Default Why would you be a mixed martial artist when you can be a boxer and....

-Make a tonne of more money. IE Brock Lesnar last fight = $400,000. Floyd Mayweather Jr. = 30 MILLION DOLLARS

- Be a better fighter, have better KNOCK OUT ABILITIES ... which is actually used in a FIGHT





Plus you wouldnt be linked to the stigma that all mma fighters are homosexuals

Money is important, but it is not EVERYTHING. Some people prefer using only hands and footwork, others perfer a mixture.

You should be asking why people do TKD, Judo, BJJ, muay thai, kickboxing or MMA when there is boxing?? People got their perferences and what they are good at.

They are both different sports. (with some similaries)

Depends on what level of boxer you are. I dont think there is too much money flying around the mma scene just yet, apart from the very top guys out there.

Lots boxers make a good living in boxing, but its harder to reach the top.

This could all change in time.

Why would you be a road bicycle racer whereas a soccer player can earn 20 millions a year? That's as ridiculous as the first question.

you ****ing what? you think all the wrestlers and jiu jitsu guys always wanted to be boxers? If lesnar wanted to be a boxer than he would have trained in boxing since he was a kid, but he didn't, he did wrestling, are you really too ****ing dumb to understand that? and no boxers aren't "better fighters" idiot
