    boxing is acting like MMA doesnt exist at all .
    One could argue that MMA is the NASCAR of racing, while boxing is the Formula 1 of racing. Both have their seperate qualities....and very different fan base.

      They are different, yet I am a big fan of both.

        anyway , when i go to any fight event i pay the full price for ringside seats to escape the ******ed teens looking for blood and thinking they are tuffguys because they seat and watch guys fighting .

        sometimes some ******s with baseball hats sneak next to me , and sadly even the most expensive tickets doesnt allow you to shoot them

            MMA is a joke. Those poor garbage guys don't make ****, compare to boxers . It will never ever be big like boxing. I know the sports media screws boxing more then any other sport, but boxing will always will be big. You will never see any MMA fighter making 10 to 20 million for a fight.

                They don't make **** in Japan. You don't have any MMA fighter that makes a million for a fight. We have many boxers that makes a million or more for each fight. Like I said MMA is for little kids that don't know **** about boxing. I respect boxers, I don't respect these bums from MMA period.

                    They make a lot of money in Japan, but not like top level boxers. The top Pride fighters make in excess of $60,000. The newbie Pride fighters make a better pay than newbie boxers who make a few hundred dollars in their first few fights.
