Why is MMA a threat to boxing?

[Mattyhitman]

people in the MMA circles tell me that theres more skill to it

i think that can be disputed but whether there is or there isnt the bottom line is, more often than not, MMA is boring

they spend most of their time lieing down

the best MMA fights i have seen are when they spend more of the time on their feet throwing punches (when it is more like boxing)

LOL, this is a typical ignorant statement by someone who doesnt understand nor wants to appreciate the finer points of mixed martial arts.

At the end of the day everyone is entitled to their opinion, you clearly dont like MMA, hence your statement, but to ridicule a sport when you dont understand it seems ridiculous to me
