Boxing is now so far behind the UFC its sad

all teenage fanboys who think they are grown up because they watch ufc instead of wwe anymore lol. Who cares pal.

 

"it did so in front of a record breaking crowd at the O2 Arena in London"

Yeah whatever, but considering the fact that the O2 Arena only opened about 2 months ago, SO WHAT!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

put this garbage in the mma forum

 

It didnt help that Gracie was about 50 years old.

 

What a load of bollocks England peaked at 5.6 million viewers lmao, the card was on english ppv im pretty certain 5.6 million people dont even subscribe to the channel Setanta Sports.

Ufc is ****ing garbage discussion over.

 

Also there was less than 17000 at the event Cazlaghe v kessler will be over 50000, oh yes boxing is dieing and ufc id taking over lmfao.

 

Audley Harrison vs. Danny Williams got 8 million viewers in the uk which is a massive audience per population of the UK compared to the UFC audience in the massive population of america! And who the hell wanted to see Audley Harrison fight!!!!! But UFC with all its hype gets a whopping 4.7 million whoopee :happy lol

 

I don't know guys, I mean, 5 years ago would anyone have thought it was likely to have a free cable TV UFC show that garnered 4.7 million viewers?

Obviously MMA isn't ecclipsing boxing any time soon, but it certainly is growing and growing fast.

 

It's certainly a very healthy business, but consider that it was a title fight on a basic cable channel. Ask yourself what would have happened if Oscar vs Mayweather were shown on regular TV.

UFC is doing very, very well, and it might actually be healthier than boxing, but it's impossible to compare this kind of event to anything that boxing has done because ESPN2 doesn't exactly show marquee fights. They also don't promote them.

 

I know UFC is beating boxing. boxing fans have no awnser but to *****

 

It was a free fight. Put it on PPV and watch how many people don't buy it.

Oh and the fight made De La Hoya vs Mayweather look like Gatti vs Ward.

 

Boxing fans are TIRED of MMA promoting itself simply by the antagonistic nature of MMA taking over/better than boxing.

Why is it MMA fans continually find there ways to boxing forums to discuss this BULL****?? Let me know when you see my tag in an MMA forum

I dont hate or object to MMA, I hate and object to the bull**** rationale used in the promotion of such:yep Talk about the merits of the sport!! Why not promote MMA over the fake ass WWE which at least has 'ground game"???

MMA's promoters and powers that be, think its success, but the more they do it?? The greater the backlash that will occur between fans of both sports, WHEN FANS OF BOTH SPORTS SHOULD BE ABLE TO ENJOY BOTH, if they so choose.

 

True story.
TS is a dumbass.

 

@ this dumb****.

 

I take it you've never been to Sherdog before.
