iS BOXING FINISHED????????

[idac123]

with UFC taking over boxing seems to be pretty much over. The biggest boxing fight of the year was a snooz fest. Boxers will be trying to get into the UFC as soon as they realize their sport in finished and when they realize that it takes way more skill for MMA it will be really over.

the sport is finished but not the practice people will still go to their boxing gyms because boxing is an excellent form of conditioning and self defence on the streets but the sport died out due to ufc and yes many boxing champs went to the mma and got their ass kicked when they found it is alot mor than standup competion becuase a boxer on his back is like turtle boxing is still popular but not as strong as it once was it will never be as strong as it was 20 years ago because there is no big fighters that attract huge crowds like the mma does

[IdealistDreamerRealist]

No, not yet. It just needs a savior - someone with the talent and charisma of an Ali or a Ray Leonard who'll make the sport alive again. Also, boxing must be rid of greedy and self-serving promoters like Don King who always try to manipulate the whole fight game.

why talk about boxing when you obviously don't watch it you say the biggest boxing fight of the year was a snooze fest what fight would that be then maybe it was the Manny Pac Man vs Marquez ll or maybe it was Marquez vs. Vasquez III listen boxing will never be finished and as for the ufc taking over don't make me laughdon't get me wrong i like watching the ufc and yes a boxer would probably get owned if he went into the ufc just like a mma guy would get owned if he went into boxing come back when you know what your talking about

SOME PEOPLE LIKE MMA MORE BUT FIGHTERS STILL EARN BIGGER PAY DAYS

[idealhousewife]

So which MMA fighter can make 20 million dollars a fight again? Oh sorry I guess that would be none. Damn for a dying sport boxers sure do rake in the money.

Boxing and UFC are like apple and orange. I enjoy both and boxers still make more money at the top than MMA.

No. Boxing has been around longer then any other sport, It brings in millions of millions of millions of billions of dollars to the ppv market, it brings record number packed stadiums it makes alot of very powerful people very very weather, there would be a blood bath war if someone tried to sink boxing.UFC has been around a couple of days in comparison and is already starting to stale, with quick stoppages, horrible fights, and all their big stars losing. Also UFC is not a sport, its a tv show and sometimes PPV event like wwe. Mixed Martial arts is a sport, UFC is like circus with a roster of fighters much like wwe. Boxing also always goes through stale area's where you get a few good fights, and a couple mega fights. Then a fighter comes along and blows everyone away and the sport gets rejuvenated again. Plus we still have some of the best fighters of all time still fighting each other, with new legends taking their place. The only thing hurting boxing is the fact they dont let you see alot of big fights for free so its hard to bring a new audience, if they start to get in trouble they will bring boxing back to nbc, cbs and repeat the process.You want to see an up coming heavyweight who looks like he might run through the division check out David Rodriguez he has all the tools.
