Boxing fans who do not like MMA; what are your reasons?

[sentax]

The Mayweather/McGregor fight brought out the worst in a lot of fans of boxing and MMA, as the two 'sides' slinged insults at one another and their respective sports, rather than engaging in mature debate and discussion.

If you're a boxing fan and you do not like MMA, what are your reasons? I'm not trying to change or challenge anybody's opinion, I'm just interested to know your thoughts.

I'm a fan of both personally. Historically thou MMA is thousands of years old (pankration is basically the precursor).

I think its more of a boxing fans feel threatened by MMA as it become mainstream and MMA fan's feel disrespected by Boxing fans.

Im not a fan of ground fighting but I still watch MMA. Watching the Jones-Gus fight right now. Its really the ground game that im not a big fan of.

I used to dislike ufc, but over the last 3 years it’s really grown on me.. I like the way it’s structured, generally the champion is always fighting the number 1 contender, only 1 major promoter, wish boxing had ufc structure, wish ufc fighters got boxers pay

Why would I wanna see 2 dudes in tights lay on the ground together?

Right. my biggest frustration is how any non star is treated in ufc. Get such a tiny cut of the pie. But it’s a young sport compared to boxing. Too many ways to win and lose in mma though, hard to quantify records or build a superstar. U had to watch to see if Floyd would lose. Almost everyone’s got losses in mma. It’s more like a never ending tournament. I’ve seen fighter lose a million dollars just on the scale in boxing. Put that into perspective.
