Mike Tyson says UFC has surpassed boxing

[Imatroll]

Yea UFC has a card every month and they always do good numbers. Overall, Easily surpassing boxing PPV numbers

Boxing needs to step up their game

[dj Ramos]

tyson is right. you cant blame it for it. ufc has a lot of PPVs and make solid numbers. they generate more money than boxing, especially with the shirt sales tapout and all that.

Nothing boxing can do about that. UFC fans aren't interested in the fighters, they are interested in the 90 second KO. They get maybe 2-3 of those every card. Whenever we get a quick KO (Martinez, Donaire) we act like it's the greatest thing in the world. What do UFC fans call it? Another PPV.

UFGay fans want ghey dryhumping bum fights.

It's all about promotion. UFC is being promoted the right way, it's still getting a plethora of fans and growing.

I still think one of the MAIN reasons boxing is on a flat-line is because now days people want to see fights in <90 seconds like you said (sweet jesus). They want Blood and UFC delivers it 3/5 times. I don't think kids these days have the patience to sit for 12rounds. My 2cents

Wow, he doesn't know who Donaire and Montiel are. They're the top fighters in boxing and someone like Tyson doesn't know who they are. Something is wrong there.

you know what would bring boxing back to the mainstream? more polite clapping like at german fights!

Mike speaks the truth. Those are the reasons why the casual fans are turning more to MMA.

You may have a case. The real question is: Will MMA last compared to boxing?

Btw, I follow MMA too so am not into hitting that MMA is gay.

Well its more about the UFC brand.

The UFC card this Saturday is in Australia. The main event is a nontitle fight between two Americans. The event sold out in 30 mins. All 18,000 tickets


I was at the Martinez/Williams fight. You could walk up that night and buy tickets. Plus Boardwalk hall had was half full at like 5,000 people.
