Why Can't the UFC and Boxing Just Get Along?

[TheEvilSaint]

why does there have to be competition? why cant the UFC just go its own way and boxing go its own way? the UFC isnt really intrested in boxing. boxing and boxers are the ones talking all the trash.

personally, im a fan of both. i love boxing. i love the UFC. both have their strengths and weaknesses. neither are perfect and honestly, neither are going away. boxing can get worse, but it cant die. sports dont die. the UFC isnt a fad. its at its highest in popularity right now, but its going to be popular for years to come.

whats the point of all these "boxing vs UFC" threads? you dont like the UFC? dont watch it! you dont like boxing? dont watch it! watch what you like, no need to hate and try to kill one or the other.

this feud is ****** and unneccessary. boxing's not going to improve itself by comparing to the UFC, it needs to fix its problems by looking at them and fixing them, not by looking at something else. the UFC is at its peak, so let its fans enjoy it, it was never this popular before. dont spoil it for the fans by sparking a rivalry. this isnt ****ing L.A.

let them both go their own way. this feud will never be ultimatly solved. so just leave it alone, cuz it wont go away by itself. it'll go away by just ignoring the differences. watch what you like, and let the respective sports go their own ways.

Because the "new guys" want the spotlight and the "old guys" want to keep it. It's ******, plently of spotlight. That's life.....

ive read **** where both are attacking each other and to me the better one is boxing so thats where i stand

There is no rivalry in my book, at least I do not participate in one. I love boxing and don't care much for UFC although aknowledge it as a great sport.


It's like comparing Baseball and Lacrosse, both guys use sticks and balls to play but these are completely different sports

Because $ is involved UFC is stealing Boxing Fans drawing them to their PPV's so Boxers feel the need to put UFC down in order to boost themselves up

like i said earlier, this isnt LA. you dont have to be on one side of the fence. the thing about being a fan is YOU can CHOOSE what to watch. you're not limited to watching only boxing or UFC, it is possible to be a fan of both.

they ought to have a show with boxing and mma and let the crowd decide who put on the better more entertaining fights. not to be the decider of which is better but to see which one puts on a better show that night. i'm sure between the two in one show, that both boxers and mma guys would fight their asses off to make a statement, which would benefit all of us with some intense fights.


i like fighting period, doesn't really matter what it is, but if i have to pick between the two, there is no comparison, boxing takes it hands down. but if i had to pick what era of boxing is better i would pick early 1900's late 1800's boxing over boxing today. or even before that when it was bareknuckle boxing. which in the reality of things bareknuckle boxing was more brutal and they had a broader range of strikes, similar to the mma. they were able to use elbows, back fists, open hand strikes, hit the throat, knee, grapple, etc, but no ground fighting.

but back to the topic at hand, i think that mma and boxing should put together a show with both to see who's fights are more exciting, that way the two could thrive off the rivalry and both make money and good fights.............but that's just me.............

I've tried watching UFC and I just can't get interested. Their KOs are much weaker than boxing. All I ever read about UFC (and see) is "so and so was stopped by blows to the face".

I see two blows get in and a referee telling them it's over. Wow.

Not to mention, my first experience with UFC last summer was seeing a guy clearly win two out of three rounds by BOXING and lose the decision because the announcers said "he didn't push the action". WHO GIVES A ****? What a ******, pointless sport. It's one thing to have bad decisions, but when the announcers defend them that's pathetic. They gave it to the name fighter by the way because he was on the other guy's back the entire third round. lol he sure got him good!
