Rant: UFC will slowly take fans away from boxing

[BWC]

Same thing has happened to me and I NEVER thought it would. I have slowly become more inactive because there is NOTHING happening in boxing, it's just boring. On the other hand, the UFC has excitement going on every week whether with fights, press conferences, news, specials, their YT channel, video game... it's just so dynamic all around. And with the rise of striking in the UFC, boxing is just as good as dead rn.

No ducking in the UFC and boxing doesnt give fans what they want. Crap product in comparison, no structure. Boxing will be dead as soon as Golovkin is gone, he is the only link keeping me connected to boxing right now.

Right. UFC has a better hype machine but the idea that the best always fight the best in UFC is complete and utter garbage..

Everybody says boxing is dying every year...still ain't dead yet.

I think it's about to see a rise in viewership. We are in a situation now where there is a lot of talent in the ranks.

UFC is not remotely a threat because they have a particular fan base and the majority of them aren't boxing fans....

Boxing has a particular fan base and the majority of them aren't UFC fans...

Really nothing to compare. We've seen what the very best fighters in boxing can generate with a crappy undercard...

UFC can literally put every money-generating start they have in a PPV and it still won't touch the numbers for Mayweather vs Canelo, let alone Mayweather vs Oscar DLH/Pacquiao....

If UFC is a threat...I'll definitely take that....

If the UFC was that big of a threat then it wouldn't have sold...

No one will ever be able be able to BUY the NFL or NBA...and no one will ever be able to BUY BOXING....Haymon has a ton of fighters but he can't get everyone...

Dude, no one can buy MMA. UFC is just ONE promoter. There is Bellator, Rizin, KSW, Road FC. a ton of promotions.

Slowly? they already did, the only people who watch boxing are all over 40 years old, and some ********** and blacks.

Blacks and latinos are now into UFC as well, as boxing, so they already captured that demo

and UFC already has the youth, so boxing is pretty much a dead sport it will still be around but it will be like other niche sports.

I dont know any kid who likes boxing, Id say like 5 percent youth watch boxing of kids who enjoy combat sports and the rest 95 percent like UFC.

Boxing is done its a wrap and that boring fight Mayweather vs Pacquiao killed it.

The UFC has damn-near bought every other organization out. Most organization's fighters strive to be in the UFC. Yes, Bellator has gotten some UFC fighters as of late with with "Mr. Wonderful" Phil Davis probably being the best of them. But essentially, if you own the UFC you control the MMA market for the most part. And the fact is, UFC can be bought. The're was a price tag for the UFC. I'm sure if someone wanted they could purchase all of the other promotions such as Rizin and Bellator.

Clearly you're not actively around boxing. It's easy to say if you're not around it. I promise you I can show you that boxing is alive and well if you were in my location.

You must live in another country

Boxing is dead in America man, the gyms are empty, UFC has gyms in the suburbs and rich white parents who let their kids wrestle let them do ufc.

Also blacks and Latinos are now into it, if you want to get into boxing you have to go to a dangerous barrior or hood for a gym, with UFC you can find a legit gym teaching jiujitsu in a nice suburb.

[brettWall]

Not entirely relevant, but what I find funny is there are still boxing fans who defend mismatches saying this so and so Haymon fighter needs a break. Then go on to pontificate about how dangerous the sport is thinking that they care about these fighters in general when it's clear they don't. They only care about the safety of the Haymon fighter and don't give a crap about the well-being of the Salka fighter who gets significantly less money and likely to get injured and disabled. Mismatches should be declared illegal by the commission and those who keep making them should get sued.

Boxing died for him when Manny lost to Mayweather.

As I mentioned, clearly you aren't around boxing.

Your same merit is that in which many were saying about soccer in the U.S. Yet, when the international champions league first started in the U.S., they sold out Michigan Stadium to only standing room capacity. That's over 109,000 seats. And soccer is rarely on american networks during a prime time.

The UFC's largest ever fan attendance was 55,724
at UFC 129 back in 2011. Canelo just sold over 52K to fight a guy in Liam Smith that probably 99% of the U.S. population doesn't even know about...

Explain that....i'll wait...

Ha. Not surprising there...
