UFC and Soccer... UFC has replaced boxing and it's here to stay

[Bend NvR Break]

1. UFC will never be on the same level as soccer. It will probably never get as big as football, baseball, or basketball either.

2. Boxers make millions. Mma fighters thousands.

3. Comparing the entire UFC to Mayweather isn't a knock on Mayweather; it's a testament to how great he is as a fighter and businessman.

When there's no diversity, people will go for whatever to satiate their need for entertainment. Panem et circenses, filium meum.

Low test folks of the future will have even better alternatives blah blah blah

 

[tramendous]

real madrid team alone is worth 3.6 billion.

 

[awymore]

There's no way the UFC could get bigger than soccer if for no other reason than moms. No mom is going to tell her kids they can't play or watch soccer. There's a good percentage of moms that would never let their kids watch or participate in MMA.

 

[KlLLEmAll]

Just face it gentlemen.

We are a very stange small percentage of the population that enjoys watching people beat the piss out of eachother.

It's never going to be soccer, Dana believes in his baby and talks too much.

 

[Paradigm]

This is so fucking retarded I had to sign in and post. They are two different fucking sports.


MJ failed at baseball so he went to the NBA. Let that sink in.

 

[FrancisBergoglio]

Still not even close to football (yes, football) and will probably never be.

Probably ? Never gonna happen.

 

[ortizgnp]

Probably ? Never gonna happen.

I was being nice and you're being a dick

[Hoof Hearted]

Football is the most popular sport in the world. MMA will never get close to its popularity.

 

[TheScorpionDude]

Football.

You fuckers stole rugby - the most violent sport, and combined it with the name of football - the most popular sport, and created an abomination where people hit each other with equipment.

 

[MadVibez]

Looks another circle jerk between all the "Football" lames

Nobody in america you know the best country in the entire world cares about your shitty sport

LOL @ the most popular sport in the world. Yeah in the third world lmfao

Lol Sarcasm or Delusional

 

[danny23]

Boxing is still,much more popular than MMA in Europe.
Sports like Basketball,Judo and Tennis are also more popular than MMA.
And nothing compares to football.

Well, to be fair...it's the equipment that allows for more damage potential.

I mean...why don't boxers fight barehanded anymore???

 

[KOskater]

oh how they laughed at Dana for comparing the sport to soccer all those years ago... me too tbh but not so funny anymore aye? what a time to be alive






4 billion dollars is anywhere from 10-20 Floyd Mayweathers and 8 Mayweather/Pacquaios

One soccer franchise/team or football team is worth more than the entire UFC sale.

Mayweather by himself is worth almost as much as the entire
UFC.

When a fighter comes along and makes in the 100s of millions, then it'll replace boxing.

Until then there's been no superstars in MMA even close to boxing. Everybody knows Pacman, Tyson and Floyd.

Your grandma knows them... nobody knows Conor except 14-36 year old males.

It's a niche sports. Comparing it to FIFA is ridiculous. FIFA is richer than most countries.

Hardly a comparison. Gloves are similar to mouth guards, nfl equipment is like putting plastic spikes on the gloves.

No way, football is way more brutal.

They tackle differently in football and yes with a bulletproof helmet it hurts a lot more.

Rugby they take them down easier. I forget the rules but they charge and pull them down different. They also do that group holding move thing which is slower and safer.

Boxers fight with gloves so they don't break their hands on shit...it's not to protect the guy getting punched.

[wilKO]

Ronaldo makes $4 billion getting our of bed every morning. Don't compare a sport with C level athletes fighting for $2500 sponsorship money to football.

What did I just say ?
