This is why MMA is KILLING boxing

MMA is certainly not killing boxing. Lee stoppage was a good call. Katisidis you can question but I dont think it was wrong. So stop bitching

 

I was going to tell you to Cobain your self, but there are actually some pretty decent throw-downs in the NHL.

 

A ref should not stop a fight while the boxer is still throwing punches. Ref stopped the fight tonight too soon. Same with the Lee fight. So many boxers would have lost their championships if they had had those referees.

 

Yes I have actually.

DLH vs Mayweather made more revenue than 2007's UFC fights combined.

Go look the figures up, MMA will never be bigger than boxing.

And stop ****ing whining about stoppages.

 

Foolish guess on the Mayweather vs ODLH fight...


It's actually pretty close... It's really just a matter of pricing. MMA averages $39.99, Boxing goes at $49.99

2007 CROSS INDUSTRY COMPARISONS [Buys (Estimated Gross Revenue)(# of events)]
UFC - 4,885,000 ($194.5 million)(11)
HBO Boxing - 4,795,000 ($239.75 million)( 8 )
WWE - 2,797,000* (13 events included, 2 outstanding)

 

More real world data, not here say or trash talk...

7 of the top 10 are UFC events. There is no "HBO 24/7" type media blitz for UFC and the only real TV exposure is the PPV previews and shows on Spike TV. Not a bad showing for the limited exposure.

Perhaps ref should have stopped the Pryor fight while Pryor was getting the crap beaten out of his, blood everywhere?

MMA cannot kill boxing in a 100 years buddy . . . MMA will run out of fighters before they can even come close.
