    UFC > Boxing when it comes to matchmaking

    In the UFC the fighters and promoters don't give a **** about losing their 0. Bottom line: the best face the best. In Boxing it's the complete opposite. Top fighters talk **** and challenge each other from a distance or through social media yet none of the top fights actually get made. It's sickening and makes it hard to be a Boxing fan!

      Dana White is in complete control of the UFC and he tell the fighters who they fight if i understand things. They do as he says or they are out of the UFC.He decides what they get paid and keeps most of the money. No promoter in boxing has that kind of power. If a boxer is not treated right he can go to another promoter and he decides if he will take a fight and for how much money. The top boxers make a hell of a lot more money than the UFC fights. It's true there is no ducking in the UFC. If White says you are fighting somebody then you are fighting him and that is that. But remember money attracts talent. If there was one guy like White in charge of boxing then boxers would make a hell of a lot less money so they might not even be pro boxers. It would not be worth it to risk injury or death. No UFC fighter make Canelo or AJ type money. It's the chance to make that kind of money that draws talented fighters to boxing.

        That’s why it has so many casual fans. They know the guys fighting are ranked within 1 or 2 spots of each other. No Champion vs #25 tune up like in boxing. Fury Wilder and Joshua would have all fought each other by now

          UFC makes the best matches for the UFC because they have a defacto monopoly. They pay their guys pennies on the dollar, use them up quick by throwing them in tough, and then its on to the next.

          Boxing promoters make the best matches for their fighters. They represent their fighters, because their business lives on dies on the continued success of their fighters. UFC, meanwhile, only has a minimal stake in who wins (they'd prefer the more popular fighters like McGregor and Rousey to win).

          Youre talking about apples and oranges, man.

                  We all knew that but when it involved two fairies dry humping one another on the canvas, ill pass. That sht is boring and the little gay terms you mma fans use makes me laugh. Figure Gay Triangle? Wtf is thAt i just love it when these mma jerkoffs use certain name for gay moves like it’s super special.

                  Imagine that boring prick Gracie vs another gracie like how dull is that?

                  Mma must provide the most competitive matchups because that’s the only way they stay stay afloat.

                  Maybe MMA has changed alot and i dont know what im talking about but just MMA in general is hella boring and rubbish to me.

                  1. Boxing
                  2. ITF Tae Kwon Do tournament full contact

                  Those are the best for striker fans.

                    No sh^t The UFC got 400ish fighters under their promotion & probably around 90% of the top ten in every division. With how worldwide boxing is idk if that would even be possible. Think Haymon has around 200 guys last I heard & he might be lucky to have 40% of the top ten from 147 to HW.
