This article says that thanks to B-Hop, boxing is doing better than MMA lately. I'm not sure what my pal Joe is writing, but it's still interesting. [url] This content is protected [/url]
MMA isn't in Boxings league and no matter how many Anderson Silva's come out of the woodwork, that won't change.
Boxing is much better, I think if fighters likes Cotto, Pacquiao and Hatton were trained for MMA they would destroy them, with their punching power, speed and they can also push people around a bit.
Well its no surprise man. I always loved MMA and Boxing but Dana White is a ****in **** who disrespects boxing like its nothing.
The pub my friend owns use to air mma fights. But hasn't since mid 2007. Just not enough heads filling the pub to justify paying the cost for buying the PPV. Bar and pub owners pay alot more for PPVs. However, he did pick up some boxing matches recently. God bless the mexicans and puerto ricans that come out. Especially for the Cotto - Margarito fight. Also, he has less in-Pub problems with mexicans and puerto ricans than he had with the shaved head, affliction shirt wearing, mma guys that would come in.
Someone needs to explain to the media there is a difference between MMA and the UFC. MMA is a sport, UFC is a group within that sport. Just because UFC is very popular does not mean the whole sport is. Are any of the other MMA organisations even turning a profit? 1 closed last week, Pride which used to be really big closed a couple of years ago. I think Cage Rage over here in the UK was supposed to be heavily papering crowds and losing money. UFC only does about a dozen shows a year, a dozen succesful shows a year worldwide does not make it a successful sport.
Good point. It's like with football in the States. The NFL isn't the only organization that have tried to display the sport of football in a publicly televised format. The other competitors have fell to the wayside.
Your point is understandable, but at least within this thread, the comparison is between two sports, boxing and mixed martial arts, not between the sport of boxing and the ufc organization.
Boxing will always have the edge on MMA which is basically 'human cockfighting'. The amateur side of our sport is in the Olympics where you will never see MMA. It's a fad which will prolly go underground in years to come.
