So tell me again how the UFC isn't aligning itself with boxing

Tired of paying your hard-earned cash for events packed with hype and little else? Sick of sitting down for a pay-per-view event and finding out that you’re paying over $50 for just three fights that include a showcase and a mismatch? UFC 71: LIDDELL vs. JACKSON is the cure for what is ailing fight fans!

The lead in to the press release hyping up UFC71.

The sport that sells itself

 

Damn right....the UFC ain't shit and it never will be. I can't stand that Dana White "ohhh I used to be an amateur boxer I love boxing etc"...what a stooge.

I can't wait for an elite boxer to take on some of this riff-raff and just beat the shit out of them.

 

:::: DLH vs. Mayweathe was competitive MAIN EVENT...Liddell vs. Jackson II was a SHOWCASE and a MISMATCH all in one....:eeeek::laughing:

whats next Jackson vs. Liddell III..."this time it's for real"

 

oh pleaaaase... maybe this time u will get even odds at the bookies... :laughing: :laughing:

 

Yeah, all the while the UFC PPV's get worse and worse. At least in the beginning, the cards wer epacked. Now they are shit.

 

I'd love to see BJ Penn Jab the shit out of Matt Hughes some more, before running out of gas after 4 minutes and being grounded and pounded in the next "round".

The reason their rounds are so long is so that they can stand there and posture while they get their breath back and figure out complex take downs.

A half decent boxer would have taken them to pieces by that stage.



:flip: THE UFC

 

3 fights on the last PPV was a total of 118 minutes of action. They had 5 fights tonight 2 went the distance 15 minutes. 2 ended in round 1 and 1 ended in round 2. Thats like a total of around 40 minutes.

 

However sometimes short fights are better...esp. when Rocky Juarez is fighting...

 

Yeah sure. All im saying is boxing has less fights because the fights last longer. UFC would need a card with 20 fights to get the amount of fight time Boxing gets in 2 bouts.

 

I might be the minority but UFC looks better since the last time I've seen it. The last time I saw UFC was its humping day. Now, seem like they strike more. Boxing on the other hand, mandated havier goves, experimented with open scoring kind of moving backwords. I still rather watch boxing unless Rocky, Guinn, Rahem or spinks is fighting, but UFC not that bad.

 

I love MMA, but UFC is mainly shit with all those sucky PPV they put on ( and boxing suck too now btw ). Incredible how people say boxing should follow the UFC route, they already done it 20 years ago.

 

PPV results speak for themselves. You all wouldn't be crying so much if you didn't feel threatened. Its a fact.

 

You don't have to wait for an elite boxer to get in the cage. Butter Bean has moved to MMA and is whipin ass!!! Goto youtube.com and type Butter Bean MMA. He's stoping guys in Pride and in the cage with just clean punching. In one of the fights he even taps a guy!!!! :laughing: So they should continue to out law skilled fighters. Tonight Rampage prove Chuck is not a top skill striker. Just think if he would have taken the Tommy Morrison fight.

 

The UFC has gain alot of middle class fanboys over the last 2 years.....:dunno:

 

Bean is a joke in MMA. His fights are worked, just like they were in boxing FOR YEARS as he filled up PPV spots which could have gone to credible athletes.

You mention Butterbean as if its a slur on MMA. He made his name, his money and his career, in boxing.

 

It's a bit misleading to only point to ppv numbers when one sport is almost entirely shown on ppv, while the other isn't.

The UFC rarely has quality fights on free tv...because it doesn't have the depth of talent or recognizable competitors to do it and still draw a crowd and a television audience.

In contrast, the vast majority of boxing events are not on ppv.

If you're just going to selectively comparing the two, why not compare the annual live gate and attendance figures for all boxing events and MMA events both in the US and worldwide?

 

Get used to it, Spicamus, cos there will be a lot more coming in the next few years.

 

I would gladly compare the average number of fans in attendance in the states.

And on the subject of Jakes comment: how is this aligning WITH boxing? Seems to me they're doing the exact opposite here and using boxing's negative media representation and fan reaction and oppose themselves to it. An alternative.

Thats not what you do when you align yourself with another.

 

NOT if "the" Quinton Jackson keep dominating the billy bob..i mean the Chuck Liddell of the UFC...opcorn:...they might be more coming but not middle class midwest..

 

It's not the averages I'm talking about.

Nice try.

 

Ugh, why even bother. You stick to what you know and keep slagging off the competition every chance you get. You're not better than the scum you are fighting against.

Every thread on here HAS to have some jerk badmouthing the sport. Why? Don't like it, ignore it? Thats what the sport itself has chosen to do for so many years and look where its got them? Which way do you think the numbers are trending?

Yeah, you stick to your totals and nice figures right now. They won't be that way in 5 years time and with such a negative attitude towards it and a reluctance to adapt, you'll have nowhere to turn to when it finally happens.

Enjoy your ignorance, I'm watching the football.

 

Yeah, you do what you do best; introduce race into every argument. :shit:

 

It fits...look at the UFC crowd it usually...90-95 % what..? :shit:

 

UFC has been doing waht the WWF did back in the 80's buy off smaller companies, eliminating the competition and taking their biggest stars...it will have a run for a few years....then slow down. Tonight it might have taken a big hit their most popular fighter with teh newer fanboy fanbase got destroyed...

 

Badmouthing the sport?

Show me where I did anything of the sort.

You said the "PPV results speak for themselves. You all wouldn't be crying so much if you didn't feel threatened. Its a fact."

I simply responded by saying that it's a rather selective comparison.

Boxing is still a much bigger sport both nationally and worldwide, which is why there is still a far greater number of boxing events than MMA events.

The amount of people that go to boxing events is still far great than the number of people went to MMA events, and the same with the amount of money generated by the two.

But stick to the ppv numbers, because they're better for your argument.

 

You got asked about the fans in attendance IN THE WORLD

 

::

 

Liddell is a bum. Always said it, thank you. :cheer: :cheer:

 

Butterbean, older,fatter anda lot worse, is far more accomplished in MMA than in boxing, not even close.

 

Why all the hate for UFC?!??!

It is what it is. A sport different from boxing altogether. I was highly entertained tonight- I was at the fight. Its a different type of entertainment than boxing is. I enjoyed the DLH fight MUCH more because it feels like a sporting event. UFC feels mor eto me like a concert or performance.
