So combat sports are finished right?

so combat sports are finished right?

Boxing was already on its way out and now theres no more champions or any other match ups you can hype, no other boxers are as famous as mayweather to fill the gap his retirement will leave, and MMA looks like a joke now after mcgregors defeat and it was never that successful anyways compared to boxing

>Boxing was already on its way out
>Two guys just won over 100 million each in one fight, proving the sport is far more popular than fake MMA nonsense
MMA was always a fake bullshit pseudo sport.

Are you fucking dumb?

They are bigger than ever. Boxing just needs better shit-talkers to drum up hype

thats the point though, this was the biggest fight in years and it was basically a circus that pulled in an opponent whose popular in a different sport, what match ups are they going to schedule that will replace this? people only came for the draw of watching a UFC fighter vs a Boxer, what are they gonna do? make it happen again? Whose going to fight it? who else is going to bring in the same draw? boxing has none.

no boxing needed a UFC fighter to make it interesting, no one cares for actual boxing

Boxing is dead, MMA will continue growing. People aren't tired of combat, they're tired of boxing rules.

Boxing will always be a far more accessible and classy sport than MMA tap-out fratboy faggotry

They would if boxing featured big ass motherfuckers like Tyson knocking people the fuck out

>no other boxers are as famous as mayweather to fill the gap his retirement will leave

You say this like it's a negative thing that boxing won't have another Floyd Mayweather to make it look ridiculous. If he's actually gone this time then normies leave and it'll hopefully slide back closer to people fighting to prove whose the best rather than padding your record by picking the opponents you have the biggest advantage against.

Mayweather won't stay retired though.

So you're saying that once mayweather is gone, boxing will go back to being a niche product the majority of people don't care about? That's basically what op is saying. Normie's are what pays the bills and keep a sport relevant.

>what is GGG v Alvarez
mma never will be a true fighting sport
that's already been decided

That's because all the Yank boxers are shit now,rest of the world is doing ok

Notice we always hear this boxing is dead meme from Yanks, fucking idiots

see

Where can I rewatch the fight?

Lomachenko can save the sport. White, ultra aggressive, knock out power and some of the quickest footwork i've seen since mayweathers prime.

hes fookin nasty, boxing just needs to get off PPV and it would be back in business. but its rigged so they wont.

Right, so no Americans = no one cares.

You basically just proved his point.

>boxing was already on its way out

Literally EVERY TIME Mayweather wins, someone thinks boxing is dead.

That Yanks are shit fighters now? I wouldn't be proud of that m80

malignaggi/mcgreggor will do big numbers

MMA won't convince anyone that isn't already convinced. certainly not when the target viewer is young, overweight, flyover WWE fans.

I'd say it has peaked if this irishman is the most likeable 'star'. no more memes left. a heavyweight would run out of steam even quicker.
