Comments Thread For: Bob Arum: The UFC is The Main Enemy of Boxing

[Reloaded]

Agreed

To much marinating and too many belts

Boxing would be a lot better if there was one belt in each weight . The best would have to fight the best to get to the number one spot

Not a UFC fan but the way they match make is a better system imo

Network politics and the egos involved pizz me off too.

Other than that I still love the sport

UFC is run by one unit, Boxing is run by many and that's where the problems start, the moment fighters and promoters can be free agents where its a biding war for the highest dollar you have an entirely different playing field.

UFC fighters will never get the money that the elite boxers get because of the reasons mentioned, imagine the NFL where they could negotiate who plays who it wouldn't work.

Boxing greats will always capture the hearts of nations because of its noble history, Ive heard it said its dying for over 50 years and its still here and its best are still the highest paid athletes in sport that become legends, there is a tradition in boxing that's untouchable, its great champions are like Gods and I don't think that will ever change.

LOL Bob Arum is a Hillary supporter! Boxing has never been big overall in america. You'd have a star here and there but casuals only want to see knockouts and brawls. Boxing need big drama show. WWE stunts and more circus shows would draw in casual fans.

I'll say it straight out — the fans of the UFC are Donald Trump supporters. The fans of boxing support Hillary [Clinton], Bernie [Sanders], and maybe John Kasich, so there's a difference,” Arum said.

Time to roll ol Bob to the nursing home. He should read the lounge

Hopefully age will take this **** out soon. We don't need an old **** like this promoting boxing or sharing his political views. This fat slob needs to find another hobbie like badminton or lawn bowls instead of an elite combat sport like boxing.

LOL I don't agree with you or bob often but I definitely do on this one. Pavlik would've been a massive draw in UFC.

Side note I wish I was on this site when bhop beat him that must've been a golden night.

while i agree the base for boxing is ********** and the base for mma is mostly white to say boxing has no trump supporters or visa versa is kinda ridiculous.
