Yeah calling hopkins idiot say that to him inside the ring.
And say that to arum and he might slap you with his dollars. He's a greedy pig and i have his name on my sig but if you read between their lines they have a point. What they're just saying is:boxing obviously is better than mma andit was clearly shown by the last fights and on how you analyze and enjoy a boxing match compared to how you see two men looking like they're enjoying themselves on the mat.
I wasn't specifically calling those two idiots although it may have looked like that. I was calling anyone who thinks there is some sort of Boxing vs MMA war an idiot. You cannot possibly justify saying Boxing is better than MMA when they are different sports. That's like saying Tom Brady is better than Kobe Bryant, makes no sense
The UG(mixedmartialarts.com) - "Boxing is dead"
Boxing Scene - "MMA is dying"
STFU!
I love martial arts and personally love MMA but I like boxing too. I like Combat Sports, neither sport is dying and actually the only beef between these 2 are the fans.....
Boxing is a discipline of MMA......
Nick Diaz trains with Andre Ward..........
Andre Ward is friends with Uriah Faber.........
Sugar Ray Leonard watches MMA......
Mike Tyson watches MMA........
Gilbert Melendez watches Boxing......
Etc......
****ing swear cats are insecure.....
While I agree it's mainly fans stiring the pot. Have you seen the video of Arum talking **** about MMA? Or Hopkins? It's idiots like them that gets people going so you can't really just blame the fans. Also, i'm sure they're are MMA guys saying **** and talking the opposite crap Hopkins and Arum are, I just can't think of any off the top of my head so im not just picking on boxing guys here
Ok I usually don't go into these topics because i'm a fan of both sports but it's hard to ignore stupidity. I'm just interested to know arum, how would Pac-Floyd kill MMA? And MuckMuck, title fights are 5 rounds so no you can't "hold someone on the floor for 3 rounds" and become the best so please don't comment on something you know absolutlely nothing about.
IMO both sports are always going to be around, MMA is as big as it's ever been and continuing to rise, albeit at a slower pace than the boom of previous years but it is getting bigger especially from a global perspective. And this has forced boxing to step up and put on decent fights instead of the ****e that drove people to MMA in the first place. Both will live on and make huge money and put up big PPV numbers but one thing that will never change: there will always be retards hoping MMA "dies"
Pacquiao/Mayweather would kill MMA for a night but what about afterwards? There are alot of great fights in boxing but by far the biggest fight is Pacquiao/Mayweather. After that what is left to keep the casual fan entertained?
The UFC is every where because they put themselves out there and are one brand. Boxing can't do what the UFC is doing because the promoters are too greedy to share. People are constantly complaining of spending 50-60 dollars for a main event. They feel ripped off because the undercard fights are ****ty one-sided mismatches and then if the main event ends early that it. At least with a UFC card you are going to get your moneys worth because they are going to show interesting fights and may have a couple of title fights in one card. Now a days every champion in boxing wants to be the headliner.
The last thing is if you don't like MMA then don't watch it and don't order it if you are gonna go in with your mind made up that you are not going to like it. I follow both sports and it gets tiring see how MMA wants to kill boxing or boxing wants to kill MMA. Who cares? You are not going to change anyone's mind by calling it gay or boring. People are still going to watch it and the UFC is still going to sellout arenas around the world. MMA and boxing are not going anywhere so get used to it.
Finally an intelligent person gives there opinion. Well done sir!
Alright.But it wouldn't change my view that boxing is more intelligent,more unpredictable, more dramatic than ufc.
Their only edge? They don't have multiple governing bodies like boxing has but still they suck like homos sucks cock.
That's your opinion, i'm not here to try change that. I'm simply defending a sport I like much like you probably would. Also can I ask if u think it's so gay or whatever, why'd you buy it last night?
What i mean "kill" is pac and mayweather would give a fatal blow to mma. But not necessarily would close down mma. Heck the environmentalists almost did wrestling but still people watch that crap. What i mean kill is more people would turn their attention to boxing than mma after they meet. "What's this hype about this two best guys in boxing meeting each other in their prime?"But not necessarily "close" down mma.That's just a form of expression like pbf "imma whoop his ass" but he isn't really touching the other guy's ass don't he? I mean he might do what ellerbe does to him but not inside the ring coz that willl be against the rules right? "No hitting below the belt ' and the ass is basically below the belt, right? Same as "kill":form of expression. Get it? I expect you don't so there's no point for exaggeration'.
Either way, your point makes no sense. You're talking as if MMA got all its fans directly from boxing and now boxing is on a mission to try win them back like you have this sad little war going on in your mind. Sure there are probably some fans that stopped watching boxing and picked up MMA but i highly doubt that some monster PPV from boxing is going to make people completely abandon watching MMA the same way the UFC didn't come along and take all boxing fans away.
Both sports are going to live on. When/if Pac-Floyd comes along it will be HUGE!! No doubt. But even if the next UFC PPV is the very next weekend it's still gonna pull big numbers as long as it has recognizable names, as it will always do. So as much as I hate to destroy your dream of UFC withering away and becoming a mere side-show, it's not going to happen. But don't worry because thankfully as you said things are looking up for boxing and we're all being treated to some great fights.
However as i've read your previous posts I suggest you stop making fun of "homo mma" as you called it and take a look in the mirror yourself son. Anyone who sees two men grappling in a sport and thinks "two guys passionately caressing each other on the mat" has gotta be a homo imo
And since you ask me a question i'll also ask you one. What's the name of that chick in your avatar? One of those metart models perhaps?
Oh sorry I was reading a previous post of yours and it didn't have quotations so I thought you meant you bought it. Guess not, confusing. The chick is Miranda Kerr, she's a victoria's secret angel i believe
What I find funny,is this Boxing is gonna kill MMA or MMA is killing Boxing.How are they killing each other ? Why can't both of them be alive ? I like Boxing more than MMA,but I'm a fan of both.Both are great sports and they will always live together.
That's what i said when this retarded TS said Pac-Floyd is gonna kill MMA and he ignored me and won't answer lol such morons
I see his post as intelligent and reasonable as well unlike yours.
You didn't even respond to the discussion we were having and decided to make fun of my username and now you come out with this crap....I don't even know why I bother lol
As far as i know this debate started when this mma fans and mma writers proclaimed mma as the next best thing and adding salt to injury that boxing is dead.
Now those recent fights screamed: "It's payback time!"
And now even before i made this thread i saw a lot of fans complaining about ufc on youtube boxing videos in reference to those great fights we just had. I wish i didn't spend my cash to that lame gsp rematch to the guy he already beat twice.
And so it fueled me the boxing gods have answered the injustices made by these sports writers saying boxing is dead and their fans gatecrashing on boxing forums talking about ufc even though it's a boxing forum just to disrespect.
And mma and boxing are closer than bradley compared to kobe. They're both combat sports. Your comparison is flawed.
I agree with you there, I even said in the previous post about Arum and B-Hop that there are idiots in the MMA world stiring the pot about MMA vs Boxing too but I just couldn't name them. I think ANYONE talking BS about MMA vs Boxing is just being stupid. I'm not talking about you or Boxing people i'm on about everyone.
I find the whole thing ridiculous when it's clear that Boxing has such a storied legacy and so many great athletes that it's never going anywhere. There's always going to be guys that people want to see fight even after Pac-Floyd. But MMA has established itself as a legitamate sport and every day it's gaining more notoriety in the mainstream media and it's not going anywhere either and people like you need to accept that and get over it
Bob is a old scumbag so I really don't give a **** if he thinks MMA fighters are a bunch of Homos.....
Hopkins said what he said because the UFC was promoting an event I think in the same week he was promoting his Boxing event.. and the reporter asked him abotu the UFC...... what do you think Dana would say if he was in that situation?
2nd, be honest mostly MMA fighters have notin butgood tings to say abotu Boxing... its really the Boxing people talking **** because they're afraid.....
Oh I know Hopkins was just **** talking or whatever but i'm saying it's these type of comments from known people in the business that gets the online warriors crying over MMA taking over.
I find it quite sad that people like TS need to bash such a great sport just because Boxing had a brief downfall when they could just spend there time discussing the sport they like instead
And somebody said that labeling somebody(like me) as gay might be a gay too. What goes around comes around.ANd look at your avatar's name. Before you post here make a new account with a name like i_am_ellerbe or something.
Aw what's the matter? Can't think of a logical response? Can't come up with another ridiculous reason as to how boxing will "kill" mma so you attack my username??haha you're pathetic
And you labeling me a homo coz i called two men hugging each other on the mat passionately as "homo" sounds logical? Sure it may be flawed line in terms of moralistic nuns like you would think but i don't see calling me a homo because of that being reasonable.
No i'm not saying that, i'm saying it because you saw two highly trained athletes grappling in a sanctioned sporting event and homo-erotic thoughts are what came to your mind
The TS and responses bashing MMA are hilarious, they get worse every time i come here. But i'm glad to see some intelligent people commenting in the thread too. The main reason, imo, that MMA is doing better right now is because the top fights are almost always put on and the fans get what they want. And for whoever said it, MMA/UFC will not "fizzle out"...hate to break it to you.
And yes the UFC has enough stars to fill a magazine ad...dumb question
