UFC killing boxing and taking all the remaining fans

[TheBoxGod]

lol this old conversation, Boxing is here to stay it the superior sport; more fans; more money; more talent; more interest;

PLUS you cant ever trust those numbers, UFC is not a publicly traded company so they do not have to reveal their real numbers at all. The network boxing host it shows on are, so they do. Reason why Dana White got so mad and upset with Stephen Espinoza because Episonza released the numbers for Mayweather vs McGregor when Dana was trying to lie about it doing way better than the already great numbers it did.

Yup

Dana has been known to inflate there PPV numbers a lot.

The only one of those that can be said with confidence at this point is that boxings talent pool is still bigger.

Its got a larger talent pool, but I bet the gap has narrowed massively over the last 15 years and probably continues to close.

Pretty much. I still prefer boxing as a sport, but the ufc has done it right.

Same. I consider myself a casual MMA fan & a hardcore boxing fan. So I enjoy boxing more. I've always found all combat sports entertaining doe.

I just wish boxing worked more like the UFC outside the ring. That's my biggest pet peeve with boxing, it's great in the ring & southern fried sh^t outside the ring.

I look across boxing and see 5-7 genuine world class fighters/talent.

Across the sport.

There's 3 genuine stars.

I mean, it's slim pickings.

If Eddie Hearn gets his way it will. He looks to Dana like a god for what's he's done in MMA. He wants to be the one to do that for boxing.

It’s probably a case of nostalgia, but I feel like the majority of good fights I wanted to see, used to happen. Basically from the late 90s to late 2000s was my favourite period for boxing. Honestly, I’ve never been less of a fan than I am right now.

This is more common than you might think. As we get older, we get tired of all the bs belts, orgs, belts, belt dumps, avoiding because so and so doesn’t have a name. The sport screws itself.
