Stallone on boxing and MMA.
Jeremy Lorence: What do you think the boxing industry has to do in order to prevent becoming totally obsolete in comparison to MMA? I have a ton of respect for fighters in both sports but as a long time boxing fan I do not want to see boxing eventually go extinct.
Also would you ever consider directing a film dealing with MMA?
Sylvester Stallone: Jeremy, I’ve been intrigued with MMA because to have this incredibly ballsy sport emerge when all of our basic male competitive instincts are being evaporated in this politically correct age - it’s a modern day miracle that it exists. I truly admire the sport and the characters it produces. Unfortunately, I think boxing is going to need a major upheaval and a new sense of presentation to survive against MMA. I believe Dana White, who is the most prominent driving force in sports today, is one of the best businessmen in the country. Unfortunately, there is no one like that in boxing at this moment.
