    Is Boxing More Popular Then MMA in America..Heres a quote from a mma fan.

    This is a quote from an mma fan, i wanted to know if u agree and if its true?


    "If you think no one cares then you spend too much time on sherdg. Boxing is still more popular than MMA in the United States and it shows when you compare PPV numbers. The major difference in the States is that there aren't enough quality boxing cards. When there is, they blow MMA out of the water. In Europe boxing is many times more popular than MMA and only in the UK will you see a lot of support for MMA, the continent is still in love with boxing.

    And no, if you consider watching boxing to be the fat chick to MMA's perfect 10, you are no fan of boxing and you shouldn't even pretend as much. I love both sports but I will forever hold that there are few things in sport as beautiful as a championship boxing match like Vasquez/Marquez, Corrales/Castillo, or Barrera/Morales. I've yet to see an MMA match that felt as epic as any one of those confrontations."

      i like MMA and Im glad there are promoters out there who want to fuse both worlds. this will always be a debate though because people feel passionate about their sport which is understandable.

          You gotta be living in a cave if you don't see the overwhelming response for MMA in the States.

          Between the UFC's deal with ****e, their monthly PPVs, Versus showcasing WEC (a Zuffa owned organization) with its bi-monthly cards and the overall appeal to the general public, me being a Boxing fan 1st can admit MMA has the edge over Boxing as far as mainstream popularity.

          But that doesn't mean Boxing is dead whatsoever.

            If boxing ever fuse with MMA completely, that's the day I stop watching boxing.

                  i can watch mma but it's not something i'd pay to see. boxing's in my blood, i can pay for that without thinking twice.

                    Id rather watch an MMA fight than a John Ruiz fight, at least they attempt to hit each other after they hug.
