Bull****. MMA has a death ratio of 24.645 per 1000,000 bouts. Boxing has 8.9657 per 1000,000 depending on amatuer or pro, or title or no title, or youth or senior, or masters or.....fk off you sp***ic.. Statistics matter.....
Looks like I hit a nerve with the girly boy that hasn't the character to admit he's spewing hate-filled garbage to compensate for his insecurities. You wouldn't last a week in MMA, coward.
Boxing fans often tend to be extremely insecure towards MMA because, lets face it, boxing doesnt compare very favourably to it. Deep down they know this, and they also know that most impartial observers tuning in will think so too. So naturally they hate a world where it has mainstream acceptance and exposure because it means boxing, as a less exciting and much worse run product, inevitably loses ground to it. Thats what their grievance with it essentially amounts to, that its existence means boxing can never again occupy the same position in the sporting landscape that it once did.
"How many boxing matches are there in the world per year? How many UFC type fights are there? Obviously there are hundreds, if not thousands of times more of amatuer and pro boxing fights in the world than UFC per year. Just 1 UFC death would equate to hundreds if not thousands of UFC deaths if there were just as many UFC fights as boxing" Dumb AF comment right there. There are multiple organisations and leagues around the world which also include armature MMA fights. Yet you think UFC is the only one you thinks exists. Go back under your rock dude, cool story you hate UFC, other than that your post lacks anything resembling intelligence.
Exactly. So ignorant. Theres typically 50-100 events a week happening and deaths/serious injuries are practically unheard of.
That UFC card just now highlights what I said a few posts back. Boxing is fighting a losing battle trying to compete with something that entertaining and slickly produced and boxing fans know this which is why some are so salty and disrespectful. The post fight press conference is currently at nearly 130k live viewers on Youtube and still going up. Let me know when you see boxing doing those numbers. The Fury/Del Boy 3 pre fight presser peaked at like 10k iirc lol.
It's funny you bring up IQ. Because it's puzzling to me you can't intuitively grasp that a sport where 1) You get 10 seconds to get up when you've been hurt so bad that you've been floored, thus allowing for continous brain trauma as the fight continues Vs When you get floored hard in mma it's often called off within seconds as the attacker follows up. The concussed fighter often takes a handful of extra shots in mma. Whereas in boxing the concussed fighter can get a 10 count and then go on to continue getting pummeled for x amount of rounds. 2) In mma you literally can spend huge chunks of rounds grappling, vs boxing that is nothing but punching each other. 3) Championship MMA fights are shorter than championship boxing. 4) Boxers are often (obviously not always) getting hit by the harder punches. Your average top level boxers, on average, will punch harder than your average top level mma fighter. All in all, you honestly believe the average top level mma fighters are getting hit in the head more, and receiving more brain trauma in fights that get stopped quicker, have grappling mixed into it, and last shorter amount of time. As far as your theory that boxing has 'thousands' more fights a year than mma, sounds like crap to me... let me guess, you have no source for that.
Maybe but Izzy v pereira was a much bigger fight than Chisora v Fury will be, check how many views a presser with AJ v Fury would get.
The people in this thread are old farts that are copies of people saying boxing isn't a real sport 100 years ago.
The irony is Boxing from over 100 years ago was actually more like MMA. Before Queensbury Rules became the norm, grappling and yes even kicking was allowed in fights and even the early 20th century gloves were more ike the MMA 4oz gloves. Boxing has a "mma-ish" legacy and maybe that makes some "purists" uncomfortable to acknowledge. Eitherway people can enjoy both and many mma fans I find do, along with the more enlightened boxing fans.
One thing I’m sure is that UFC is so much overhyped I know many of those never agreed with me but one thing I’m fully sure of is that UFC is really hypocritical.
I love both sports so much, I don't understand why people need to trash the other, its the two best sports in the world.
