this is why MMA is taking over Boxing in popularity.

Because it caters to Homosexuals and WWE fans....:banana::banana: http://www.dailyhaha.com/_pics/wrestling_is_so_gay.jpg

I have a friend about to take his first MMA fight, i'm die hard boxing and I dont like the sport but I will go see him cause I gotta support the homie.

Ugh MMA has great cards in front of sold out crowds every month. When was the last time boxing had that kind of mainstream success? Im not knocking on boxing but as a huge boxing fan I will be the first person to blame it's lack of mainstream success on it's greedy promoters. I train MMA and love the sport, but why is it MMA's biggest stars are making peanuts compared to even boxing second teir stars such as Margarito and Williams? If you want to talk greedy promoters, look no further than Dana White.

The audience for the two sport is never going to be the same. They can both compete over the current cheetoe eating MTV crowd but MMA will never get boxings main audience anymore than it would football or hockey.

I like boxing more than MMA. Way more than it because MMA is too base and carnal.

Its simply because its new, and boxing is old. In 50yrs time boxing will still be around....will MMA?? i m not sure. I m a fan of both (actually got tickets for UFC 95) but i think in 50yrs time, if MMA is still around, the hype will have died and it will be back on par with boxing....or forgotten about.

It's not...... Ugh MMA has great cards in front of sold out crowds every month. When was the last time boxing had that kind of mainstream success? Im not knocking on boxing but as a huge boxing fan I will be the first person to blame it's lack of mainstream success on it's greedy promoters.

It's not......

1. Its a sport where White people are highly successful at 2. It caters to the most primal side of the human mind 3. Society is changing in a sense that they want a product that can satisfy without having to thoroughly understand it. See and I find boxing just as primal as MMA but I also find MMA to be just as skillful as boxing if that makes any sense. I think it's just that right now MMA's owners actually market the sport where in boxing promoters dont care about marketing anything outside of their own fighters.

Speaking of pistol whipped, you had better put on your headgear now!LOL are people really that insecure about MMA?

MMA has overtaken Boxing? News to me besides in my world it hasn't and never will and thats what matters most to me!!!

I like bothsports equally if that suprises anyone but what is it about MMA that is making it so much more popular? Is it the fact that MMA has a real HW Champion? Is it the fact that the MMA is a hundred times more accessible to the working man than Boxing? What is your take on it? Speaking of pistol whipped, you had better put on your headgear now!LOL
