Do you believe that Boxing is dying?

If boxing is dying, why did Pacquiao-dela Hoya garnered 1.2 million PPV buys?
Sourgraping ra ni si Calzaghe kay 200,000 ra ka PPV ila ni Roy.. hahahaha.. suerte pa gani siya kay naay ni tan aw niya sa iyang ka bati ug style
Wa siyay uwaw.. after making a lot of money (I read somewhere mga $10million) thru boxing, he critizes the sport imbis nga iyang i promote. inutil gyud

sakto sad ka bro, hehehe.
bisan unsa man tingali nga sports, naa gyud anomaliya.
feeling tingali niya nga wala nay lain mo champion, or siya ra gisaligan sa sports.

i think i have to agree. after manny pacquiao, i don't think boxing will be the same not only in the philippines but internationally as well. MMA is starting to become the "in" thing right now. boxing will just go down as another training ground for MMA fighters in the future. the money will be in MMA real soon.

kinahanglan man gud fan base ang boxing gud....kung dili kaayo ka daghan ug fans, hinay ang kita, then dili ka tagaan ug break sa PPV....

actually, ang president sa WBC, against man sad siya aning gibuhat nga monopoly sa HBO, suko siya anang exclusive nga makita sa live ang HBO ra....subra ra daw ka panapi ba.
ang ingon ni Suliman, nga before siya mo retire, mag tukod daw sila ug station nga mo host sa mga fights, nga dili mahal....

probably boxing is a dying sport but dying doesn't really mean it's gonna end soon.... it will be "reborn" again like other sports do, for instance people thought that bball would die cause mj retired but it didn't and it came back strong as ever..... and comparing MMA from Boxing is like apples and oranges, they're both fruits but not the same fruit...... yeah UFC would probably dominate the fight scene in 5yrs from now or less, but boxing will bounce back if ever it is going to crumble.... hehehehe

Professional boxing as training ground for MMA? I don't think so.. Kinsa man kunoy former boxer be nga nahimong maau nga player sa MMA and vice versa? They're entirely different sports..

you didn't get the point. ang pasabot anang training ground for MMA is MMA fighters honing their punching skills through boxing dili kay pro and amateur boxers going to MMA. obviously alkansi gyud nang boxers, well rounded kaayo ang MMA and other than that MMA fighters can strike as hard as boxers. mas nindot ug daghan lang ug punching techniques ang boxers.

they might be different but MMA is using the very thing that is used most and mastered in boxing, punching. that's why boxing is a very useful tool in MMA. mao nang akong pasabot nga himuon na ug training ground sa ubang mga MMA fighters ang boxing.
