As a Boxing Fan I am sad tonight

[Who are you?]

You know, I have a story for you, that Im hoping you will understand.

This is a true story.

I live in Canada. I go to a bar to watch boxing fights.

One day I go to my bar and the bartender tells me "we dont show boxing anymore. we only show UFC"

This is only one bar.

But realize that PPV numbers we compete DIRECTLY with UFC. Mainstream coverage we compete directly.

So all you people saying that Toney doesnt represent us, and that Boxing V mma is unreal. Need to get with it.

We were embarassed tonight. We've been losing this Boxing V MMA debate for years.

for a start...

mma fighters don't accuse each other of drug use to fuuk up their own sport.

they don't have one hundred million different types of titles, they don't have ppl crying over catchweights.

they don't have fighters asking for extra drug test.

they dont have plaster of paris...

all this kind of helps them.

MMA fans don't care that toney is out of shape and washed up, they are laughing at boxing right now.

Every MMA fan is saying boxers aren;t real fighters.

Not true, I've been watching the fight with my friends. 2 boxers and 4 mma fighters. All the mma fighters were giving respect to Toney and boxing. We all knew what happened would happened. Theres just to much moron boxing fans and mma fans

UFC already gets much more mainstream coverage in USA than boxing

After tonight's embarassment, you can expect that trend to continue.

Great. I don't read or watch mainstream news. Good for them.

I'll continue to watch boxing and read about boxing. I don't need USA Today, ESPN, or CNN to tell me what sport to watch.

I'll continue to enjoy boxing for years and years to come while mainstream "analysts" and boxing "fans" tell me my sport is dying or dead.

Let them have it. I love being a fan of a sport that not many people know about. It's kind of like a secret club. When I do talk to people who follow the sport they are educated. You talk to UFC/MMA fans and all they want is pure bloodshed and they're usually white **** skinhead looking putos.

[MrRolltide91]

agree 100% with you

you'll probably be hounded by a few pacifist boxing snobs with their hippie bullcrap about "Jame Toney didn't represent boxing tonight...let the MMA guys enjoy their fights and us ours...bla bla bla" talk.....when they don't take into account how the media is gonna have a field day with this..it's always been a hot topic, Boxing VS MMA....just try to talk to any casual combat sport fan now about boxing being better and they'll now direct you to the Toney/Couture scrap

i agree. they are probably going to talk about this on first take, PTI, around the horn, and sportsnation.

The only losers in this debate are those who believe it's an actual debate, and morons like me who respond to it.

[F-22 Raptor]

this is ****** as hell, an mma fighter is SUPPOSED to win, he has harnessed much better fighting skills in many years of intense training.

[Run]

As a major boxing fan, I'm not sad. .

I think the mainstream fans are the ones who are butt hurt.

Probably. And those shows are all garbage. Actual sports fans know that.
