupid is funny/depressing.

 

Some of you sheep can't even see that the UFC = WBC and Strikeforce = WBA etc. The best fighters are not all in the UFC and the different MMA organizations are no different than all the Alphabet orgs in Boxing. You are not always getting the best Heavyweights versus each other in MMA because they are in totally different orgs and daddy Dana won't let his fighters play with the others because the one time he did his fighter (Liddell) got smashed and embarrassed.


DO NOT try and tell me the best fighters are always fighting each other in MMA because as I just showed you that it absolute Bull ****.

 

about his comments now and before,I actually think its the other way around,boxing is only black,mexicans and the ocasional white,asian or south american fighter,mma has all,brazil is already mixed with something like 50% like half black or of part black ancestry,there are whites there also,also asian,counting united states and Japan it only adds up, in europe is also getting space I think.

 

boxing is far bigger then mma in japan
you wildly overestimate brazils black population
mma lags far behind boxing in europe
but i doubt arum believes or cares about what he is saying

 

I am not debating what is bigger,but mma is diverse also,its not only white people,not saying brazil is 50% black, but I think around this are the people mixed with black or what they call pardo dont remember where I read this,believe a lot of people in brazil probably would be considered black in europe and united states,black brazilian culture is also everywhere there.

 

Don't go crazy with Strikeforce, they've got some great heavyweights and good fighters overall, but from LW to LHW the UFC has pretty much all the elite fighters. It probably won't stay like that forever as this sport is still young, but there's no way Strikeforce is anywhere close as of now.

I'm not sure what kind of superfight could be had right now that would require a UFC fighter to move to another org. (except at heavyweight, as mentionned.)

 

But boxing is dominated by white men? Whatever white means in the first place but none the less, the Sport popularity has nothing to do with skin colour and mostly to do with matchups between the best.

Its like the Green Bay Packers refusing to play in season NFL and instead playing teams from other orgs whilst claiming still to be champion. This in essence is what happens in boxing....ala Floyd Mayweather, the Klits, Haye and so on and so on.

 

Thats white all the main champions are ffrom abroad?

Heavyweight - Mexican/American
Light-Heavy - Brazil
Middleweight - Brazil
Welterweight - Canada
Lightweight - American
Feathweight - Brazil

 

No, but those are the most famous, loved by fans and experts. Brock is only loved by fans who know not much about MMA and hype in too an all around fighter, which he is not. When pac & may go away from boxing, who than will be the superstars, I am not talking about boxing stars like pavlik or cotto, I am talking about super stars. Gamboa, if he wins vs Lopez, maybe. Haye if he KO's one of the Klits, maybe. Martinez?? I don't know but Boxing is gonne lose a lot of attraction when both are gone. Same with MMA, when Anderson and Fedor are gone. I mean they still have Shogun, GSP and Velasquez but if that's enough, I don't think so, because if Cain beats Dos Santos there aren't serious challenges availeble, same with GSP, when he beats Shields, he basicly cleaned it all out and his body is too small for moving up

 

Well boxing didnt die after Ali retired.

 

WTF?:huh
Interpreter please.

 

ITs all true.

Its what i have been saying all along. Wait till UFC starts to intergrate more. Cain, Silva, St. Pierre, The guys that beat Machida. All champions from different countries. The UFC is already getting taken over by us the minorities and once it fully is then UFC will start to plummet and white people will go back to hockey.
