Whats' up SRL. I trained out of SF originally but moved down to san jose recently so haven't been able to hit my gym, but still do bag work down here and visit other gyms in the area.
Boxing will always be first but I have grown to love MMA. I will tend to watch every boxing card I can, I will only really watch a UFC card maybe once or twice a month, if there is a big one on.
UFC could teach boxing a whole lot, how to stack their cards, how to force matchups against the best etc. UFC does need to start paying its fighters a bit more though.
MMA has one org. If two fighters don't fight each other than Dana makes them or they don't get paid. Doesn't work in boxing..
I love boxing more, but I've been more entertained by MMA the last year or two.
And boxing people who dog MMA & MMA people who dog boxing are f#cking momos. Be indifferent to the other sport if you wanna, but hating on the other sport always come off like you feel threatened by that sport towards your favorite more than anything. Boxing & MMA, have, are & will continue to co-exist in the sportworld. Neither is going anywhere. In fact in another decade when those cats fighting with swords in the ring or some next level "real fighting" sport takes off MMA & Boxing will probably be homies ****ting on the new sport.

Contrary to some boxing peoples opinion fighters in the UFC can turn down fights & in fact it happens all the time.
I'm a huge proponent of boxers & boxers getting paid, but I could give a f#ck if the #1 draw in boxing gets $30M-$50M per fight or $7M-$8M like top UFC cats get right now (although I bet with a UFC type setup there would be more revenue so boxing guys in this sorta group would still be making more than cats in the UFC) if in return we got the top guys fighting the top guys like what happens in the UFC.
Don't watch boxing. But I can see why people like MMA.
They are 2 completely different sports. Boxers (who don't have experience in MMA, which is most of them) wouldn't last in an MMA fight with your average MMA fighter in MMA rules and vice versa.
