Long Time PPV Promoter Joe Hand: Boxing is Dead

[TheNegation]

do you train/fight in mma or boxing?

I train Thai Boxing currently and I wrestled in High Shool

[Swoosh]

When I go to sell [UFC] in a bar or a restaurant, they understand they’re going to get 3 hours of entertainment. Every fight is a great fight.

I dig MMA, but this could not be further from the truth. 75% of MMA fights are borderline boring.

I agree but it usually depends on what you define as "boring"

You don't know **** bro.

I was into boxing before MMA and I still consider myself a boxing fan. I still watch fights on HBO and still buy PPV's that Jones Jr and Pacquiao fight on.

I am still more into MMA but that doesn't mean I don't like boxing, nor do I agree that it is dead but it has caused boxing to up it's game.

I didn't post this article to take a **** on boxing, it has to do with boxing and it's relevant to it so I posted it in the boxing section. I didn't do it to piss anybody off, although I wouldn't need to post an article to piss you guys off because the mention of MMA automatically sends you elitists into PMS mode.

I love both sports but just because you guys can't stand the fact that another combat sport exists doesn't mean you have to take it out on the person posting the article.

Clean the sand out of your vagina's and stop being so hypersensitive. I didn't even make a comment on the subject and I'm the bad guy?


LOL.

Sorry "bro," but this same exact thread was posted shortly before this copy and paste job.

And I am a fan of MMA.

Sorry I didn't see it. I stumbled across it on mmamania and though I'd post it.

Well, Joe Hand is right. Whether I like it or not. Yes, mixed martial artists are about as skillful as ******s fighting in a schoolyard, but they've been doing a better job of entertaining the masses than boxing has been.

Seriously boxing is just better than UFC/MMA, honestly with MMA every ****ING fight is a PPV, they were actually going to charge people 50 ****ing dollars for a rematch of a fight that happened less than a year ago, and ****** ass anyway. I much prefer boxing when they have a big PPV it's usually worth it since it's a quality fight, no past its or has beens like the UFC has to make a PPV card.Seriously UFC 102 is being headlined by guys who lost their last fights and are clearly past it. UFC 99 big waste as well, W.Silva VS Rich Franklin what is the point of this? At least in boxing they put top fighters against each other for free, unlike UFC. When has a title been on the line for free UFC show, I believe only ONCE. And UFC must think their fans are made of money throwing together shows three weeks apart from each other.

BTW: I buy almost every UFC on HD PPV just sayin I ****ing hate how much it costs and I usually feel isn't worth it.
