Have you watched any boxing lately? UFC shits on that dying breed of boxing

of course I have. Im a huge boxing fan. Ive heard many takes on it...and I kind of agree with some....that UFC will be gone within a decade. I dunno, UFC is alright...but for one...its ridiculously boring IMO. I can appreciate the technique and skill...but when I watch UFC I find myself hoping for a KO and the KO's just arent anywhere near as dramatic as a KO in boxing. And Ive actually watched a good amount of MMA matches. But 80% of the matches are just two guys wrestling around with eachother...and of that 80%.....at least 50% of it is almost no action. Id watch a Pacquiao fight over any MMA match you could possible dream up. And Im sure most of the country agrees...seeing as how even Pacquiao vs Clottey could be held at the Dallas Cowboy stadium.

gsp vs anderson would attract more then any pacquiao fight..boxing sucks...its sad when you only have 2 names that get any interest from people at all...

GSP could fight Jesus and Pacquiao vs Mayweather would still put up better numbers LOL.
--- End quote ---
LOL. Exactly boxing has 2 guys that draw people! DYING BREED!!! What happens when these 2 are gone?WOOOOO!!!! BOXING IS DYING!! FACE THE FACTS!
--- End quote ---
Boxing has been around forever...once Mayweather and Pacquiao go...more up and comers will take over....its been that way since the beginning. Those are just the two biggest draws now....since De La Hoya is gone. UFC will have a difficult time crossing over the way boxing was able to do tho. UFC still mainly only appeals to a certain demographic....males between 18-30. And all the "bros" from the suburbs love the shit...cus they can finally watch other white guys fight lol. Boxing is dominated by Black/Hispanic fighters....so every white male who got tired of watching white boxers get destroyed....switched to UFC. Eventually, the makeup of the UFC will change....then what? lol

Jones vs Hopkins supposed to be a big fight is whats wrong with Boxing...All good tho stay in denial...Boxing sucks

I'm a huge boxing fan as well, but on the real, it's pretty clear that in America, Mixed Martial Arts has really started taking over in these past years. You're right, their main demographic is white males, but unfortunately that's the only demographic really needed for a sport to come on the rise.
Mayweather and Pacquiao will draw more than any MMA fight, but that's the one golden fight out of the whole ton going on (I expect Mayweather/Mosley to be a damn good fight too though). Boxing will still be slowly dying away. I don't think its 100% because of MMA though. I think it has more to do with everybody and their fuckin mamas creating a billion different promotions and stuffing their cards with absolute no-namers.

I always just find it comical when people think a sport like boxing will simply fade away lol. Youre right about the 18-30 yr old white male demographic being enough to help make a sport successful (in the meantime). However at some point MMA will need to cross over as boxing did. Boxing reached a level where young people, old people, men, women all watch it. It became similar to a Laker game where celebrities used matches as a social setting. UFC still mainly appeals to one group. My point was, that a lot of young to middle aged white males were pushed away from boxing due to their being such a huge lack in white boxers who were ever successful. Lets face it...people a lot of times will pull for their race. So they turned to MMA cus there are a lot of white fighters. What happens when the diversity in that sport changes? Cus it will eventually. Those same fans will move on. Martial Arts has been around forever...its just that Americans didnt think it was cool until two big beefy white guys roll around in a ring together trying to do it. I dont hate MMA, the sport itself...and the skill is legit. I just see it as somewhat of a fad...and eventually it will fade away. Whats the last NEW sport you were really into that lasted very long?

lol what does that have to do with anything? Thats a big fight only because of their celbrity status at this point. If Roy Jones signed with UFC...his very first match there would be a BIG fight.
