HELP Boxing vs MMA Presentation for job interview!

[KILLA RIGHT]

The key is to just **** all over mma and ufc

[Texanballer]

Tell them there is no nationalistic pride in ufc.

Its all whites, blacks, some brazillians and japs.

In boxing you have crowds pull of mexicans when a fighter fights, of filipinos for pacquiao, thousands of brits come over to see hatton fight, etc.

I want to compare & contrast the two & end with obviously more plus's toward boxing.

I'm thinking about covering the following aspects:
1. Histories
2. Techniques/Conditioning
3. Promoting/PPVs
4. World wide appeal
5. Future

I don't know, I'm kind of getting a overall picture of how I want to do this. Anyone else have any ideas?

MMA: the 2 best fighters or the fight that fans want to see the most will usually end up happening

Boxing: the 2 best fighters or the fight that fans want to see will usually involve the 2 camps calling each other out and making accusation of ducking before breaking off negotiations due to the amount of money the other side wants and finally going their seperate ways to fight some B-Level bum who has no hope of winning.

I don't recommend talking about either for the type of job you're applying for. But I'm sure you will anyway. So just let us know how it goes.

MMA recycles and force feeds you the same guys over and over. Dan Henderson for example. He was suppose to be the next big thing from Pride, then he fights Rampage Jackson and loses, then hes in the main event of a UFC ppv against Anderson Silva and loses. Then he fights a no name, wins then is back in a main event of a UFC ppv.

Also with the best guys in MMA for example Silva and Fedor. There is no competition for them. Buying their fights is a waste of money imo.

You dont know MMA very well.
Dont do MMA vs Boxing, that will wont look good, do a history of boxing.
And please people stop talking about MMA on NSB, you dont know what your talking about.

LOL I dont wanna get into an MMA-Boxing war, but this is a good post.
If you dont like MMA dont watch it, but its as legitimate a combat sport as any.

Thanks to everyone!

I had the interview this morning & I did the presentation on Boxing/MMA. I cited the differences and similarities of both. Of course it was bias since I love boxing & don't enjoy MMA. Before I got started I asked if anyone was a fan of either & of the 7 I interviewed in front of, only 1 was a fan (of boxing ), luckily for me it was the old man that started the firm years ago and he really seemed to enjoy my presentation.

Anyway I think I conveyed confidence and poise under pressure which is exactly what they were looking for. All in all it was a success. So, thanks again to everyone who contributed to ideas and backgrounds of both sports. I should be finding out early next week if I get the job or not!
