As a boxing fan, do you like MMA or Pro Wrestling?

[VatoMulatto]

MMA HANDS DOWN!!


MMA is a SPORT. WWE is like watching theatre or a movie. Why would anyone who likes combat sport prefer watching a bunch of actors in scripted fights pretend to hit each other??

Boxing 1st...nothing like big time boxing. It's in a league of its own. Sweet science baby!

MMA....casual - will watch once in a while. I usually end up changing the channel out of boredom/disgust

WWE haven't watched since the 90s lol....too juvenile, loved it when I was a kid though.

[Elroy The Great]

no

one is fake the other is gay

I loved pro wrestling as a kid. Then I discovered it was fake & got shook & never really watched it again. Eventually moved into casual boxing fandom, before becoming a hardcore boxing fan thanks to Jorge Paez Sr. Than when MMA was birthed via the UFC I was a fan right out of the gate & was renting the videos at the local video store all the time. Still into boxing & MMA & I'd even consider myself a fan of other combat sports like kickboxing, grappling & muay thai primarily with an interest in all forms of combat & I also like the rich history of sumo wrestling although I don't watch it nearly as much as I used to.

That press conference today had me in stitches..if I had to rate the "winner" of the world tour thus far, it goes like this:

round 1: 🇺🇸 Mayweather 10-9
round 2: 🇮🇪 McGregor 10-8

And now the WWE has invited both of them to appear on Monday Night Raw.

As a fan of combat sports, can you see yourself watching mix martial arts or pro wrestling and if you watch both, how does it compare to the other combat sport we love, boxing?

[Biolink]

Both are alright even though I don't watch wrestling anymore I gained appreciation for them as athletes overall. Throwing your body around like that week after week isn't easy.

[FinitoxDinamita]

Both are boring to me. Who da *** watches wrestling? Lol Last time i did was in 4th grade.

Mma matches have too many gay sht like clinching and nuts in each other's face. I dont enjoy that at all.

Boxing is the only combat sport i watch.

[Joe Beamish]

Don't care for either, but do admire MMA's having real champions. Pitting the best against the best.

[The Time]

Lol, Oh Boy! The discussions that the Mayweather-McGregor Wrestlemania fight bring out. Haha

I am a fan of both. I've been a life long martial artist and former freestylr wrestling so MMA resonates with me and as a young un I enjoyed the pomp and showmanship of pro wrestling.

Boxing is it's own unique beast though. I love the subtleties of techniques in boxing. I'm not a boxer though. I like to try and incorporate boxing techniques and subtleties into my overall striking.

So I'm big fan of all 3. The fanboy factionism between the 3 amuses me.
