Are you worried that UFC will overtake boxing?

[QueensburyRules]

With no boxing planned for the foreseeable future, at least another few months of no boxing, this gives UFC a free shot at showing their fights and promotion to all fighting fans.

And with boxing fans desperate for any fighting action they will definitely be tuning into the ufc and if they like it they could end up switching to the ufc for life.

Dana sees an opportunity and is pouncing on it. Dana is ruthless.

Boxing needs to WAKE UP and realise what Dana and the ufc are doing, stealing fans of boxing.

- -Old news!

Old boxing fans won't be around much longer to prop it up. UFC provides real fights, not run and stink boxing fare.

Define overtake, it seems people here have different opinions on what you mean....going by responses anyway.

[Cortez]

dont forget the only reason UFC is doing well is because of boxing.

I remember the old UFC before Dan took it over.

Nobody cared !!

What did Dana do ? literally just copied boxing:

Timed rounds

Weight classes and their names

Ten second clap before end of round

buffers brother

las vegas

P4P

and pretty much everything else


I even heard that idiot Chael Sonnel call the UFC Heavyweight title the-> "richest prize in sports"

which of course the HW title in boxing was known as a long time ago , whereas nobody knows the UFC heavyweight champion or ever did, cept maybe brock

lol

Not a UFC fan but I will be watching this weekend.
Mostly outta respect for Dana White for having the balls to put on these fights.
While you have Arum trashing him instead of trying to get his fighters fights so they can feed their families.

Anybody try to come at me with this " it's irresponsible and dangerous to throw fights in this situation ".
Cry me a F**ken river.
Save that shet for someone who cares.

What do you mean overtake boxing? It already HAS taken over boxing in the states. Did you not see the type of deal UFC got with ESPN?

Yes and no. UFC has taken over boxing in the small scale but get a big event like fury vs Joshua
Canelo vs GGG (yes even the trilogy)
And boxing will always be number one

I’m totally into UFC now over boxing I’m stoked for this weekend Tony is from here in da nard!!!!

Make McGregor vs Khabib 2 and that beats Canelo vs GGG trilogy easily. Just look at how many buys the first PPV did. UFC is more popular than boxing statewide and that's not debatable.

Maybe
UFC had bugger names
Alll of boxing is to scared to take risks to make any new names

About as worried as I’d be of Dan Rafael beating me in a 100m sprint.

Dana White lies about the numbers, they window dress them. He tried to claim Mayweather V McGregor did 6.5 million buys based on some bullchit.

Conor is there only big draw. S’pose you could say the same about Nelo. What is it about these gingers?
