Better than EliteXC which a lot of MMA haters seem to have thought that was a huge thing that it died.
It was 2nd rate. My friend was fighting for that organization. Ill be in vegas tommorow training with him at XC for a week or two. I hope to bring home a lot of pictures..
Really? Japan does not even care for them as well. They are always at the bottom of the ratings. They can't even fill stadiums in each show.
If the UFC had better production and better rules like pride, and if it was on t.v. more, it would dominate all other sports except for football imo.
All I Know Is Boxing Is Stll Promoting These Old Dudes That Were Killing People 10 Yrs Ago. To Me Boxing Is Boring Now, And Mma Is Were It Is At. Out Wit The Old, In Wit The New. Mma Takeover Baby!!!
"MMA" was one THE sport in ancient Greece for a reason. People would be watching that sport as if the champion of that would be the champion of the whole Olympic games. It's here to stay, and you better believe it. It's only 17 +/- years old. The new generation of kids will be equally if not more interested in MMA compared to boxing.
As I've stated many times on this board, my allegiance lies with boxing although I do watch and enjoy MMA. Stupid ****in' post. It's been around for way longer than that. Won't die off just cuz at home closing your eyes, clutching your fists, hoping it'll implode. GTFO here. Where the hell is the pub that your boy owns that's able to combine tanked up chicanos and boricuas with their favorite boxers squaring off that doesn't end in a booze-fueled altercation? Chicanos tank up and fight each other on their own minus all the added incentives. I'd love to see this peace-loving bar if it truly exists. Count up how many successful boxing PPVs there are a year and do a comparison by numbers. You'll find out that not only is MMA successful, it is truly competitive with boxing. Think about what you say before you say it. The NFL is insanely popular. The XFL tanked. It doesn't mean, in turn, that football is not popular here. ECW & WCW got swallowed up by the WWE. That doesn't mean that people don't like wrestling as the WWE continues to do quite well. A dozen successful shows worldwide does make a successful sport if that is what its expectations are. You cannot overlook the popularity of the Ultimate Fighter whose breajout success paved the way for the boxing show the Contender . . . which hasn't had nearly the same amount of success. At this particular juncture MMA makes its way onto broadcast television. The same cannot be said for my beloved boxing.
