All this hype for 2 minutes of light sparring that left 1 guy crumpled on the mat.

There are no good heavyweight boxers at the moment (tyson, holyfield, lewis...) that's why nobody watches it.

Brock was a marketing thing. He wasn't a fighter by nature.

boxing at it's best is better than MMA at it's best.

I can't think of one MMA fight worth remembering, where there are classic boxing matches that we can still watch with awe, like the Ali-Frazier I & III fights.

Bull - boxing is so messed up in the last 10 years, no one cares about it.

Great MMA fights all the time, but then here comes Lesnar vs. Overeem, which truly was pathetic. Terrible fight. But I can think of a few boxing fights that were even worse.

If no one cares about it ,where the money come from to pay FMW ,Pac ,Klitchskos bros ... $ 20- 30 mill a fight

UFC 137 draws 280,000 pay-per-view
UFC 136 225,000

FMW vs Ortiz , 1.3 million buys.

Those are USA PPV buyrates. Not including world wide viewership.

Before PPV and Close Circuit TV boxing matches were televised on free TV and radio. Big difference between free and PPV.

I'm one of the biggest boxing fans on this forum, but I don't hate on MMA because it's not boxing. UFC events are better than boxing events IMO because UFC events have good undercards.

Stop being an ignorant tool.

I could say boxing is garbage compared to MAX, but I know they're different sports and respect the skill involved.
