MMA fighters can't fight and that sport won't last much longer.

Once again just like your whole argument it ends up as you don’t want to believe it as it Don’t support your argument so I’ll just say it isn’t true. Absolute nonsense you’ve already made up your mind and nothing i show you even with links which you haven’t included is going to change your mind. You argue like a woman not trying to argue to resolve a problem but only to win. I’ve spread you factually that outside of America in every other country boxing is bigger dramatically and you have shown me nothing except for your opinions and cynicism

You havent done any of these things bud. You've said something about Canelo doing big tv viewing figures in his home country, some Chinese guy doing big numbers in China and boxing doing better numbers in the UK ie one of the top boxing markets. Ive shown you PPV numbers that prove the UFC is something that people are paying high prices to watch on a far more consistent basis, and when you dismiss that as an America only thing ive shown you social media followings, Youtube views etc ie globally accessible sites that still clearly go in favour of MMA. Then you dismiss that as though nobody over the age of 18 knows how to use the ****ing internet.

You also dismiss logical common sense things like the significance of EA getting rid of the Fight Night games but making UFC games, excusing that as being solely a licence issue, even though EA is a ****ing massive company and some tiny developer and publisher are bringing out a boxing game soon with plenty of licenced fighters. And you dont take into account how seeing EA made UFC games on the shelf in stores next to NFL, NHL, NBA, MLB , FIFA etc helps exposure and lends to the perception of MMA being bigger.

Then theres the fact that MMA is relatively centralized into the UFC, the UFC name itself is a brand, it has video games, it has its own reality shows, it tours around the world extensively. Boxing in contrast is extremely fragmented and regional. Most people who arent boxing fans couldnt even name the promotions that boxers are fighting in. PBC, Matchroom, Top Rank etc have no real brand recognition, then it becomes even more of a cluster**** if you attempt to explain to someone the WBC, WBA, WBO and IBF. Most people have a basic grasp of what the UFC is. Also with the fragmentation you can have casual boxing fans in say the UK who dont even follow anything that happens in America or anywhere else, and vice versa in America, again...regional. Whereas if you're an MMA fan anywhere in the world you are watching the UFC because its the NFL or NBA of its sport. Add all of this up and it clearly leads to the UFC being by far the biggest combat sports league in the world. And that platform is why it has bigger stars overall than boxing, why it does the bigger numbers online and its also why its a safe bet that on most weekends the UFC is getting a bigger global audience than any boxing card.

I didn't even read the article but there's a si.ple argument why the fighters don't keep their 0s it's because there's one belt and you have to step up quite quickly If you wanna make money

Boxers can hide with padded records and vacant won straps for years

Yep. The article was suggesting that MMA is struggling to build stars because nobody goes undefeated for long enough. Which is ironic when practically every halfway decent boxer has a (almost always engineered to varying degrees) undefeated record and still nobody really gives a ****. Because its not just about the wins, its about being in high profile fights against other names.

No, more like this

You must live in a crazy ****ing place if the street fights there are full of black belts, olympians, K-1 GP winners etc.

''Clinch'' tactics

If I want to see that shlt, I'll pop on a John Ruiz fight.

You just said it wasnt technical, now you're saying its boring when you previously said it was all action lol.

Basically you dont like it because...you dont want to like it, because its a competitor to a sport you like. They can co-exist, its fine. Its actually a good thing to have two major combat sports around because on a slow week for one the other will probably have something good to watch.

I don't like to see grown men kicking and rolling on the floor.

Sry

More for others to enjoy

MMA/UFC don't have to come to a boxing forum to say how superior their sport is.

I mean, what's the point ?

I'll ask BPP to make a section just for MMA fans....

Look at the thread title. Theres another anti-MMA thread right now too.

Theres obviously people that watch more than one combat sport, are you saying people have to repeatedly kiss boxings ass just because this is a boxing forum? and have to be like "haha yeah you're right" when someone claims they cant fight and the sport is dying?

It'd be different if it was people repeatedly making actual troll threads just to **** on boxing and say MMA is better, but you're in an anti-MMA troll thread where me and a few other people are disagreeing with OPs bull****.

At least (as far as I know, I've haven't been into the MMA area) we are not going over to MMA section saying how superior boxers are, are we ?

NBA fans can shlt on whatever sport they want IN THEIR FORUMS
Ditto boxing

MMA and the like have inferior fighters.
It attracts the common folk.

Do you think it'd be weird if Sherdog had regular anti-boxing threads talking about how boxers cant fight and the sport is dying, and then nobody there was allowed to disagree with the claims because its an MMA forum?

Let's stick with boxing fans making truthful statements about those other fighting sports within a boxing forum.

MMA fans are free to make similar threads in their section

Where is my Nobel Peace prize ?

Shouldnt this thread be in the MMA section? its almost entirely MMA related.

I dont ever talk about MMA on here unless its in an MMA related thread.
