MMA vs. Boxing

I love watching combat sport. They have to be one of the most entertaining sports to watch. I just love how intense the fight is and what the fighters do to pump up the fight. It is so entertaining when the fighters promote their fights by smack talking with each other. It is always fun what each of the fighter have to say about each other and how they are going react towards one another.

Boxing has been a long time sports that everyone love to watch. It also has to be one of the longest and oldest combating sports that exist. Boxing was one time one of the most popular sports to watch. This sport is the father of combat sports. Lately, boxing hasn't been as popular as it used to be. It's now sometimes consider as a dying sport because no one isn't really paying too much attention to it any more. There are about maybe five good boxers that people will pay attention to. But once those boxers aren't fighting then no one doesn't really care too much about it. Also, the paper-per-view is too expensive. Even though there are at least four fights in a boxing card. People are really paying just to see the main event card.

MMA is the world's fastest growing sports. It's also the closest thing to a real street fight. Now MMA has been growing all over the world. For MMA, it's less expensive and there are usually ten to twelve fight cards on it. And the fights are always entertaining because anything can happen in a MMA fight. MMA is not a one dimensional sports where it you stand up all the time and just punch your opponent. In MMA, there are, jiu-jitsu, judo, wrestling, boxing, muay Thai, karate, tae-kwon-do and more other martial arts that are involved that makes this sports so entertaining to watch.

In my opinion, MMA is a lot more entertaining to watch than boxing. I love to watch boxing but boxing can be a boring at times. The only time I'll watch boxing is when either Manny Pacquiao or Floyd Mayweather are fighting on that fight card. If not, I don't really follow boxing that much. For MMA, I follow it because I'm a hardcore fan. I can watch all the fights cards and not be bored. Even when the MMA fighters are not that well known, I can still watch it and not be bored at all. I love watching MMA because all the martial arts are combined together and you see all of them being used. That's why I prefer watching MMA over boxing.
