I don't get in stupid arguments about which sport is better, I enjoy both. Lyle may have but not me. Comparing sports as to which one is more entertaining or requires more skill is just childish. I also find it odd that you seem to tie intelligence to socio-economic status. So poor people people are not smart enough to graspt boxing? Empirical or not unless you can provide such a study its nothing more than your elitist self righteous opinion. When you do your research make sure you compare college educations of MMA fighters vs Boxers as well. I'll say again what difference does it make though? I guess golf must be the best sport hands down b/c its fans by a percentage come from higher economic status and conversley are just more intelligent
