I Ordered UFC 114 Tonight...And Really? This Is What They Say Is Taking Over Boxing?

[boxaholic]

Im not a fan of MMA but I do have lots of Fam and Friends that enjoy it over boxing. Every time I watch it I tell them thi guy is Vulnerable for a right hook. He puts his head back every time, He needs to work on his foot work, He needs better hand speed, any average boxer will kick this guys ass, Why are they on the floor grinding each other, This is better than boxing.

They actually are not hitting 400k-500k buys per month. Infact since UFC 100 they have only gone over the 400,000 mark I believe 3 times. The numbers have been going down as of late.

Not to mention the numbers Dana gives out are more than likely over inflated. He's a former aerobics instructor turned president of a cage fighting league so you know he can't be trusted.

I don't mind MMA. I'm a much bigger boxing fan, but I'll check out other types of fighting sports.

Yesterday at a bar though, with everyone booing the overhyped fight, I wondered "is this the UFC version of Mayweather-De La Hoya?"

I use to watch more MMA than I do now. The biggest problem that UFC is starting the face is that fighters are learning to fight smart. And because of the rule set, it basically rewards fighters to fight like Rashad did last night. GSP also fights like this now and Couture has made an entire career off of cage hugging.

The problem is UFC can't go to a ring because the cage is part of it's lore. And they can't just change the rules because that could make it illegal in some states.

Exactly if you go back4 weeks ago UFC had an awsome main event with a great first round KO in the main event. Seriously Boxing has just as many PPV's that get tons of hype and end up anti-climactic.


Stop overexaggerating ****** jack asses!

stop your goddamn whining. UFC/MMA is great and so was this card. When was the last time you saw Tim Duncan and Tony Parker at a boxing event?Or when was the last time you saw boxing apparel being sold at stores at the mall. UFC/MMA does a great job of marketing.
