Proof MMA fighters way more intelligent than Boxers

[////]

How do you explain the income gap?

The so called more intelligent MMA guys get paid far less...far less than their so called less educated boxing counterparts.

They can't be too smart, if they are taking kicks and punches to the head for comparatively peanuts.

Maybe 0.1% of pro boxers are making that big money. The majority fight basically for free or are indebted to their promoters.

MMA has guys like Conor who are making tens of millions but they also have big roster of guys who are making middle class livings off of it. Boxing has nothing like that. You are either bankrupt or a Wladimir/Floyd/Manny. There is pretty much nothing in between.

Your argument is flawed anyway. I mean the average NBA player probably makes more than the average electrical engineer. Do you think the average NBA player is even intelligent enough to manage a Burger King?

The most rampant bigots here are not even white...they are usually 2nd generation immigrants with a chip on their shoulders/insecurities about Blacks and a LOT to learn about America.

My guess is the OP and Headshots are mexican.

Hectari and Lubai(whatever his name is) are bitter Pinoys.

The haters from Great Britain are P*kistanis.

They are just non-White...White supremacists.

LOL you lost all credibility when you said im a Bitter pinoy, you suck man you can't even assume properly your theories are all wrong. smh

I don't know how anyone can attempt to argue that UFC fighters make more than boxers, it's not up for debate.

The average Haymon probably guy makes double what your average UFC card headliner does per fight. Whether that is profitable or not is besides the point.

How many of the UFC guys even get PPV backend? As far as I know most of them don't. There's a reason why you frequently hear about ex fighters complaining about the wage structure of the UFC.

Also let's not forget UFC is not MMA, there's Bellator and strike force where guys are paid even less than the UFC.

They are so intelligent they all have mutilated ears badly in need of surgery and they make less than a tenth as much money per fight as good boxers do.

That goes double for the MMA guys with all their superior intellect.

Guys like Conor..

That's one man...singular...name all these guys making 10s of millions getting kicked in the head.

Don't name just one.

That's what you are lil fella'.

How much money you make doing a job has nothing to do with your overall intelligence. The best paying jobs almost never require the most intellect.

This is a joke right? I'm guessing you've never heard of Sherdog? Quite possibly one of the most frequented forums on the internet...

MMA is a lot bigger than boxing in 2016 as a whole. As someone who loves boxing and loves MMA it's pretty ****ing easy to see that MMA has become more mainstream, particularly the UFC brand itself.

Go ask 10 random people who Conor McGregor is. You may get 2-3 people who know. Ask 10 people who Mayweather or Pacquiao is and you're going to get 10 out of 10 who know.

I know of sherdog. Why aren't the MMA guys on this forum who keep claiming boxing is losing out to the UFC posting there?

MMA has a stagnant fan base. It's going to get no bigger than where it's at now. The company was just bought and they're laying off a ton of people.

The UFC's largest attendance record was for 55,000+ at UFC 129 in 2011. Canelo just had 52,000+ attend an the Liam Smith fight and likely 99.9% of the US doesn't know who Liam Smith is.

You're going to have to show me some facts that prove MMA is more popular than boxing.

Mayweather and Pacquiao's fight is the richest fight in history. The MGM grand only hold 17,000+. The UFC on it's best day can't touch boxing. I bet the entire UFC 2015 show schedule didn't add up to what was made in the Mayweather vs Pacquiao fight.

You UFC fans just waaaaannnnttt your sport to be number one when realistically it's just a middling sport.

I provide facts. You UFC fanboys are coming with measly opinions.

The majority of these guys have second and third jobs. The UFC signed the reebok deal and it took away their sponsors so almost the majority of the company was complaining.

Conor's best purse for one fight was about a million bucks and the MMA people brag on that. He doesn't make tens of millions a year from fighting. Mayweather made more in one fight than Conor could make in ten careers. Maybe the average MMA fighter is more intelligent than the average boxer. So what? Why is it so important to you to prove this? These are combat sports and I watch them to admire their fighting skills, not their intelligence.
