    everytime there is a boring fight, or a lopsided fight or whatever, everyone and their mama comes out talking about how bad boxing sucks. But where are these guys after the wars??

    I wonder if Mir had a comment after the pac-cotto fight

      This is the thing with mmgay people,they act like it's the boxing side who take shots at them all the time when in actual fact all this jelousy and bitterness comes from mmgay.


      The ufc lies about its ppv numbers and then compares them to the limited amount of non internet ppvs that boxing puts out.



      boxing can be dead and buried and it will still have more credibility than mmgay.

        There will always be a new superstar after another has faded.

        Alexander, P.Will, Bradley, Khan, Gamboa, Rigondeaux, Lopez, and many others are ready to take up the mantle.

        What's killing Boxing is greedy promoters who rather put on several decent cards than one awesome super card.

        Who rather hold fights in Vegas than in Stadiums like the one in Dallas.

        Who rather make a few more pennies than invest in the sport of boxing by putting on the best show possible.
        The highlighted points are especially valid.

          The last three UFC PPVs averaged less then 300k buys and Coleman vs Couture cost $50 yet its 10x worse then Hopkins-Jones.

          Lets just be honest here, while there is some negative talk from boxers/boxing writers, MMA fighters/writers/fans go out of their way to trash boxing at every chance they get and they openly cheer for the death of boxing. How often do you hear a boxer mention MMA out of nowhere like this?...unless its B-hop or Mayweather its never.

          The MMA community is obsessed with destroying boxing and they have some huge delusions of grandeur...look at how many fans think that MMA will become more popular then soccer and football or any other major sport. Its a cult sport with angry basement dweller fans.

              MMA is the "contender" to boxing's "champion." The sport will do whatever it has to do to survive, grow and thrive. Its supporters will take pot-shots at boxing whenever they have the chance, especially after a lackluster "superfight." But, as in nature, the fittest will survive. Time will tell.
