Boxing is so dead

[TMLT87]

I should have typed ''proper'' punching.
MMA/UFC guys DKSAPP

They know a lot more about punching than boxers know about any of the other stuff MMA fighters do. Lol @ thinking a sport where the fighters train boxing pretty much daily isnt going to have plenty of fighters that can punch respectably, you telling me Hendo cant crack? Ngannou? Rumble? Lewis? Manhoef? Alex Pereira? Romero? Hunt? etc etc. And regardless, again, its 4oz gloves and no counts, ANYBODY can get slept in that environment.

The Transformers threw a bunch of SFX and eye candy at the audience.

Do I need to go on ?
Do I need to be a ''grumpy old man'' to state the obvious ?

Boxing is not an arthouse movie or a Michelin starred restaurant, its people punching each other in the face, these ******ed analogies are basically just ways of deflecting from MMA being more exciting.

Why would you think someone who competes in a sport that has punching automatically couldnt possibly be able to crack unless theyre officially a boxer? do they not train their hands regularly? dont they have boxing coaches and in many cases spar with boxers?

Well I didnt agree at all with the initial claim that boxing is dead anyway, of course its not.

As for the question...who the **** knows. To me it comes across like this (in terms of size)

UFC> several boxing promotions (PBC, Top Rank, Matchroom etc) > a bunch of MMA promotions (Bellator, One, PFL, Rizin etc) > tons of really small scale stuff for both, with boxing having more overall events.

I was able to come across boxing numbers.
But numbers are not important to support such a claim.
I mean, MMA guys are purists and don't need the money, so it's irrelevant, right ?

The ratings for boxing suck now. Too many channels and just no superstars the common man can support. AJ and Canelo are on the tail end of there career and no one can replace them

Boxing definitely needs a new superstar hopefully Ennis is what everyone thinks he is ..a generational talent

It also misses some characters outside the ring and villians like Mayorga, Broner, Mike Tyson etc people you had to watch even to laugh at or think wtf

Now on to opinions, MMA is simply more exciting, more unpredictable and it has wayy more ways a fight can go or finish in exciting fashion. The storylines are better, it's more gripping. Look at last weekend. You had a near unbeatable champ about to even the record for winning streak in the UFC. He's winning the fight untill a HL reel headkick ends the fight out of nowhere. It's full of emotion and shock. It's all over social media, it's alive.

I feel like the absolute cream of the crop boxing matches are for the most part better than the best MMA fights. Like off the top of my head stuff like the Ward/Gatti, Bowe/Holyfield and Barrera/Morales trilogies, Hagler/Hearns etc etc surpasses stuff like Shogun/Hendo 1, Gaethje/Chandler, Frye/Takayama, the Wand/Rampage fights etc etc. But where MMA wins is CONSISTENCY. Theres a big difference between hand picking the best fights from multiple decades worth of material to fill an afternoon watching vs watching current cards start to finish as they happen. MMA just seems to deliver some form of craziness or talking point more regularly, whether its a wild fight or a highlight reel KO or a mad comeback/upset, you often get multiple of these things on a single card. And thats another thing, MMA is more built around whole cards rather than just one fight, you can mention a specific card from 10+ years ago to an MMA fan and they'll be like "oh yeah thats the one where X, Y, Z happened". Granted things have changed a bit once they started pumping out **** tons of free tv cards as well but even now they still multiple times a year have bigger cards where theres a genuine buzz and enthusiasm for the whole night of fights. Its akin to something like Wrestlemania or whatever where it feels like a big spectacle start to finish.
