Dana White Tirade

[boozeboxer]

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

I didn't say there was a correlation in status and intelligence, I am saying that boxing has MMA beat in both categories.

But you are right. It is a stupid argument. However, I think boxing has some of the most diverse fans of any sport ever. It is hard to stereotype boxing fans, as Lyle is able to do pretty with accuracy with other sports.

Booze, in all honesty I think boxing seems to have the advantage over MMA when it comes to NOT being trendy. I know there are fighters and fans of MMA who really truly respect the sport, I just get tired of the guys with big attitudes/egos....a little bit of the stereotyped MMA fighter/fan goes a long way for me.


But there are a couple of things that UFC has done FAAAAAR better than boxing in recent years and I hate to say it but Dana White is part of the reason.....I think he's a total prick but he's done a fairly good job with UFC. Their fighters train properly and come to fights in shape (for the most part) and tonight boxing has a heavyweight matchup between 1 guy who is 6'3 255 and another who is 6'6 271....and I am certain their body fat % is somewhere around 14-20% and if you were to compare that to 2 heavyweight contenders in the UFC I am certain those guys would be in better shape and the same comes to marketing....boxing on the whole has gotten lazy. Lazy fighters, lazy marketing, and it has lead to lazy fans or fans who have switched to MMA.

I do have to give credit to MMA/UFC when credit is due and right now it's doing a damn fine job because of and inspite of it's asshole commissioner.


....even if the stereotypes are true . I may watch more UFC or MMA as the years pass but I will NEVER: wear an Affliction t-shirt, get a tribal tattoo, or have those ugly ass cauliflower ears

you guys kill me...but this is the most posting the MMA forum has seen in weeks...so I can't complain to much...If yall get showtime watch the Frank Shamrock vs Nick Diaz fight tonight. Two of the biggest loud mouths the sport has but should put on an entertaining fight.
