I just saw his interview on ESPN. The one where he is being an asshole. What an ass. Everyone was bringing up legitimate points and all he had to say was "boxing is being swallowed up". I know someone that swallows and his name is Joe Rogan. He was being a real jerk and I don't think that's the image that UFC wants. I could be wrong though. All I know is that I hate Joe Rogan and I want to know who's with me?
First of all whoever said they can coexsist is wrong because when you have guys like Joe Rogan out there being a jackass and bad-mouthing boxing it gets very difficult for the two sides to like each other. Secondly about the "human cock-fighting" comment that was not Lou Dibella's. He stole that from John McCain (the presidential candidate). I thought it is a very good portrayal of the sport. Finally to all you UFC fans out there bust on our fights like Taylor-Spinks and Mayweather-De La Hoya all you want but also take a look at your big fights where the great Chuck Lidell gets KTFO in Round 1. Oh yeah and don't say love him or hate him because the idea behind the thread is that I hate him.
Nice...
So basically you made a topic saying how you hate Rogan and if we disagree we're out of subject?
As far as I remember, I enjoyed PFB vS DLH. I also liked Liddell Vs Jackson. I respect your choice not to like MMA but spreading the hate whitout knowing anything about it is just low.
I LOL'ed...

You have right to your wrong opinion!
You're a dick!

Love him or hate him, Joe is living large, he is part of a great sport, getting the benefits (babes and money) without the risk of being a fighter
I would love to be in his shoes
Not when MMA supporters consistantly attempt to bash boxing and insist it is being swallowed up when revenues and fighter purses tell a different story.
I have not seen MMA supporter making a topic and start bashing boxing so far. On the other side, all the bashing came from boxing fan.
As a fan of both and realizing that boxing fan are usually older, it sad to see what's happening.
...Yeah, so what?? He out wrestles some dork. woo hoo. I wouldn't mess with that guy.
I just thought it was funny!
Rogan, love him or hate him does a good job commentating the UFC. God, rememebr the old days when Jeff Blatnick or Bill 'Superfoot" Wallace, Don "The Dragon" Wilson or the dreaded Kathy Long used to comment the UFC. Screw that! Give me Joe Rogan any day over the others.
Then Boxing is already a comedy show.
C'mon guys!!
Stop this MMA bashing. Both can co-exist.

Really... so that's what you call boxing, huh? Funny, because I just watched "When We Were Kings" last night and you cannot compare the lack of will Mayweather and De La Hoya put on display to, oh, say, the Ali and Foreman fight that I watched. After all, Mayweather and De La Hoya are supposed to be two of boxing's all time greats, right? Wasn't this fight supposed to rejuvenate boxing and bring it back to the forefront of sports. Heh, it couldn't have been much more of a failure to do so!
Now Pavlik and Miranda... that was boxing, and one hell of an entertaining fight. If you tell me that you find a match with two guys circling and slapping hands for 12 rounds as exciting as the Pavlik-Miranda fight... well, I gotta raise an eyebrow.
Seriously, calling that a legit, entertaining match worthy of ticket and PPV prices is part of the reason this sport is in such dire straits and you should be ashamed of yourself for being duped so easily.
Anyway, this thread isn't about the Mayweather-De La Hoya fight that most would agree wasn't even close to living up to the hype, sorry to go off-topic.
Pavlik Miranda was two brawlers slugging it out using little defense.
Boxing is what Floyd Mayweather does and Pernell Whitaker did.
its simple, you like to see blood, people who enjoyed dlh vs pbf are purists, you are not.
There r just not enough purists left to carry the sport on their own. However you look at it, boxing needs casual fans to survive. I wish instead of the dlh/floyd fight, casual fans would have seen miranda/pavlik fight. Would have been much better for the sport.
LOL, say what you want, but if you got into a scrap with the guy, he'd eat your lunch and fuck your girl, the guy is a tough SOB! He is a very good MMA practitioner. Doubt it, then try the guy, i'm sure he'd enjoy kicking your ass any day if you are serious.
Maybe what he said was out of line, but AGAIn, hearing a fat old shit like Dibella describe MMA as human cockfighting would piss me off as well, and I like boxing much more than UFC! Dibella is trying to stem the flow of cash that UFC is raking in and taking away from boxing, plain and simple. But he is so simple minded and ignorant, anyone that is involved with MMA would jumpon him for his ignorant and incorrect statements!
Look at Arum, is he not getting into MMA events, he is the smart one, why not dabble in both boxing and MMA, make money when it's there right???

It's just that different styles of boxers don't always make for action filled fights.
I've seen plenty of Ali fights that were dull as shit.
its called boxing you dumb shit.

For all you Joe Rogan bashers!

Thats funny as hell but it doesnt have anything to do with the fact that Rogan acts like a punk teenager when he talks about boxing.

If watching two guys play pattycakes with each other for 12 rounds is what "purists" enjoy, I admit, I am not a "purist".
