Should Boxing promoters take BKFC seriously as potential competition?

Boxing should focus on boxing, not sure why you are on a boxing site and think every other sport is so much better

Do you not consider bare knuckle boxing the original form of boxing mind you, to be....boxing? https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/8/8a/John_L_Sullivan.jpg I watch all combat sports, but I’m referencing the should boxing view it as competition? Boxing as we know it, not in its original form at its essence is the greatest sport in the world. I’ll watch a good bare knuckle scrap as well though. Point competition or not, boxing ain’t going anywhere.

Bare knuckle boxing is apart of boxing. I welcome the rise of it etc

Boxing is the greatest sport in the world and ain’t going nowhere. Boxing > your life Stop talking down on the greatest sport in the world.

Nah. Its entertaining but its too much of a derivative of boxing to really get that big. MMA was different because it was something entirely new with its own skillset/techniques. Kickboxing is different enough to be its own thing too. BKB is just boxing without gloves. Boxing without gloves would probably have continued longer if not the legislations put against it. Now those century old laws have been finally rolled back which is why you can have sanctioned bare knuckle fights now. Not even a couple decades ago MMA or cage fighting was banned in most states and look how much that exploded. I think NY State only legalized it like 5 years ago. BKFC would be smart to put out as many shows as possible during the pandemic to get their name out there. If Nevada legalizes it that will be the next step. BKFC has the UFC model too.

I say yes they should; Especially if there is a high demand for it. It's another alternative combat sport like the UFC. In a few years, it has the potential of flourishing into becoming a very lucrative business someday; In which both promoters and fighters alike can earn a lot of money from.

I don't ever seeing a big name in their prime from UFC or boxing joining that bare knuckle thing. Their jus ain't enough $ for those type of fighters to join

Being an ******* I would say what kinda question is that to be asked, the top guys in boxing ain't even looking at that sideshow as competition. Unless that company starts signing a bunch of contenders outta boxing not the champions then UFC, Top Rank, PBC, DAZN/Matchroom with Hearn an GoldenBoy all those top companies would be sweating for their lively hoods
