Have you watched any boxing lately? UFC shits on that dying breed of boxing
--- End quote ---
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
--- End quote ---
Jones vs Hopkins supposed to be a big fight is whats wrong with Boxing...All good tho stay in denial...Boxing sucks
--- End quote ---
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.
--- End quote ---
Im just trying to rile you up. I enjoy boxing, i just think MMA at this point is getting so strong, while boxing is struggling to stay above water
--- End quote ---
Im not saying that MMA isnt gaining steam. Its just hard for me to see it passing boxing by. Maybe for a short period of time they could get to that point...but Im looking at 10-20 yrs down the road. I just dont see it. Boxing will reload like always. Pacquiao and Mayweather are huge right now...there are other big draws...its just that those two are so enormous right now that they dwarf the other fighters. Its like the NBA when Michael retired. It suffered at first...because you lost someone who was bigger then sport at times. But the sport always survives...and eventually bounces back with new talent.
"THE" MoSav:
you cant compare Boxing dying to basketball..WAY TOO many stars in the NBA for it to die, no matter who retires..Boxing you may not be able to say that at this point. And Please dont ever compare MMA to Extreme Sports, 2 different worlds and MMA will last, and the more it lasts the more it will be accepted, its legal in almost every state now i think, thats a HUGE HUGE HUGE difference from 6-7 years ago..With TUF growing more and more and Better fighters everyday coming thru, MMA is still growing and will continue to grow..

Those other big draws you speak of dwarf in comparison to the UFC so they really don't matter. Pacquiao is barely enough to compete with the UFC, Mayweather is the only one in boxing today that can match and put up bigger numbers. UFC and MMA is here to stay, and it's only gettin bigger. Once Mayweather is gone boxing will be in a long drought, I'm not saying it's gonna die cuz I watch boxing and i'm still a fan and theres alot of talent out there but it's gonna take time to build up multiple superstars, and by then theres no telling how much the UFC will have grown and if boxing can still go head to head with them.

how does Pacquiao barely compete with UFC? lol Who is the largest star in UFC? Pacquiao will earn more fighting Mayweather then that fighter will earn in a lifetime of UFC events....shit, maybe even more from his fight with Cotto. From what Ive seen...he would make more off the Mayweather fight then then every fighter on a UFC events card combined lol If UFC is drawing what boxing draws...how come its fighters earn what boxers earned 20 yrs ago?
