Teddy Atlas: UFC has passed you guys up[boxing]

Damn, Teddy "Turncoat" Atlas just betrayed boxing.

Bigger betrayal than Fabia on Diego.
 
Boxing is a mess. Despite taking jabs at it, I like watching boxinig from time to time but I also recognize that the sport has serious problems.

For one, as much as the UFC's quasi-monoply hurts fighter pay, it also helps the sports alot. We have de facto world champions. Yes, Bellator has a world light heavyweight championship but most people consider the UFC light heavyweight that championship the real Light Heavyweight champion of the worldt. It's not like that in boxing where you have (atleast) three different world champions in the same weight class.

Then you have this weird situation where you have regular champions and super champions. You have the same thing in MMA with interm champions but atleast in MMA, you have an interm champion because the real champion is hurt.

In boxing, you have a regular champion and a super champion both defending the same world title in the same weight division at the same time. How does that work? How is anyone suppose to understand that?

The other problem is that if you're a TV network or a game company or even an advertising firm, if you want to sign a deal with Conor Mcgregor and Jon Jones, all you need to do is buy the UFC license. It doesn't work like that in boxing. You have to sign each boxer to an individual deal and that's just not worth the effort when you can just buy the license to the UFC or Bellator.

The best thing can happen to boxing and the thing that Teddy wants is for boxing to be consolidated but PBC tried that and De La Hoya and Top Rank screwed it up. The business is just filled with greed and corruption.
 
Ufc is boring when you take out the few superstars
 
Im fairly sure Atlas might be UFC shill and on a payroll. He was comparing some random fight to Hagler vs Hearns. I mean hes saying some crazy shit.
He compared Sean O'Malley to fucking Naseem Hamed. He's truly unhinged and dangerous.
 
Teddy is smart, MMA is full of 'know it all Gurus', I mean you got guys like Robin Black making a career off the back of low IQ MMA fans, Ido 'touch butt' Portal and Joshua 'nice butt' Fabia. Teddy trying to get a slice of the pie, simples. Some of you worship Ariel because he asked some 'tough' questions and leaked UFC card info, go watch Brian Kenny roast PPV King at the time Floyd Mayweather.
 
Leave Teddy alone!

Also...hes wrong. I still prefer a slow boxing match over a good mma fight.
 
Very interesting what a few dollaroos from ole Mr. White can do to a man as unscrupulous as Teddy Atlas!


Dishonest Teddy is bitter. If Teddy Atlas was truly being honest he would be praising Espinoza for the wonderful schedule they have put out. If you’re a hardcore, you know how solid it is with the depth.

Teddy Atlas’s opinion hasn’t been valid in boxing for YEARS. Take any word from him with a grain of salt.
 
Teddy is venting the issues boxing has since forever (just look at Wilder's arbitration against fury). the UFC hasn't IMO surpassed boxing. when the dust settles between Wilder, Fury, AJ and Usyk, the next match up for all of the belts will be bigger than any UFC ppv in the year.
 
There is plenty of room for both Boxing and MMA,both great sports. I love to see a guy battle through getting back to their feet after being dropped and being hit,but also to see a guy get knocked down really bad and watch them suck it up during the 8 count and continue to do battle. They are different and I love them both.
