Bob Arum on the UFC overtaking Boxing

[Juven]

MMA been around for 30 yrs. Shes popular than most boxer after many and pac

hopefully after this whack fight we will have more boxers transition to mma. The game needs it

And what has that done for MMA?

what does that say for boxing? That's kind of sad

 

[Box Cutta]

UFC is way too submission/hold friendly for my ass. I don't give a fukk about that shyt. Change rules so that ground based combat is diminished then talk to me.

 

[Sk3ptical]

UFC is overtaking boxing because boxings top athlete "fights" like a bytch.

while mayweather is making 180 mil for one fight

how much is ufc fighters getting

MMA is as popular as boxing.

But being a recognized name doesn't necessarily mean people are clamoring to pay for your fight.

It also doesn't change the fact that all MMA fighters are getting financially raped

I don't live in any other countries, but it seems popular in Brazil as well, and Asia is the originator of this stuff. Europe also has an influx of fighters coming

Edit: Also, I can't think of any Canadian boxers but I can think of a couple of Canadian MMA fighters (since you're from there)

 

[Doomsday]

The UFC reality show is more interesting than the actual events half the time.

 

[Rell84shots]

UFC struggles to get average ratings now, meanwhile boxing's ratings on network tv have steadily gone up.

 

[beanz]

UFC wont take over boxing because the average fan will never understand the grappling aspect. We talking about people who were mad at the mayweather fight because nobody got knocked out, dont watch baseball as much anymore, only want to see high scoring sports games and cant watch a slow setup episode of a show without labeling it wack lol.

Surely you jest...

The real comedy is that the face of MMA right now is a woman....................

 

[Lakers Offseason]

This will never overtake boxing

 

[Miggs]

This will never overtake boxing

Funniest thing about this shyt is one guy is introduced as a judo-jedi master and the other guy is a black belt in muay thai and kung fu,then as soon as the bell rings they get on the mat and start dry humping for 3 mins....I see way more judo watching Mister Miyagi and Mister Fuji...
