Mma Vs Boxing Debate On Sportcenter Right Now!

[KILLA RIGHT]

I don't understand how ufc is bigger then boxing worldwide. Haye can fill up a ****en stadium in his hometown while ufc can't have 3 ufc events around the world and fill them up at the same time

They said they expected 1mill for tommorows fight and 500 k for the jones fight. But ufc got their biggest names why didn't they compare the oscar vs manny fight to ufc's biggest fight?

Dana expects it. I'm not so sure yet.

I wouldn't put this fight up against DLH/Pac. I would like to see how it goes up against Nog/Mir and Griffin/Sugar.

I bet oscar vs manny will double the lesnar vs couture fights numbers

[Kakutogi-Gumi]

you are seriously saying that the MMA demographic in America isnt middle class white males? Even Dana White admitted this.

That's the demograph right now. I do think as time goes by and there are more programs that sponsor grappling and people open their perceptions of fighting, it will get more multicultual. Jackson's and Lloyd Irvin have been making steps in the right direction.

Lesnar Couture isn't a huge fight for real MMA fans, they are just billing it as that to make it seem bigger than it is

Wilbon and Kornhesier.

Which already proves the discussion has no credibility. Both of them are buffoons.

I'm talking numbers wise not real mma fans plus only like 20% of ufc fans are real fans the other 80% are white pop culture fans

It's not.

Canada and The Ilses isn't Worldwide.

Sure striped down into individual Martial Arts, they can fill stadiums, but MMA isn't that popular yet in europe. Also, the Brit Boxing commission hasn't really made an effort to work with the UFC, so there still some work there as well.

Haye aint sold out the o2 for tomorrow yet. the is still tickets on sale, yet when the UFC came to the o2 it was sold out in 2days.

Another debate? itreally seems like America is on MMA's nuts.
