Is boxing dead?

The point is that i think they gave tito the fight because he is one of their star fighters

The UFC don't appoint the judges. The Nevada state athletic commission do. When they hold cards outside of Nevada then the judges are appointed by the relevant athletic commission. Dana White has no control over the decisions. He's not hand picking the judges and telling them how to score the fights.

Tito/Forrest was a close fight. I thought that Tito won it. I haven't seen the fight in a while, but when I watched it I thought that Tito edged it.

boxing PPV i think is more expensive than UFC.

each one has its one fan base but Boxing is unlike UFC that must be phyically alot.

Mayweather is going up in wieght and try to use only his boxing ability. in UFC there is a UFC ability for somebody who wan to demo the techin is good because there are many.

Super Lightweight is right. Hispanics love boxing and as long as they don't abandon the sport it's not going anywhere. I was at a boxing event in South Texas two weeks ago. Just mostly guys with less then 10 fights yet that place filled to capacity and had alot of people still in line.

As for someone laughing at BJJ purple belt, that is considered very knowledgable in BJJ. Most have between 3-7 years of BJJ at that point. It is not uncommon for a purple belt to be an instructor as it usually takes 10+ years to get a BJJ black belt.

Boxing will die a slow painful death if they keep making **** fights like Calzaghe/Manfredo and Taylor/Mora which is not set but a maybe..........When real fights like Calzaghe/Kessler or Taylor/Wright II or Taylor/Miranda could be happening.

Boxing just needs to be seen more on cable TV. A deal with one of the main stations would do wonders for them. Even a couple promos on ESPN every now and then. They dont try hard enough to appeal to the casual viewer. Pacman should already be a huge star here among all fans, but hes still unknown to the casual fans.

Also UFC struck a Deal with HBO! good buy hbo boxing....HBO is not cashing in on the new IT SPORT!

This is a good thing let HBO have UFC and **** their sport up, and boxing will have to go back to basic cable, or maybe even having less Pay per views? More UFC PPVs less boxing PPVs sounds right to me...

Boxing isn't dead but it's struggling in the muck right now. It'll never die; it'll just weaken more and more.

Nothing dies as long as the internet is around.
