that's so ten years ago.I thought boxing was dying and MMA was taking over?

I wonder if they will create a UFC belt.
I think the company UFC sold to are connected to Al Haymon and that's one of the reasons why the Floyd vs Conor fight was made so easily.
So will this just be the usual boxing in a ring with boxing gloves or boxing in a cage with MMA gloves? The latter would be the smarter choice IMO because its something different and unique to the fight world which will gain a lot of attention. If you're a big promotion like UFC why try and be like every other boxing promotion?
I'd prefer if the UFC did kickboxing fights in a cage with MMA gloves. That way you could match up boxers, kickboxers and mma fighters together with it being somewhat competitive. Kickboxing is huge in China, Japan and Europe at the moment.
I once cornered a guy for an unlicensed boxing match in a cage, on some crappy low rent MMA card in Eastbourne, it was shit
But why tho? UFC promoting boxing doesn't effect your life in the slightest. If anything it provides you with MORE boxing fights to watch. One of the things I like about the UFC is the fact that you cant really duck fighters. There's none of that BS business sh*t so many boxers do now days. The best fight the best not long after there's demand for it. If AJ and Wilder were UFC heavyweights they would of fought by now. Fighters teams wouldn't be negotiating the split and wouldn't be able to use that shit as an excuse to not fight each other.I for one will boycott 100%
It's like Burger King selling steak all of a sudden. Fuck that.
If boxers have way less say in money and who and where they fight then I can't imagine why top boxers would want to sign with them.But why tho?

Ok ok...sheesh...
This is just further proof that boxing has gone way south...the fact that it needs dana white to save it is just further proof of this..
Boxing was destined to die...its only one facet of combat fighting, it's just so fucking stupid...
It's the equivalent of telling basketball players, "ok, no more 3 pointers. Only lay ups"
If you don't believe me just look at the ppv ratings this year....every ppv card with the exception of conor vs gayweather was a complete failure.
And conor is an mma fighter...
Boxing just fucking sucks. The mods should shut down this gay ass forum.
Fuck boxing.
They should do mixed events and show capoeira some love. Maybe get some arm wrestling on the card. Main event could be who can lift the most with their ding dong.
