UFC events in the early morning? Another reason boxing is superior

[SBR Lou]

What a joke of a sport

[spankie]

Lou, the event was in China.

Did you want them to magically change the time zone?

[v1y]

klitchko fighting at 5pm = joke sport.

Don't let facts get in the way of a necessary thread, pal.

[spankie]

Both sports suck in many ways.

Lets agree to agree!

You are an administrator here? You should be embarrassed of yourself.

How did your boy Romney do?

[opie1988]

Boxing is for educated sports fans. Hence why its known as the "sweet science".

MMA/UFC is more of a white trash backyard brawl type of event.

[Rubber Guard]

The only people that vote republican are hickville southern trailer park trash. So I guess you fit in.

The guy is obviously half retarded. He doesn't understand this.

the sweet science has nothing to do with fans

[Chi_archie]

wasn't the Tyson vs Douglass fight in Japan

that was still viewed prime time in US wasn't it?

[Straight Cash]

Boxing is still around?

Lou, can we get "I support government sponsored free-loading" badges for these type of people?

[zoo youk]

Lou you have been making some pretty wacked out threads lately my friend. The Brooklyn Nets are for real and now this.

Lou boxing is beyond dead, it's buried 6 feet under, cremated and never coming back. the fact that UFC and even put on an event in china, have it air 9am on a saturday morning and have good ratings is telling in itself...

I was a big boxing fan back in the 1980's and even the 1990's. And I loved it back then. I also used to have dial-up internet... and I loved that back then as well. Boxing is like Dial-up.

As far as the fans being educated... this may have been true 20 or more years ago. I don't think it still holds true. Especially not when it comes to the fighters. The average Boxer's IQ has to be around 50 points lower than the average MMA fighter. Check out the clip below... one is a Boxer... one is an MMA fighter. The Boxer needs subtitles because he barely speaks English... keep in mind English is the only language that he knows. Btw... Randy Couture(the MMA fighter) beat James Toney's(the Boxer) ass without even breaking a sweat.

Hey fukkhead......where did I say the name "sweet science" had anything to do with the fans? I said "educated fans", which are who recognize that boxing is much more than simply phyisical brawling. A fan with an in-depth understanding of the sport recognizes that boxing is a craft involving every bit as much strategy and forethought as chess.

Now run along to Gaylive, son.

if you ask the general public to name 5 relevant boxers i bet you they couldn't name 2 (excluding pac and mayweather) if you ask them to name 10 ufc fighters id bet they could name 15 or more

[Chi_archie]

I'd love to see boxing get a couple legit heavyweights again and have some non corrupt big fights.

I miss the buzz a big pay per view event had

now the best fighters won't even get close to getting in the ring together anymore

its sad

[JoshB]

my ass they would. most people still call mma ultimate fighting.

and i don't know where you live, but here in california canelo and chavez jr are pretty popular.

You don't think trailer park southern trash use benefits? How do you think they survive? You got millions of southern idiots using government funded things...and voting republican.

You ever read the studies that republicans as a whole are less educated than Dems? It's true.

It's a laugh when republican boxing fans come in here and bash MMA. Goes in line with their prophets, Bill O'Reilly or Hannity. Question....Which is dying out quicker in this country? Boxing or the GOP?

[daimoshokage]

[Rubber Guard]

But let me guess? You guys bet on Romney at those odds because the idiots over at FOX News told you sheep it was close?

Don't lie.

[JoshB]

too slow rich

How does this follow logically at all?

If people called MMA "The sweetest of all sciences", what would that have to do with anything?

[JohnGalt2341]

I would argue that Boxing is more like Checkers. And I don't mean that as an insult. I'm just saying that the rules are fairly simple and there are very few ways to win. MMA is more like Chess. It's much more complicated and there are several different ways to win.

I remember seeing a good interview with Tyson a while back. He was talking about why boxing wasn't as popular anymore, and it basically came down to one thing. American champions. He talked about how good the Klitchko brothers were and that boxing wouldn't become popular again in America until there were some good, dominant, US heavyweights.

Things like the decision in the last Pacman fight don't do much to help the popularity of boxing lately. I'm a fan of both, but I definitely understand why MMA is winning the popularity contest presently.

They may be winning the popularity contest but they're not bringing in bigger PPV numbers. Big boxing event still runs circles around a big UFC contest in sales.

This is most definitely true but how many big events does Boxing have a year? 1? And how many big fights are on that card? 1? MMA has events every weekend. And if we are just talking about the UFC they have around a dozen good cards in a year. And the cards are often stacked from top to bottom. If the UFC only had 1 event a year they could pull in big numbers as well.

[SportsPedagogy]

If only Opie was introduced to Chael Sonnen. He would become the biggest MMA fan ever.

not even close... they have 2-3 good cards a year now and its been that way for years... they keep putting out shit card after shit card and its killing their ppv sales as well as the overall sports popularity...it reached its pinnacle a few years ago and has been falling since...

Why are boxing lines rarely posted in sbr book?

Yeah, one of the banned, broke-dick idiots had some fun with part of my face from a Bash pic. It's not actually real.
