[thewoo]

I hate it because it makes it look like all of use boxing fans are whiney little bitches that can't deal with the fact that there is another popular combat sport out there.

[Beebs]

I dont think there is any reason to not like both sports.

[kg0208]

Signed....what do I care. A good scrap is a good scrap right?

[jsimps]

Who cares...

[MacManJr.]

Signed....what do I care. A good scrap is a good scrap right?Very well spoken and I agree 100%. :thumbsup

[4Rounder]

I

MMA is a completely different sport from Boxing and its main competition is WWE.

[pipe wrenched]

I don't give a FucK..................






but, thanks for asking.

[TBooze]

Marquess of Queensberry Rules has been going for 140 or so years. For the last 100 years I suspect there may of been at least one boxing show every single day....

When MMA/UFC/ABZ has reached that level (by default that is at least 100 years away), then they be talked with the likes boxing, the greatest sport ever.

So I guess I am one of them who cares. Remember one ant can be squashed like that, but a colony can kill you. It is best to destroy MMA before it gains a foot hold and can destroy a currently weak boxing.

Well Ring Toss and Horseshoes have co existed for many years and their similar:deal

I don't think one will go away....they will make room for both once the rivalry dies down.

[BobDigi5060]

Me!

[lucasehr]

Me

I can't stand watching MMA, but to each their own. If someone wants to watch it more power to them.

[Beebs]

I thought it was TNA wrestling.

WWE is so much bigger than MMa.

A thread about not caring about a rivalry, and your dumb ass makes a completely worthless cut at one of the great sports. I really hope you die of some sort of terrible disease.

[Cachibatches]

Me.

Boxing is the greatest sport- all other forms of hand to hand combat including wreslting, judo, mui tai, and mma are also pretty cool.

Hell, I watch sumo when I find it on.

[Boro chris]

I'm your huckleberry!:smoke

[errsta]

add me...

I don't see how the fans should be mutually exclusive either way...

[o_money]

I wouldn't care if MMA didnt try to hype an MMA v boxing fued. but they do. and thats bullshit. And I fear that the illitterate masses will by the hype job.

As does boxing, every listen to Larry Merchant?

[bigeddie27]

count me in the list. To me they are 2 completly different sports. But at the same time i get the same amount of enjoyment watching both. I dunno, call me a combat sport fan.

[Napoleon]

Napoleon

[andyZOR]

I don't. I watch the sport that i like the most, and thats Boxing. MMA is OK. But not my thing.

[Mind Reader]

I don't loose any sleep over it.

[Carlos Primera]

put me down for the list. no reason to like one and dislike another. both sports need a high level of skill to excell at.

[Toopretty]

Well I dont give two and half shits about MMA..can you put me down.

[Lance_Uppercut]

This rivalry is pretty stupid. Kids always needs to 'join' something.

[cardstars]

I don't care at all. I think it's really stupid. It's like comparing tennis to golf - why don't people ever ask what would happen if Tiger got on the court with Federer, or vice versa? Because it's a retarded comparison of two completely different sports!!!

[theunderdog]

i just like combat sports in general. so me too

I will be dead by then. Add me to the doesn't care column.

[Illstate]

MMA has nothing to do with boxing. I probably wouldnt care about the rivalry if there really was a rivalry. But I dont even see it as that.
Boxing is here to stay MMa has alot to prove.
I can see the general public getting tired of it soon

[KO Boxing]

Me.

[ripcity]

They are two difrent sports that can and will coexest.

[Marnoff]

Both are fine with me.

[Dr Gonzo]

me because MMA is not a threat to the sweet science - never will be as popular

[MSTR]

I prefer boxing, but like MMA also. I am about to start training MMA instead of boxing now, as its more convenient for me in terms of travel.

[Ray_Robinson]

They are two difrent sports that can and will coexest.

I agree.

[rushman]

I love both. I respect the skills needed for both. I love watching both.

The fans and the promoters of both can suck pretty hard.

[Dekkers]

I enjoy watching just about every combat sport, not just boxing, mma, but stuff like Olympic judo, Muay thai, pure BJJ/JJ, sambo, etc.

[rendog67]

add me completely not interested

[Koa]

I like combat sports, all of them, boxing was my first love though. Only way to make boxing competetive with MMA is to give fans interesting world class matchups, just doesn't happen often enough these days. Boxing hasn't re-invested in itself. Promoters arent providing gyms for kids that once existed via Government support 20-30 years ago. MMA is all inclusive, so they don't have to worry about it.. Boxing is simply reaping what it has sewed, or not sewed sadly..

If promoters like Don King put money in low income areas to fund youth boxing programs, we would have a huge talent pool in the states. Don't blame MMA for boxing shortcommings.

[PrideOfWales]

I am more than in this!

[achillesthegreat]

Me.

I love both but boxing more.

[koko of phil]

I don't care.

I know the difference.

" List of People That Don't Care About the Boxing/MMA Rivalry"

I don't care . . . actually I don't see any rivalry at all.

:yep

[marting]

Boxing has been here a long time. MMA is a basically an entirely new sport and has a short track record albeit fairly promising. But talk to me in 40 years and then maybe we can discuss whether MMA has staying power and has taken fanbase away from boxing.

In 40 years I can virtually guarantee that boxing will still be around. I'm not sure that I can say the same thing for MMA. Right now there's not enough depth in the ranks of the MMA and that apparently is a problem that a promoter that I spoke to in Tampa says. He told me putting on MMA cards is a struggle not because he can't sell tickets but because it's hard to get a card to come off. Maybe in time it will attract more participants but the truth is boxing has seen an erosion in the number of fighters and cards and that doesn't bode well for either sport.

[psychopath]

What is MMA?

Mix Martial Arts brotha. :D

[BewareofDawg]

4.5 million viewers tuned in to there last card. :roll:
That doesn't mean it's a "threat to boxing" :deal

I don't give a shit because I feel its been manifested by insecure boxing fans who are bitter at the decline of boxing in mainstream America and are now getting resentful at the sudden success MMA is having attracting fans who know and care fuck-all about boxing.

In reality though, there is no logical answer to the question "Why would someone being attracted to MMA suddenly be more turned off to Boxing???"

MMA isn't "stealing fans" they are just attracting fans. More specifically I doubt anyone has said "Oh, I used to like boxing but now I don't because MMA is getting popular" :nut If anything they now share common fans and each have a group of fans who aren't interested in the other. :deal

[Fab2333]

I personally dont watch MMA, so I dont give two shits about it. Boxing is my anti-drug

[psychopath]

That was rhetorical but well there are nearly no MMA shows over here, so i can´t see any rivalry.

Nothi'n? :roll:

Anyway . . . both are contact sports . . . but they have different set of rules . . . so the excitement it brings is quite different. :yep

[fightfanatic1]

i hate the debate but can't seem to stay out of them.

[Chert]

me.

i don't watch MMA at all. so for me, there is no rivalry. there's only boxing. :)

[sandwichsurgeon]

I don't care, apples and oranges.

[RUSKULL]

Me.

I appreciate both as related, but different sports.

[amhlilhaus]

Signed....what do I care. A good scrap is a good scrap right?

totally agree, I'll watch boxing, k-1, mma, olympic wrestling, judo, sumo whatever as long as it's full contact.

[mormeckflex]

Me.

I appreciate both as related, but different sports.

Agreed!

I'll watch K-1, UFC, old school PRIDE, boxing...and I'll just enjoy them all in their entirety!

Apples and oranges baby

[achillesthegreat]

That´s 0,5 less than people do here for a boxing show and Germany just has a population of 80 million.
I swear German big fights get about ten mil watching.

Khan got 5mil or so for his last amateur fight.

Williams v Sprott II got 2.5mil and that was on in the middle of the day.

People need to stop its MMA v American boxing. Boxing is world wide and going strong.

Calzaghe and Hatton fill out stadiums with no problem.

Britain, Germany etc have big boxing and so does Australia, South Africa etc

Did no one watch Mundine v Green? That shit was huge in Australia.

[KhanB]

Boxing is big in germany but isn't scat porn and David Hastlehoff's band also popular there. Let's not judge the merit of something on wheather or not germans will watch it on tv. Those people are fucked up.
