MMA is starting to fade, BOXING BACK BABY!

[sweetscience18]

im more pumped for those than most of the boxing fights coming up


exactly!!!!!!!!!1

Dos Santos will win because he has superior BOXING
And GSP will win because he does the thing that makes me hate watching mma fights, hell wrestle the guy down and control him the whole fight wont submit anyone or knock em out because theyre scared to get tko'd

In MMA/UFC, they're getting the fights that are suppose to be happnening and the fights that the fans are actually calling for. Cant say the same for boxing. We get fights that are forced upon us and shoved down our throats.

You know how long people been asking for a GSP vs Silvia fight.

[McFearless]

mma has only been around for like 20 years idiot

and still no legendary fights to speak of. as far as promotion and as much people that watch it, its a full blown sport with enough ******s watching it, idiot. at gthis point theres enough fighters to make something. so gtfo with that ****, "legends" with losses that are over half as many wins as they got lol

UFC PPV only brings in more money than boxing PPV per year. The problem is UFC runs solely on PPV and makes all its money there. Boxing makes only a small percentage of its yearly money on PPV alone. Boxing as a whole world wide dwarfs UFC and makes far more money than UFC.

Boxing PPV is really only one small sector: HBO. HBO is NOT boxing. HBO is just a channel, stop trying to compare UFC PPV to only HBO. Boxing is far bigger than that and literally dwarves MMA world wide in $$$ as I said.

It depends on the year of course.

OMG if we are talking about worldwide mma/ufc is nowhere near Boxing's level in generating money.

Exactly this. It was a ******ed statement made by an ignorant UFC fan whos on their bandwagon.

There are fighters that nobody has even heard of selling out arenas all over the world every week in countries like Argentina, Mexico, Japan, Australia or Ukraine as well as many others, boxing is still huge worldwide. Yet UFC's 30 events a year is going to bring in more revenue than the whole of boxing. Thats a very ignorant statement imo.

I remember reading an article that the crossover between these 2 sports fan base is less than 10%. Basically boxing fans dont watch mma (like myself I never watch that stuff) and mma fans dont really watch boxing.

There is a lot more crossover from the WWE to MMA than between boxing and MMA. WWE is a gateway drug to the MMA, lol.

Let me make an analogy. This is why people thought MMA was the future and Boxing was going to die.

Say you have a toy you always play with and it's your favorite toy because it's a spiderman with magnets on his hands and legs. Then one christmas you get a new flashy toy and you begin to play with and starts getting your attention. After a while you get bored of it and go back to your favorite toy spiderman. While you were playing with the new flashy toy, your favorite awesome toy was still being awesome you were just being entertained by the new thing.
