    Honestly IDK how you can have that guy at the bottom of your posts and honestly ask that question.

    You should know. Again, there's a reason Mcgregor is pissed.

        I'm a fan of both. I don't get this bs about one of the other.

        It's like saying you can't like baseball and basketball. It's just bs. Lately, I've actually enjoyed UFC more than boxing.

            I'm liking the UFC more and more as time goes by. They do everything better than boxing. Better promotions. Better coverage. Matchmaking so much better you can't even compare the two.

            I still much prefer boxing as a sport and probably always will. But I can easily see why people like MMA. A constant flow of fresh storylines, whereas in boxing everything just drags on for years. For the casual sportsfan, boxing is a boring sport to follow.

              Dis.

              I only enjoy combat sports as far as sports go. Anything involving hitting or chasing a ball around has far too much contrived action in it for me.

              Show me mfers hitting each other in the head regardless of the limbs they are doing it with.

                For the same reason that boxers now demand $10 million to fight their mandatories. When the economics is out of balance, the sport suffers.

                  If he were a boxer he'd be worth $100 million right now. Mayweather demonstrated that in a relatively free market (ie boxing) you can pursue your own business interests. UFC is a cartel which does not allow that.

                    Organization. Boxing is a freestyle cash grab whereas UFC is an organized sport with credible rankings, matchmaking and eliminators.

                    If boxing had structure it would be a lot more appealing.

                      I don't care how fuqqed up boxing is. UFC is pathetic. Not to mention they exploit their talent monetarily to an absurd extreme.
                      I'll tell you why and I'll try keep it short and to the point.

                      UFC undercards they aren't complete mismatches they actually seem like competitive fights this differs to boxing, boxing undercards are more like a spectacle to show off a car or something like that.
                      We put our top talent in with people who have absolutely ZERO chance for about 10-20 fights before they fight anyone good and even after fighting someone good we have to wait years upon years to see another good fight happen unlike UFC its hard fights after hard fights THE WAY ITS MEANT TO BE!
