Another "Boxing is dead" video.

They didn't say anything too crazy. I agree on some points the casual fan and/or someone just flipping through channels would have a hard time being interested in blow outs or some of this horrible match making. The sport would benefit with some sort of system or administration to sort out the mess with all the belts etc etc. We need more fights between the top dogs as well. The Super Six was awesome because of that but even then they left out Bute and look at what's going on now, Bute and Ward won't fight each other. The sport will never completely die out there are tons of die hard fans but in the current state it's in and how it's run it will never gain that mainstream appeal it had back in the day. Fights will be important but only to its base, you won't have those Ali vs Frazier moments where everyone is watching.

These numbskulls never seem to have any brains. First of all, these PPV numbers they mention are only talking about how well the fight did in America alone. And these #s are some of the highest in the history of the sport.

Do they simply ignore that everyone in the Phillipines watches when Pacquiao fights, that half of Germany tunes in to Klitschko fights, or how big Bute and Alvarez are starting to get in Canada/Mexico for a few examples?

And 'hogging up' other fights? Is he serious right now? Guy has no idea what hes talking about, or simply is trying to push some biased point of view.

Outrageous, they dont even call it mma either. Do they not even realize that 'UFC' is a brand name, and that fans only tune in to that brand name while many other mma organzitions have been failing miserably.

It pains me that people that dont know what theyre talking about actually get paid for this kind of garbage commentary.

Exactly. If anything MMA could die soon if the UFC continues its monopoly bull****.

People put way o much weight in PPV. PPV is a bad thing. The day there are no PPV stars, boxing can start over and maybe get a network deal.

Biggest myth ever....

"Boxing never puts on big fights and UFC always does."

Another thing I don't like is the fact everyone thinks they are fighting 20 cans and in the UFC they fight the best from the start. First off the talent pool in boxing is huge compared to MMA let alone the UFC. Secondly, who is the best in MMA? Who they tell you is the best. Sure some of them are, but likely a lot of guys are left out. You have to work your way up in boxing, and show your worth. You don't just get thrown a shot because someone labeled you a star.
