Originally posted by Armchairhero View PostA real sport? Like where you have 4 or 5 champions at the same weight all refusing to fight each other, having a million pointless weightclasses with 4 or 5 “champions” . Boxing is dying a slow death... once the AJ/Fury Canelo etc are into the sunset it’s going to struggle big time unless big changes are made..
McGregor had to come over to boxing for a big payday and he wants to stay in boxing because UFC can’t offer him the kind of money boxing can.
Dana White is trying very hard to get into boxing. Why would he want to get into a “dying sport?” UFC 4 is going to feature Tyson Fury and Anthony Joshua. Why would they feature boxers in a UFC game if boxing is dying?
The best PPV numbers still belong to boxing.

Its slower paced than the stand up but much more technical and can actually be more physically draining.Last edited by b Murphington; 10-25-2020, 01:34 PM.

Mayweather hasn’t boxed in a meaningful boxing match in years, and boxing is still here and I would argue is on the way up.

The thing I find ironic about "Boxing is dying" "Boxing is dead"...
Why are boxers making more money now than ever before???
Elite level boxers are FAR FAR superiorly paid than mma fighters it is not even close or comparible and boxers careers generally are much longer and can cash in much more. The only billionaire fighter ever is Floyd Mayweather.
The young crop of boxing talent around the world imo is very very good. I don't mind at all if people like mma. I just look at Boxing and think damn the future content of this sport is going to be very very bright.
I think it is very important to understand how much money top level boxers make because the name of the sport is literally "Prize Fighting."

To play devils advocate though - remember when Canelo/Kovalev got delayed for an hour while a UFC fight was played on the big screens in the arena?

Justin sucks. He throws telegraphed punches that loop around half the solar system and back. He throws punches like my mate Dave clutching a kebab in one hand after a night of beer.
There just aren’t any elite fighters at LW other than him
