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

Lou, the event was in China.
Did you want them to magically change the time zone?

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.Points Awarded:

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. Originally Posted by opie1988

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.

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

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

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. Originally Posted by Straight Cash

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?

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. Originally Posted by opie1988

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. Originally Posted by Gruntworker

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. Originally Posted by SBR Lou
