BOXING is DEAD! UFC killed it....

I prefer to think that BOTH boxing as well as MMA has it's own function in the world of fighting. While boxing goes through it's lulls from decade to decade, now, with the addition of UFC and Pride and very soon a new show too, MMA can fill a void in a time when Boxing is at a lull in some divisions.
That said, the sport of Boxing will not die out, it is a proven, time tested winner and if you ask 100 people who the most famous "Boxer" of all time is - all 100 people will have an answer. However if you ask the same 100 people who the most famous "MMA" fighter of all time is, chances are fewer than 20% will even have an answer at all. MMA has a LONG WAY TO GO before it is even in the ballpark with name recognition or worldwide interest in it's participants compared to Boxing...Comment

I am sorry to say guys but id like to believe you...but one must not be in denial...the sad truth is boxing is a sport filled with **********...and ufc is filled with white americans and they speak english...and america is what 200 something million white people? what do you think they would rather watch?
something they can relate to right?
its the harsh reality
Being a part of this sport not just yapping aout it on the internet I will tell you "though I regret having to" From the governing bodies an officials to the fans Boxing is predominatley white. Ass hole. Which I as a white man regret the competition and contributions to the sport need to be diversified. You also need to look at the bigger picture. Who in europe cares about MMA? Boxings birthplace and a stronghold for centuries. I doubt MMA would compete even in Japan Dollar for Dollar. You are claiming a fad will take over a traditional dynasty as far as combative athletics is concerned. WTF you must be from Orange county trendy lil bastard. And you want to throw race into the scenario?? slap yourselfComment

Everywhere I go I see these white boys with there tap out shirts and talking about how they can ground and pound an wrestle a guy....i never seen fight sports so popular i was one of the few watching BOXING and older ufc....but it seems UFC crushed boxing becuase all these wanna be tough frat boys now walking around in the mall talking about it...
and the ratings prove it...
I like mma and boxing but BOXING is dead....
Its all the greedy promoters faults....they are dumb they could of made more money showing free fights 2 times a month on a regular station like ABC, NBC, CBS etc....but they want that quick fix from a ppv.
its lame.Comment
