And it has absolutely nothing to do with which sport is better, what people think is more exciting, which has more skill, etc!
The difference is in how they are run! The boxing elite are constantly feeding us loyal boxing fans SHIT and expecting us to pay for it and ask for seconds!
The UFC put on a magnificent card, which included 3 TITLE FIGHTS where two champions fought the absolute #1 contender, and the main event in which one champion moved up in weight and took the belt off another champion! The rest of the fights were evenly matched bouts that had some kind of significance (determining the #1 contender, etc). They made the fights people wanted to see!
Then we have the big boxing promotions that continue to make fights nobody cares about! Manny fighting Jesse Vargas, a no-risk fight that NOBODY asked for. And last night you have Danny Garcia fighting another overmatched, 0% risk fighter!
Danny Garcia is supposed to be one of boxing's brightest young stars... and he hasn't had a real fight in over 3 years!! Every fight he's had since Matthysse has been a tune-up! It's unbelievable!
Boxing needs to get it's act together. I love boxing but these guys continue to ruin the sport by not making the fights that fans want to see! As a huge boxing fan I find it very sad!
