"Boxing is dead"

all i know is that I love boxing and will conitnue to like the sport until the day i die. I don't care if it's popular or not. To me it is and I see a bunch of boxing fans on this forum.

If you think MMA is more popular of a sport worldwide than boxing, you my friend are retarded.

What countries is MMA popular in?

MMA is not popular worldwide at all Martial Arts are popular but not Mixed Martial Arts. Do you think MMA has anyone with such great athletic abilities as a Mayweather, Roy Jones, or Sugar Ray Leonard. They have Tank Abbott lol. gosh bro you're an idiot and you just continue to show it in your posts. I'll let you keep showing us all how retarded you are.

Boxing will be dead if this stupid fight doesnt happen LOL

You do not know how many ppv's UFC is getting a month. The numbers the UFC release are completely false if it is so big why are the fighters paid close to dog shit. Umm because they're locked into contracts with ufc/dana white. You obviously know nothing about this issue. MMA is not even legal in New York that just shows how far behind boxing they are how many major prize fights have happened in boxing at Madison Square Garden/Yankee Stadium. ummmmmm ok?????? lol Boxing is an international sport, MMA is only popular in America and they did a show a few shows to show it is global and they completely bombed. seriously bro not only are you getting annoying but showing your ignorance. You do know MMA is VERY popular world wide. Based on your stupidity, I'm assuming you think UFC is the same things as MMA. Also you do know that MMA fights in japan are held in sold out 60,000 stadiums??? My cousin is a ppv distributor and told me UFC 100 did about 925,000 buys and they only average about 250,000 ppv buys a month. my brother's,, girlfriend's cousin's, uncle's, nephew said you're a liar. MMA has no talent in there sport because there is no money in that garbage. Really bro? read that sentence again and if you don't realize the stupidity in it then you need help. You've been living in a rock if you don't think mma doesn't generate money. MMA is where it is due to great promotions and sponsors. After Pacquiao vs. Mayweather more fights will materialize you are looking at this so short term. There are so many amazing upcoming boxers Omar Henry, Saul Alvarez, Frankie Gomez, Jose Benavidez Jr., Jessie Vargas, Devon Alexander, Amir Khan and so many more. no bro shut up. I've been apart of boxing for a long time and based on your posts probably alot longer than you. No one knows or gives a shit about a gomez, alexander, or khan. It's a fact bro. None of those guys are going to do anything that brings boxing back to the spotlight. Quit acting like a little bittch throwing a fit cause things don't go your way. The truth is the truth and your biased fits don't change anything. UFC just had Mir vs Carwin boxing has Tua vs Barret on ppv coming up. Go figure.

I'm going to keep this quote and when Pacquiao-Mayweather does 3 million+ buys, I'm going to throw it in your face. The UFC does have more frequent PPV events, but they're not consistent quality-wise at all. UFC 116 was sick, I really enjoyed it. But 114 sucked dick. I can count on at least one good fight a month and a great fight every two or three months. And the best boxing is better than the best MMA. I'm not saying boxing is in its golden age, far from it. But it has a lot of life left in it. And a lot of that life is in Pacquiao-Mayweather. If that fight is as great as it could be, expect a BIG upswing in boxing. If it falls flat, or even worse, falls through, it could be a sign that we're coming up on the end. I hope not, but it could disenfranchise the casual fan to a degree that they don't want to buy anymore. Boxing is WAAAAY bigger than any set of fighters. It's f*cking ancient, OK? They have carvings of boxing in Egyptian tombs from 1500 BC. The first boxing academy was opened in London in 1719. There's plenty more if you bother to do a web search. You guys are a bunch of drama queens. Boxing will be around. Take a breath, have a shot of good bourbon and calm down. That is all. Carry on.

Then what???? Who's left? what fight can the casuals not wait for? Boxing is dead bro get used to it! If there was anyone in the wings ready to carry boxing they'd already been known and have sparked some interest. Fact is the only young fighter casuals know is chavez jr. due to his father and most opinions are that he's just seniors son making money off his father's name. Fact is boxing is no where near where it was and no where near the popularity that mma has right now.

bro you need to wake up. MMA is having big ppv fights every month and they are all doing well in regards to ppv buys. Shit boxing doesn't even have much ppv fights anymore and when they do they're piece of shit ones like hopkins vs jones and diaz vs marquez II. Boxing is dying bro and there's no one in the ranks that's capable of bringing it back.

Good stuff I hear you BigSterotype

:rofl: :rofl: And I'm sick of people saying boxing is dead, especially people who don't even watch boxing or even MMA. They parrot shit they hear from goombas on ESPN, even though a big fight will consistently outsell/outdraw a UFC card. I don't know the numbers for Lesnar-Carwin, but Dana White seemed really hopeful that they would crack a million. In the biggest fight in UFC history. Usually, I'm not one for PPV buys - when it comes to fighters. But for the sport overall, I think it's clear where the American public's loyalties still lie. Sure, we'll lose the bros with their lifted trucks and tribal tattoos, but whatever. Boxing's far from dead. bro you need to wake up.

Fuk off alt!!!!!!!!

why would they stop? boxing is dead! besides floyd and manny who doe casuals really know or want to see fight? Just because you're into boxing doesn't mean the general public is. I think about potential fights besides pac and may that could grab the attention of the world and there isnt any fights out there. The biggest fight that can be made besides pac vs may is klit vs haye and that shit would do horrible ppv numbers here in the states as no one knows them or cares to know them. Reality is boxing is dying and there is no superstars in the making to bring the casuals to follow boxing again like they did in the 90's or early 2000's. I know it's sad. Just think about the last two summers. Summer time is when boxing has it's biggest fights and this is now the 2nd summer in a row with nada! Last good summer for boxing was cotto vs margarito.

why do you like kesha lol she is a joke
