Which do you prefer? I used to box in the early 90s, (1990-94) when the sport still had some glory to it. However in my opinion, paying $50 for a pay per view to see mediocre fighters not even fighting for belts and not putting marquee fights on television basically just killed the sport. I still like boxing, but I LOVE MMA fighting. Im addicted to UFC, PrideFC, and reason being, they have done an outstanding job putting it on REGULAR cable and marketing it for the fans. You can see great fights on Spike or check out IFC on Fox Sports South. Its an easy no brainer for me, give me UFC on Spike, IFC or Pride any day of the week.

Well, one thing about MMA. I guarantee you that if a fight is rigged, that at least a man will go out with a bloody nose or cut to prove it, lol! Boxing is a joke anymore! I tell you what would solve alot of problems for both. Have a purse for the winner, and have the losing fighter get about 10-15% of what the winner gets! IMO, that would solve ALOT! I say no contest TH32, as you know I am hooked a well! MMA is a slaughter! Dane is a genious and Joe Rogan said it best, Boxing is mad because MMA is running over there sport and later stated that when Mayweather and De LaHoya leave the sport, that it is done because they have no names coming up!

your right. Boxing has nobody to blame but its greedy self. In it heyday, up through the 70s when guys like Joe Frazier (my favorite), Ken Norton, Ali, George Foreman fought, you could watch it on live television. Now you have to pay a kings price to watch average fighters fight. ESPN Classic shows classic fights all the time, and Ill bet more people watch those 35 year old fights more than they watch today. As long as Dana White dont get too greedy, and keep it exactly like it is right now, they'll have the perfect blend. You can still watch great fights on Spike, and save the marquee ones for the PPV's..

I'd rather watch Ninja Warrior on G4 than either of these two options.

Take the floor stuff out of MMA and we might have the starting point of a conversation. Keep 'em on their feet like warriors.

I do agree with that part, it's dumb once they just start rolling around on the ground.
But, for instance, my friend does MMA, and they started one match, he ran up, hit the dude twice, the dude fell to the floor, my friend just starts going to town on him, he taps out. That part's ok with me, it's when they're in holds for 5+ minutes that bore me.
I'm still MMA though

K-1 and muay thai are superior to MMA.
