MMA overtaken Boxing 100%

[pwforgotlolol]

Boxer are free to fight in the ufc using their whole skillset, people aren't dumb they understand that the baddest best fighters are in the cage and that boxing is limited. Before in the 80s 90s people saw boxers and shaolin monks as the best fighters in the world

cross training is nothing new: Jack dempsey was one of the first real mixed martials Artists.

Codys style is 95% boxing.

The baddest fighters are Lethwei fighters nopt some pillow fisted boxers + or gay cage wrestling.

But boxers have been thrown big money way before DAZN.

Only to the top guys lately

 

[KingBeef]

He's not a top fighter tho

That's what they're building him up to be though.

When you have the number 1 boxer in the world Canelo changing his fights date due to UFC Nate vs Masvidal (two guys with 20+ losses combined) you know that MMA has officially overtaken boxing. Trump didnt go to watch Canelo, Deontay or others..

This point was brought to my attention by an interview of Frank Mir.

Yes top boxers make more than top MMA fighters at the moment. Will they still make more in a few years? or a decade?
In boxing its either making everything or making nothing. In mma is more balanced.

Anyway MMA fighters pay is constantly going up. MMA as a whole is moving up way quicker than boxing tbh.

I wouldn’t say 100% but it was way smarter move by them to cancel. Why fight same night as some ufc Major ppv drawers are. Hint, hint upper level boxer are way smart when it comes to their money unlike most of ufc upper fighters.

Upper paid boxer don’t have big names on their card most of the time. Ufc needs 4 big names to sell a ppv, in return ufc fighters get shit pay.

Wrestlers/Grapplers have always been the best fighters not strikers.

I love when a pillow fisted cage wrestler make some heavy handed striker his bitch.

Boxing is not big in Europe?

Good lord dude

MMA is way bigger everyone and they just started in the 90s. Literally every UFC average card is doing more PPV than Boxing super cards.

Khabib vs Iaquinta 350k

Fury vs Wilder 300k

MMA is the PRESENT + the FUTURE. Boxing been dying for years. Only a moron wouldnt recognize a sinking ship.

 

[RNC555]

Lmao this may be the dumbest post in sherdog history.

How come? UFC is growing rapidly. Why is that out of the question? UFC is getting at least a couple of cards at 1 mil+ PPV per year on yearly basis. On average UFC cards are clocking more PPV than Top boxing cards.

Why is that so dumb to consider in a decade or so? UFC is already twice as popular as boxing.

Khabib iaquinta 350k
Fury wilder 300k.

 

[RNC555]

I heard this before like 10 years ago no joke.

And it happened. MMA is bigger than boxing.

Canelo vs Kovalev had to wait for Nate vs Jorge to be over so they can fight. Lmfao, biggest star in all of boxing is waiting for 2 guys with 10+ losses each to finish so he can start.

 

[RNC555]

hahahahahahahahahahahahaha. Wilder would kill khabib with one punch. KILL

James Toney style. 1 Low single leg and wilder would look like a fish out of the water.

Khabib would maul him like a gamebred pitbull mauls a sheep.

dude thats bullshit and you know it. you talk about a 70 year old former pro boxer with cte. Wilder is a prime HW-Champ who would murder khabib in 1 second. hell he is so athletic, khabib wouldnt even be able to catch him if Wilder wasnt allowed to throw punches.

Twice as popular as boxing and you talk about 1 card getting 50k more buys lmao what?

Why aren't you bring the numerous boxers who got over a million in 2018?

Im talking about an average card doing more PPV than a top tier boxing card.

IM pretty positive Khabib vs Tony would sell more ppv than any two boxers fighting atm. Let alone GSP vs Khabib or Conor vs Khabib or Conor vs GSP etc..

The top biggest names in MMA would sell more than the top biggest names in boxing.

The average cards in MMA sell more than the average cards in boxing.

The small cards in MMA sell more than the small cards in boxing.

MMA is more popular and boxing fans have their top tier fighters pay as a mean to convince themselves it isnt a dying sport. most boxers make pennies.

UFC not MMA.

UFC is popular, but not MMA.

 

[RNC555]

UFC not MMA.

UFC is popular, but not MMA.

UFC IS MMA and MMA is UFC. MMA is more popular than boxing atm even though its MUCH younger sport.

Only so much running you can do in a cage. Wilder wouldnt land a glove. probably taps after getting takendown thinking the fight is over LOL.

Now put wilder vs Romero, Jones and others... He taps before the fight starts.

What would be a good measure?
I pulled up Google trends for the weekend comparing Canelo vs UFC 244 and saw this

Boxing fans will stop at nothing to convince themselves it's not dying.
