Why boxing beats MMA

No.

 

Weird cause Mayweather was the first one to bring up McGregor and saying his trash talk is appreciated only cuz he's white. That poster obviously doesn't know **** about what's going on around him

 

I hate Conor McGregor's fanboys, they have been getting annoying AF lately

 

Mayweather has been talked about for decades now, McGregor is a blip on the radar. He has time to grow that star power but to compare the two, especially in effect on the sport, is absolutely ridiculous.

 

I would say MMA, in particular the UFC, is closer to WWE than it is to boxing. It is certainly marketed in a more similar way and has the same kind of fan base.

 

Correct regarding fan base.Red necks,morons,skin heads and kids living in their parents basements.

 

That's just pure jealousy and it will exist as long as UFC fighters get paid little to put it all on the line and boxers get paid millions to be a disgrace.

Thompson vs Hendricks in boxing is a million dollar pay day minimum for each.

 

Thing is, if guys like those two were getting paid that much per fight then they wouldn't fight each other.

That's Boxing's downfall. Fighters being overpaid.

Look at Danny Garcia. Earns a fortune to fight either someone shot or someone dangerous, so what does he do?

 

They aren't overpaid. They risk brain damage and train hard their entire life.

And big fights get made in boxing eventually because even if they're paid well already boxers would like even more money.

If MMA was as big as boxing and split into several promotions like it used to be you wouldn't see much big fights either, just like we hardly saw any pride vs ufc fights.

In fact Conor vs Dos Anjos will be the first superfight in UFC history.

If boxers were paid as much as UFC fighters you'd only see bums fighting, you don't find many people who'd risk their health for that money. Would you get brain damaged for 10k+10k $ a fight?

 

1) They are overpaid.

2) "Eventually get made" - Eventually as in 6 years later like Manny/Floyd?

3) MMA has a different business model to Boxing. BTW, we did get to see some Pride/UFC crossovers in the early 00's.

3) Wrong. BJ/GSP was a super fight. Chuck/Wand was a super fight.

4) Let's flip your logic. Would you fight the very best/most dangerous fighter for 1 mill or would you fight someone shot for the same amount?

 

No they aren't and you haven't provided any argument. Football players playing in China get paid much today, are they overpaid too? Yes and no. Relative to other sports boxers are paid as much as they deserve. Unless you want to have some ultra-socialist amateur model in the world of sports (completely unrealistic) where you ruin your body and mental health for a postman's salary and your family has to support you when you're old.

GSP-Silva, Silva-Jones, Aldo-Pettis, Cain-Jones, Weidman-Jones, Fedor-Brock... Those fights were never made at all, just talk.

BJ had to move up and was stripped of his belt, it wasn't a superfight.

Senseless comparison that doesn't have anything to do with anything. Would you rather fight for 1 million or for 10k is the real question and this is the difference between boxing and MMA. If boxers were paid as much as MMA fighters hardly anyone would pursue a professional career and we'd have taxi drivers, bouncers and football hooligans winning world titles.

 

Can you do a backflip in a boxing match? <No

/thread

 

1) They are overpaid.

2) All except one of those fights is a fight between two fighters from the same division.

What was the excuse for Floyd not facing Manny when he was in the same division as him for five years?

3) BJ/Hughes was a superfight.

4) You're wrong. It's exactly why Boxing is in dire straits. Look at Wilder: He's milking the belt against nobodies instead of top opposition.
