Boxing vs MMA? what is the future in these sports
Not only because of his Knockouts within the UfC, but also his aggressive character, his totally arrogant personality, his offensive attitude and even his elegance; today the day is the attitude that sells the most in the eyes of the public, sensationalism prevails, above all.
The UfC is displacing boxing?
Imminently, in my personal opinion, the answer is yes in the long term, the public of the 21st century is clamoring for real action, blood, action, real fights where everything is worth it, we can already see the need within boxing for the great Champions have to prostitute themselves in fighting with YouTubers, artists, singers and even fighters of the same MMA; in order to be able to sell tickets; while MMA rigidly and clearly holds its future vision as one of the biggest and most watched sports in history.
It is not surprising that we will soon see Canelo Álvarez vs. the electrician who repairs the lights in Boxing, we have already seen a retired Evander Holyfield vs. an also tired Vitor Belfort, soon it will be boxing more like a Show Wrestle mania than a Really serious sport, where he praised real Champions such as Sugar Ray Leonard, Mohammed Ali, Mano de piedra Duran, Julio Cesar Chávez among others. Fighters who will never return.
People just want to see more punches and less techniques.
What will we see in the coming years in Boxing?
In the absence of a Tyson Fury or a Canelo Álvarez, in reality, the truth is uncertain unless a new superstar is born as in the 80s, boxing is involved in a spiral without brakes in the absence of a true star that put an end to the spin and save the sport again, since as I emphasized before; people are hungry for blood, they want to see more punches than they want to see points scored, they want to see more broken bones, more takedowns and more beatings, this is just what sells and people want to see.
What will happen to MMA in the next few years?
I think that it is on its way to being the most watched sport of all, since it meets the expectations of the public; the human being has always liked violence, not only now, but since biblical times and only MMA quenches the thirst for violence a little, seeing the champion against another champion, seeing the most hated against the most loved, or seeing the most knockout against the most finisher, it is simply what the public is looking for and that is why I think it will be the sport of the future.
