lol MMA will be gone within 10 yrs lol

The fanbase is so limited compared to boxing.

Boxing= NFL
MMA= World League

Boxing is just going through a cycle. It's lacking star power. New stars will eventually come out the woodwork.

MMA has no star power. Just a few familiar names.

i disagree. while boxers might have more finely tuned striking skill set mma fighters have still been doing there chosen fighting syle for as long and with as much determination. i think the diversity in mma is a lot more appealing. more techniques and disciplines = more unpredictable fights.

i think mma will still be here in 10 years and going strong. The only thing that beats it in PPv buys is Wrestlemania. that has more to do with less stars in boxing as sikotic said.

the difference in the sports was evident in the cotto fight at the weekend. the two fighters got tied up and cotto pushed him to the ground and the fight had to be stopped for some time so he could recover from a push.

while the UFC seems a very dangerous and seems more brutal. Boxing does a lot more damage to the fighters.

Boxing has too many weight classes and too many titiles and i believe it is making the casual fan become more distant with the sport.

Ricky hatton has also said before that Boxing should be run more like the ufc
