What happens if you add 'MMA' into the mix?

 

[Hi-Tech]

Who the fuck searches "boxing" though? Everyone knows what the fuck boxing is.

We are comparing apples and oranges here because UFC and WWE are organizations while boxing is a sport.

That wouldn't really be right imo. The UFC is to MMA what the WWE is to pro wrestling.

Boxing will die when my dads generation dies. No one watches that half fighting that I know and I'm Mexican. Just old men.

It looks like a bunch of people do when there are big fights judging by the charts I provided. When people want to know what is going on they will Google "Boxing News" or "HBO Boxing" "Showtime Championship Boxing"... Etc. They sure as hell don't Google WBA or IBF.

I didn't realize MMA caught on in Mexico like it has. The crowd was great during last Fight Night card in Mexico they really new what was going on and didn't boo when the fight hit the ground, and seemed really passionate about their home town fighters.

According to Google Trends it has passed up Boxing there as well. For the record I watch boxing, but for the most part I find that MMA cards usually deliver a little better.

Yeah but boxing mostly revolves around their top stars, I'm pretty sure a lot of people just google Klitschko or Floyd Mayweather.

Just like in football people google Real Madrid, Messi, Ibrahimovic, Barcelona...

I am not a WWE fan but they seem pretty consistent, good for them. Boxing is ALL about the big fights though, so you would probably get better results with the big names which is what people search for. The UFC still has a strong brand but lately it is becoming all about the big names just like in boxing. Try something like Mayweather vs. McGregor vs. The Rock? (I have no clue who are the active ones) or maybe Pacquiao vs. Rousey vs. ???

 

[Sharkey]

Boxing is an English term. UFC and WWE are both universal terms.

The same could be said for the UFC then too. People could Google Conor McGregor or Ronda Rousey. When people want to find out what's going on in boxing world they are going to be including the word Boxing in their Google search.

 

[Sharkey]

Depending on what part of the world you live in and what language you speak, boxing is called boxing, boxe, boxeo, boxen, and a whole bunch of other spellings depending on the above things.

[BAM]

it's because WWE has made twitter a huge part of the advertising, they'll have twitter updates through all their programming, their websites and everyone they have on contract has to tweet.

 

[Rum]

This is silliness.

I am in full support.
