well seeing as this is the british and irish section of boxrec , ill repeat mma has no regulation , say what you want about the BBBoC , but most countries would love to have the same level of governance

the people who wont want mma to be governed properly are probably all on roids and/or growth , they dont want to be drug tested , anyone truly passionate about a sport would in my view want it o be more official and more organised , surely .

Drugs testing in boxing?????



hahahahahah hhahha


oh my god, drugs testing in boxing is even worse than in MMA!!!

Oh come on, ever heard of a fighter called "Manny Pacquiao"

Yes we may well be in the British section of the forum, but as an ex-pat, I see everything with a global perspective.

Well no, i haven't been trying 2 hard, i shouldn't have to "try hard" FFS, its the promoters job to excite my interest bone (not that one) and make me want to watch the fights.

Again, you guys should all be promoters! Yeah, make your customers work hard! they are lucky we even let them in!

This is my point, you halfwits, UFC doesn't make you "work hard" to get interested, they give you the who, why, where, when and how.

Look at how Frank Maloney "promotes" his flights... he comes on screen, moans about why he couldn't get the fight he really wanted, is on the defensive from minute 1 and generally gives you the impression that its not going to be much fun at all.

Yes they have had a disappointing couple of years, however in 2010 over 15 shows they had 9,305,000 buys for a total of $465 million in PPV revenue. (This is most any company has ever done in the history of the universe, btw) 2011 is well down from that, but they have had bad luck with injuries.

My point is Fvck off , if you want to talk about how great ufc is then join a ufc forum , sick of peope coming on here saying how great it is , i joined a boxing forum to talk boxing , regardless of if people think its in decline or not , im here to talk about the fights , the passion , the drama and the controversy

Ok, if you object so much then maybe dont read threads like this, never mind posting in them, FFS....

And i was here well before you were mate, and i am sick of people coming on here with such a narrow world view "I dont like it, therefore noone should talk about it"

Completely different? oh come on, UFC and the various boxing promotions are trying to sell you exactly the same thing (a fight between 2 men) one is doing great, the other lot, shit.

damianhucker1 wrote:people who know about boxing know that fighters have to be built up to become what they end up being , ufc dont do that and thats because theyve already had their building up period in other smaller promotions , if you must compare ufc to boxing then do it like for like , compare it to say top rank , or allegedly or matchroom

I am comparing them to FW, Matchroom et al who just dont seem to be able to make people care about the fights

damianhucker1 wrote:you was here before me , who gives a flying fvck , the type of garbage your writing you may as well have joined yesterday , you say you are omparing to the promotors , no your not , your comparing one promotion , try comparing the top 10 promotions from each sport , thats a fairer assesment

Garbage, eh? Or simply offering a viewpoint you dont agree with?

damianhucker1 wrote:and i completely disagree with you saying theyre both promoting the same thing , if thats the case why on earth is mma so boring to watch.

The 2 things have nothing to with each other, they are promoting a fight between 2 men and giving you a reason to watch it. How the fight ends up has got nothing to do with how they get the bums on seats.

damianhucker1 wrote:why are so many boxers known to the non boxing fan , maybe not like they used to be but most people know who the top fighters are , more so than they do in mma , i only know maybe half a dozen mma fighters , and thats considering 2 of those i know because they are from the same city as me , i couldnt say who is the better f them , as ive no idea , its doesnt appeal to me and in the whole that applies to the wider spectator , theres far more boxing fans than mma , by a vast number .

Unless you're the accountant for the UFC then i can guarantee you those PPV figures and money you just mentioned are pure fantasy and are massively inflated that ufc fans regurgitate to make themselves feel better. Infact those figures that are posted on mma sites are not backed by one shred of actual evidence.

UFC is packaged for idiots, it's the Mcdonalds of combat sports for lazy people who want a quick meal without thinking too much.

As for boxing, if you don't know what the good fights are you're not much of boxing fan. I'll give you a clue there's 3 potentially cracking fights later tonight plus one featuring one of the most least known but most exciting boxers we currently have in Roman Gonzalez.

Sergio Martinez vs Darren Barker - will be alot closer and more competitive then people think.
Brian Vera vs Andy Lee - first fight was a brawl so expect more of same.
Toshiaki Nishioka VS Rafael Marquez - Has a good chance at being a FOTY candidate.
Roman Gonzalez vs Omar Soto - Gonzalez is a gem of a fighter and worth checking out

NOW eff OFF.

The thing is, though, he's actually got a point and you're still not getting it. It's easy to put on a pair of ear-defenders, pull up the hood of your anorak and pull the drawstrings as tight as possible whilst tossing yourself off in front of a 4 x 2 match in Doncaster, whilst kidding yourselves on that everyone else in society shares your fetish, the truth is: they don't. For the sport to thrive you need more than just the fanatic-dollar.

theres no actual proof of manny taking anything , only rumours , i PERSONALLY know mma fighters are on drugs , people who have fought on relatively big promotions , i wont name any names as im no grass , but if you know half as much as youthink then youll know this is true .

if your so keen to see things in a global perspective post your ramblings on the current scene forum with the rest of the tossers

Trust me go to small town shows and your will see the true boxing scene where nobody gives a dam about 0 or being on sky but blood sweat and tears the lot even when i see a top journey man who as 60 odd loses giving hes all.

Of course the small shows are the life blood of the sport, and i have fond memories of cards at the Willows (and even fonder ones of Steve Holdsworth's outlaw shows (is he still in that game?) but sadly being 7000 miles, its just not something i have access to.
