10yrs from now, Will Boxing still be bigger then UFC??

In ten years time there won't be a UFC. With the slow ousting of Wrestling in college and the vast growth of McDojos these days, MMA is going to stick around for a real long while. At least until US martial arts gain any respect in the future outside of "hobby".

in the early days of UFC there was no weights, so you could have and they did have 10 stone guys fighting 7ft 25 stone plus guys, somtimes the smaller men won and there was less rolling around, now that was goood shit

Thats going a little far they will be fighting in Dana Whites backyard. :hail: :hail: :hail:

In ten years time there won't be a UFC. Pretty bold statement is that.

In ten years time there won't be a UFC.

If you watch a ufc event from say 7 or 8 years ago, they were alot more entertaining than the ones you see now. With Boxing you get good cards and bad cards, but theres always those couple of fights a year that are exciting and make you proud to be a boxing fan. MMA will always play second fiddle to boxing because without boxing, there would most probably be no mma.

if boxing promoters can unite and put an end to the ll the crap that gets in the way of boxing been a mainstream sport it can be as big as it once was, and i think its getting there, slowly but surley the prometers are realising more has to be done, but its the next generation of promoters that will hold the life of boxing in there hands so a good example needs to be set very soon.

MMA has come a long way the top guys are making GOOD MONEY, in the millions. Outside of Hatton, Pac, DLH and Floyd, no one is boxing is making that kind of money The official UFC payments mean jack shit. The fighters get a lot more bonus payments even the lower level guys. Both sports will co exist with neither taking over the other

BUMP Bump Bump

So you watch boxing to see whose got the fattest wallet. I wasn't talking about the fighters not the fans, 'who'd want to go into mma seeing how much the top fighters in the top organization make. In 10 years, a lot of these fighters today will be working at a Walmart and get documentaries made about how miserable their life is.' It's true, they make garbage money and what we see is the figure before taxes. Who'd want to go into mma after seeing Tito Ortiz working at Mickie d's? This is definitely the ufc's peak, other organizations will grow, more regulation, etc. It's gonna get a lot worse for them, only time will tell what it means for mma.

I don't see why they need to compete... both can do there own thing at the same time without each other.

boxing of course :boxing:

Boxing will still be on top. Why? Because who'd want to go into mma seeing how much the top fighters in the top organization make. In 10 years, a lot of these fighters today will be working at a Walmart and get documentaries made about how miserable their life is. That's not a good look. So you watch boxing to see whose got the fattest wallet.

MMA is good for boxing! and vice versa. They will push each other into putting on better events.

Boxing>everything else 4 life. :boxing:

motha****as need to fight more than twice a year And I think when you're the only game in town you tend to start to settle and become complacent with what's been "working". I think boxing, like the old sport that it is, was starting to settle for lowered bar of standards considering they didn't have any threats, "hey, why worry?" If anything MMA is a threat and hopefully it can re-light the fire under boxing's butt, because no way is boxing with all of it's glory and history gonna let MMA steal the show. If a "dying" boxing can compete with MMA imagine what a focused and determined boxing can do.

Boxing will never die. It has been around since B.C. times and will live on forever.

If MMA keeps up its rate of growth it might be bigger, but boxing has been around for alot longer. MMA hasnt even begun to be as popular as it will be.

motha****as need to fight more than twice a year

All Boxing needs to do is fat up the undercard fights for us... That and give us the fights we need scrap the long talking and fight!
