Is Boxing Dieing ?

[Kakutogi-Gumi]

Yamaguchi-Gumi are sly yakuza.

[duss]

Yup

In the end Pride ended up ****ing Dana White in the ass pretty good with that deal.

not really by buying out pride he bought out his only real competion thats why ufc is even bigger now that pride is gone think about guy

[1000 Left Fist]

ur spelling is DYING

[Kc-hoodsta]

this has been the start of a great year in boxing and then somebody comes up with this ****** ****

[duss]

Or it's because Tanegawa puts on god awful cards and protects fighters instead of actually letting them be competitive.

your probably right i cant say much because i havent really kept up with dream, but can u not say that boxing has alot of these tendencies protecting fighters and awful cards, they have been doing better but alot more can be done.

well lets see there was two fights before that two that didnt even last that long and um also two on the john vs juarez fight not whole lot considering ufc usually puts out 8 fights everytime and usually most of them is exciting, your not getting it you just named fights recently, i just said they past couple of years they have been getting better but still needs work, i love boxing but i dont like the many different belts there needs too be just one so everyone is fighting each other.

But obviously you like watching fights were its uncompetitive like pavlik vs rubio and cotto vs jennings, ortiz killing everbody in the ufc if a guy was running through oppistion the way ortiz is right now, he would have already faced somebody with a big name that would have posed a bigger threat.

but i guess you like seen undefeated fighters staying undefeated because they never take on the best in there weight classes i guess you like pampered record fighters

I love boxing and support it but just trying to get fans to stop backing up a system that enables fighters to duck one another

uncompetitive?

You mean like

Silva vs Cote - PPV headliner
Silva vs Leites - PPV headliner
Rampage vs Jardine - PPV headliner - yeah it ended up being a sloppy close fight but on paper this being a ppv headliner is a joke.

And Victor Ortiz is only 22 years old, let the guy mature as a fighter before feeding him to the wolves. I read a lot of articles and posts of people who thought Arnoutis would be a good test, no need to Fernando Vargas him.

You don't know **** dude, Pride was already dead when the UFC bought it. You should read up on some facts before spouting off at the mouth.

bro come on silva makes almost everyone look uncompetitive and the middleweight is one of there weaker divisions but its getting better

im pretty sure silva vs leites hasnt happend yet

doesnt matter if on paper if its a joke it wasnt a bad fight, your not getting it the whole fight card of one mma event is usually more exciting than most boxing events .

so by giving him bigger opposition and harder fights isnt helping a fighter mature, but i guess you just want too see his record get bigger. i get it, its really not about letting a fighter mature, its about building up the record so that when he fights a bigger name he pulls in more money, i guess it makes sense, but yea putting him in harder fights wont make him more mature, sure.

Yeah the Arena sure was dead until Kirkland fought Julio this past week, and too bad nobody was able to see John vs Juarez because that was a fun fight to watch.

Funny how you complain about PPVs yet HBO isn't having one till May and the UFC has one every month for $54.95 if you want HD. Your argument is tired and old, if you don't like boxing or the way they run it, don't let the door hit you on the way out.

HAHAHA...It's funny aint it? These UFC/MMA fanboys keep saying PPV'S ARE KILLING Boxing yet UFC puts on 1 every month! UFC could find 8 bums from the street say they world class this and that and have Joe Rogan scream and yell how stacked this card is and it's the best UFC yet and some morons will believe it. UFC is the perfect example of how far are society has fallen!

The cards being more exciting is debatable, it depends what you like and which cards you are talking about. I watched GSP/Penn I,II and I thought both those fights were pretty much **** from an entertainment standpoint. I do agree that Pride had some amazing cards, I didn't mind buying the PPV's for those.
