This wasn't your average boxing event, this was a Saudi spectacle to promote their country. The concerts and all the time wasting between fights is unacceptable in any regular boxing event of course.
I mean MMA fans know this already. I’m just glad to see that the boxing fans got to see it. Too many belts, too many weight classes, press conferences and rivalries aren’t as interesting The promoters are too involved. Too much emphasis on being undefeated. Not enough stars in boxing. The best don’t fight the best and the Fans are somewhat accepting that the best fights won’t happen. In the MMA, I somewhat believe that no one is afraid of no one. I think the issue is, they think it’s just sloppy street fighting. When in actuality, it’s two skilled and experienced Mixed Martial artist figuring each other out.
@YouAintGotNoTegridyBoi he's not. He's a mma guy. So certain talking points been ran in the ground in boxing circles. The more things change, the more they stay the same smh
In MMA, you could have 10 fights and be regarded as an exciting up and coming talent that needs to be marketed. In boxing, you could be 30-0 and no one has a clue who you are whilst still continuing to fight on mediocre undercards.

One thing everyone should be able to agree on, the undercards are an objective severe downgrade in boxing. Even just last week, we saw what happens when a main event falls through in the UFC. The co-main takes up the main event slot and fills the void with EASE. In boxing, when the main event goes, the whole card sinks.

Agreed. Inoue and Crawford should not be put on the same class as Fury after yesterday’s circus but on a greater scale. Those two guys are truly the best in the world.
@@LuminationXP Brock was given the chance to become champion. Frank was in a exhibition situation that if really real, the suits would've finessed him, even though he was the better fighter. Let frank fight more, he'll get a shot if he wanted it. But will the suits let him?.... that's the sad part.
My friend is a professional boxer, and what you say about the event dragging on forever is exactly correct. The start will be delayed by an hour, there will be 30 minutes between each fight, there will be an 1.5 hour intermission for some sound cloud rapper to perform, then before the main event some chick sings the national anthem, and finally after 8 hours we get to the main event, despite there only having been about 6 before. It's torture to sit through.
Then your friend either lying or he doesn't exist because there are barely any fights that have concerts in the intermission and the main event only comes out late in the case that they are not ready. This is only differnt on freakshow fights like the one you watched.
One of the biggest boxing failures is they fail to build any prospects. The UFC excels at that. Bo Nickal, Mohammad Mokaev, Umar Nurmagomedov. You know to watch these guys long before they get the title shot. In boxing, you don’t know who to watch until after they’ve won multiple belts. By the time I wanted to watch guys like Canelo or Gervonta Davis, they were already multiple time champs.
And we just saw Shara make his debut last week who was being really hyped up by the ufc, never heard a word about whose on the fury ngannou undercard or even co main
@@Z4NKA1 I don't mean there are no prospects at all. I mean that boxing promoters do very little to bring attention to prospects before they reach the big time.
This is why I've been saying it for years!!!!! BRING BACK TUESDAY NIGHT FIGHTS!!!!! call up Sean O'Grady and the crew and day get busy 🥊🥊🥊🥊 That was the best. Easily accessible quality fights weekly and on top of that, you saw the rise of fighters and got to see established vets come out to fight. I miss those days 🥊🥊🥊🥊🫡💯
As a dude who prefers watching boxing over mma Lucas is 100% correct. Boxing is so stuck in the stone ages with promotion its actually embarrassing, if they want to actually succeed 20+ years from now they need to do something ASAP, even though boxing does better numbers than the ufc(excluding mcgregor of course)how many of those dudes are old heads who won't be here in 30 years? The UFC has been killing it with promotion the past couple years and I guarantee if you ask a group of 20 year olds about top mma fighters, they would probably know about them more than top boxers. It's actually sad cause when the best fight the best it's really a beautiful sport.
You clearly don't watch a lot of boxing if you think all of boxing is in the stone ages with promotion when Canelo and AJ are massive superstars even with their setbacks. MMA has been struggling more lately than boxing due to many big fights not happening (it's main advantage over boxing) yet this one event happens and suddenly that's all been reversed. Being a tad emotional about it now.
@@YouAintGotNoTegridyBoi many big fights not happening? volk islam 2, khamzat usman, covington edwards, jiri pereira, shavkat wonderboy, sergei aspinall, what are you talking about?
@@dbspew whats a money fight then, we said big fights not money fight, and those are just fights from a quarter of the year i didnt even list the ones earlier in the year
@@dbspewneither are thos eyou mentioned? The only moneyfights youve had in the past years is Tankv Garcia and spence v crawford, Wheres fury vs usyk, Aj vs wilder? Canelo vs Benavidez? Tank vs Haney? Shakur v Haney? Teofimo fighting those guys? Crawford fighting ennis and vergil? Charlo vs Andrade/GGG
I like boxing and think it’s a beautiful sport but Mayweather economics have ruined it for me. Nothing more insufferable than hearing boxers talking about money.
Boxing sucks because it’s so decentralized. UFC love them or hate them books the best fights have consistent production and has less politics. This makes for a better overall product.
I actually disagree. Boxing allows the freedom to explore all sorts of narratives that will never, ever, ever be explored in the ufc. The ufc is cool and all, but it has a shelf life and it gets old rather easily. I don't even watch it anymore. Couldn't care less.
I don’t get it, time to time it’s proven boxing doesn’t go well with music concerts yet promotions keep doing it. We’re paying to see the fight nobody cares about lil baby wtf
Everyone bitching about everything from last night found out why i gave up on boxing 10 years ago and i love boxing as a sport, ive boxed since i was a kid, but as a business it's terrible
Agreed. 20 years ago I was more interested in boxing and had only middling interest in the UFC. It's completely changed over the past two decades. I'll watch at least the main card of nearly every UFC events but only bother to check out a handful of boxing matches a year.
Lol you ain't gotta feel bad for us boxing fans. Tbh you will find a lot of boxing fans even rooting for Ngannou. Boxing is now more niche than mma, it ain't dying. Also this fight wasn't an L for boxing, just like Jake Paul KO against former UFC champs isn't really an L for the UFC 😅. I do agree the UFC does a better job promoting fights though, btw I'm in my 20s lol. Also don't forget a lotta UFC guys be begging to get into boxing just to make a buck 😅
Maybe it’s that boxers don’t need to trash talk to promote a fight. In ufc if you don’t trash talk you don’t sell. Pacquaio sold millions of PPVs without talking trash as well as many other boxers in his era.
@@peps7724that’s why boxing is a dead sport. You can *touch* someone with grazing shots that do no damage but get rocked multiple times and win in boxing by points. Not a real fight, not a real sport.
@@djLagwayEnjoyerMMA is scored round by round and just as prone to the exact same situation. In fact it happens all the time when people complain about damage not being factored into MMA scoring enough.
@@djLagwayEnjoyer Yes, it annoying if you've ever fought in amateurs people get robbed all the time and the amateurs are a lot more legit than the pro's ironically.
I feel that the 10 rounds of 3 minutes is way too much. It would be better if they did 7 rounds of 4 or 5 minutes, and allow fighters to get in rhythm, this in my opinion would result in more finishes (which boxing has none) and it would shift the way fighters train and condition themselves for the fight.
Ikr, the rounds are fucking ridiculous. At least in kickboxing even though the rounds are short they only have 3-5 so the pace is high, and I wish kickboxing had more rounds
Agreed, for the lighter weights they can definitely push the pace and be more active throughout and boxing is way less cardio intensive then mma, but for these heavyweights 10 rounds is way too much
I’d prefer it to be 10 minutes over 30+ lol, 20 minutes is more than enough for the couple minute pre fight hype package to play and both guys to have walked out and be in the cage getting announced
They definitely killed it. It’s bringing more eyes to the sport but imo it’s negative and makes the sport out to be a joke just a really bad look. And on top of it ngannou might have just put the nail in the coffin for boxing. Boxing got better numbers now but when all these old heads aren’t around ufc gonna take over. Every single 10-20 year old right now knows about ufc way more then they do about boxing
@@LtCommanderTato I’d say ufc is doing much better with the younger generation. I’m 17 and all my friends and pretty much all the guys I meet my age know about ufc
The amount of rounds coupled with the fact that all the top boxers are terrified of getting an 0 on their record makes them so unbelievably gun shy that it just becomes a snooze fest
When Nelo retires they're going to be in trouble, they literally have ZERO names that will touch the height of Nelo when it comes to PPV sales. There is plenty of talent but no stars.
100% agree, watching the event yesterday with the wait times, between fights, the walkouts, it's brutal. I don't know how the crowd survived without alcohol, because i'd need to be piss drunk not to lose patience with all the waiting, 1000 interviewers all askibg the same questions. Tie it up with a post fight conference and call it a night.
Boxing Is Not Dying 💀 Literally No Event Does Concerts The Only One That Has Was The Tyson Fight And Jake Paul Vs Askren + We Got Crawford Vs Spence Ryan Garcia Vs Gevronta Davis Devin Haney Vs Lomachenko Teofimo Lopez Vs Josh Taylor Etc Etc
I agree mma is on the way to surpassing boxing. Definitely in the US. Boxing is alittle bit more complicated though. Imagine the UFC, PFL, Bellator and ONE all had the same amount of money and promotional power. It would be a fight to get the best fighters. Then it would be a fight to build up prospects and make them future stars. Fighter would have more options which for them is GREAT. It for fans that’s not always a positive. Fighters would avoid each other. Just like boxing and the similar problems that boxing has the mma community would have. MMA is so great in the states because the UFC pretty much has a monopoly and are the WWE of mma
Watching that last night was painful I’m an mma guy to and even fight in mma listening to those commentators in between the co main event, and main event mentioning how “Ronaldo is here, Kanye is here, Eminem is here” literally a few hundred times god it drove me insane, absolute CRAP!! Total circus it’s like WWE with boxing gloves on
Who ever put the event did a horrible job making us wait an extra hour to see them fight and a rap performance bro it’s unnecessary asf I’m so glad this ppv didn’t even do 100k buys they lost all the money paying off Tyson and ngannou
I watched MMA from the beginning of the UFC to about 5 years ago. It has become extremely boring with a bunch of generic fighters who all share the same 3 personalities. Virtually every card looks the same as the previous card, and the fans are also forced to watch women's MMA, which is terrible. Imagine going to an NBA basketball game, and 1 quarter of the game featured women's basketball, that's what you get with the UFC. Boxing also sucks, but there are some fights that I still look forward to. Not to mention Dana's mafia connection, and the fact that this mafia connection is why the fighters get robbed.
I’m my opinion boxing events are showing their age. Slow, drawn out and more about the money than anything else. MMA, being younger, seems to be a pure a sporting event with hyped promotions and minimal politics onscreen. Of course a lot goes on behind the scenes.
Except when Dana White brings on the ex-president, they show up on the big screen on the arena, and the commentators are all talking about how much they love it lol these are the only moments where I feel like the UFC is being too political
@@TheSastokeNot really as he is just another celebrity at that moment. They show his face like any other celebrity. They dont have him do speeches or promotions.
@@TheSastoke even then, thats really the sort of respect former and sitting presidents always got until recently. They just show his face and him walking in not that different from how they show other celebrities
Fully agreed on your points but i think are few points in favor of boxing compared to MMA. 1. The Hype, while having so many belts and thus making top ranked boxers of each belt organization fight each other nevertheless it creates hype, can1 compare the hype Manny-Floyd had or Lewis-Tyson to any mma fight? 2. Competitive history of fighters - While boxing builds up numbers of top tier proteges (all of them basicaly starting automathicaly 20-0 before having a first top tier fight), that " 0 " in the record still does hype things up, Wilder beat mostly canes and same can be said for Fury before Wladimir but both of them were creating buzz before finally proving themselves, in MMA you are a novice with little or no amateur background(many mma fighters started late teens or even early 20s fighting, while most boxers start in teens and have 100+ amateur fights before becoming pro) , you win 4-5 fights(also can be cherry picked to boost the odds dependend of who is more marketable and future proof) and suddenly you are in the top tier(top5-8) fighter, and same goes for tittle defending, you defend your title for 3-4 times suddenly you are a GOAT contender, i swear to you lets say today Miocic,Jones and Cain are considered goats for the majority, stop watching MMA for 5 years and then come back you will have some1 else replace them 3. Missmatches - certinaly in boxing there are types of fighters (in/out etc) but they dont influence the fight nearly as in MMA, for example if one of the 2 fighters is top tier BJJ and the other one is a striker i can guarentee you the way the fight is gonna go, almost all the action will be on the ground or attempts to take it to the ground
Boxing is still great, it just needs to drop all the multiple titles and have one champion per division, get rid of all the national anthems boring the hell out of us, have better undercards like they did in the 90's and most importantly champions need to fight more often! Fighting once a year just kills any momentum a good fight or champion can have.
Honestly doubt any of those things will happen, what shocked me about boxing vs UFC is how many undefeated ranked fighters there are, I saw that was and was just fed up
There are 4 organizations, every event is centered on the main fight. There are always 6+ people talking at the press conference who don't even fight on the card. And when you watch it you always have to wait 30+ min between every fight
It’s a mission trying to find out the undercard fights on boxing events, when you search ufc you literally get a nice line up showing all the fights along with the upcoming events
It’s usually mma fans(Lucas is one of them) who always look down in mma just look at mma channels/instapages amd you’ll see it’s mma fans looking down on boxing
And then after waiting more than an hour for the main event, we got Fury taking his sweet sweet ass time waking out. Like holy shit that was frustrating
Ufc is a Dana white show as WWE was a Vince McMahon show. Nothing interesting in ufc if to be a star, you must be a sheep for Dana. Also no money in ufc compared to boxing
@@tylerberg4832 Yeah because people who dont watch MMA knows tons of MMA fighters dont they. Alex Pereira is probably the biggest full time star in the sport these days lol, who the fuck outside of the MMA fanbase knows that guy.
So it works like this: the 'best guys' go through their careers crushing cans, like the Arslanbek guy yesterday TKOd a guy in a minute, then they all sit at the top of an arbitrary ranking, and then barely fight each other. This is how you get a couple of guys who are supposedly 'best in the world' like Fury, who then in turn gets exposed by an MMA fighter. Any other fucking sport in the world has a coherent, definitive table which says who sits where, based on the competitions held between them. But not in the worlds most crooked sport/scheme of professional boxing. I hate it because i think its a magnificent martial art,bl but it has been absolutely ruined by its present oligarchy of matchmakers and, also, of how little it has accepted to change since its beginnings
I'm somewhat of a rare breed actually. I'm the type of guy who was always an MMA fan but slowly transitioned into more of a boxing fan. I still watch UFC alot because there are always good fights being made and I'm too curious to miss them but what made me slowly transition to boxing was I had enough of the wrestlefucking and laying and praying. I think the magomed ankalaev vs jan blachowiz and merab vs Yan really turned me off from mma. You know when people say if you don't like wrestling go watch boxing or kickboxing? Well I did lol, also because I'm training to become an amateur boxer in the future so that plays a part. But Lucas is still spot on, if only the UFC were to start doing boxing promotions then it would be the best thing ever with the way they market fighters and advertise cards
@@Z4NKA1 yeah and hearing islam say more kids from dagestan are training to become ufc fighters soon is not a good thing. Soon all we'll have is khabib copy pastes screaming inshallah brather and just lay on top of each other.
@@Z4NKA1 i feel like people overexaggerate how boring dagestani fighters are. Most of khabibs fights were great. Khamzat Chimaev gave us the fight of the year vs Burns. Islam just KOed Volk, ikram had a really fun fight last card, just not seeing where ppl are coming from
I don't mind it. I'm actually interested in who is actually the tougher fighter and grappling has to be taken into consideration, otherwise it wouldn't be a real fight. The question is how much time you are going to devote to each fighting style. I would just watch kickboxing if I wasn't interested in the grappling which is actually much harder to learn than striking, by and large.
You just got unlucky with the fights you were watching, watch Crawford vs Spence, Benavidez vs Plant, Inoue vs Fulton, Navarrete vs Valdez (all of these fights were this year) and then try to say that boxing is boring. Agree on the other points though.
Unpopular opinion: I thinks press conference with coaches, mentors, promoters, and commentators would be cool, but just do it separate from the fighters as an exclusive for Fight Pass or something.
ive never seen the appeal of boxing, its boring as. muay thai is 100s of times more entertaining than boxing, mma is more entertaining than muay thai.... why would anyone waste their time with boxing. "UUURGGHHH its a science!"
@@WARRIOR-uf8ovmma just as dead as boxing lol. Ain’t nobody watching combat sports like that compared to nba nfl mlb and soccer. Hell even ncaa bigger than ufc and boxing combined nowadays
Why is it rare in America for white people to talk about boxing today? While I am watching you talk about it, it is as if I am seeing a rare animal for the first time. I hope you will continue talking about boxing. We want to see a different thought talking about it other than the usual
Bro your hardcore criticizing a exhibition match this doesnt reflect boxing as a whole, tyson getting his ass whooped was well deserved too dudes been holding up the hw division for years
imo boxing is probably the most boring combat sport to watch, *maybe* bjj but even that can be entertaining. If you want entertaining striking just watch muay thai or kickboxing, way more entertaining in my opinion. Boxing could be good too but because of the promotions and everything I just can never get into it
The future of boxing events might just turn into mulitple combat sports within one event. With a couple of the fights being traditional boxing, a couple bare knuckle mma fights, along with a couple bare knuckle boxing fights thrown in.
Great video, I felt the exact same way waiting an hour between the co-main and the main event last night, i wanted to blow my brains out after hearing them tell 7 different random peoples life storys out, it was insufferable, literal torture to watch, UFC is 20x better
Do pay per view buyers really pay to watch anything other than the boxing match? The large amount of time waiting to get to the actual fight they paid for has to get annoying.
I still think boxing, the actual fight, is more entertaining to watch. I just can’t get excited about watching two dudes rub their balls on each other’s faces. That aside, yeah every other thing about out boxing is trash… the promotion and what seems like dozens of organizations is just awful.
This is the way you feel right up until you watch a boxing match. The amount of hugging they do in boxing is absolutely agonising, like watching paint fucking dry.
Also those three squares behind you look like wrinkled sheets and then your head casts a shadow on them so they look like wrinkled dirty sheets that are wet. Might wanna do some interior redecorating. With kindness ❤ lol
My favourite boxing promotion is world super series. Its a rapid action tournament that does away with the months and years of negotiations in regular pro boxing.
The fury v ngannou fight, I live in Perth, I got up at 4.30am because the internet said the main event starts at 5am, the fight didn’t start until 6.30 😂
fight was supposed to be 23:40 my time i arrived like 00:20 thinking i missed it realizing it havent even started yet just to wait an hour 01:20 for the fucking fight to finally start… that was weird ngl is that normal for boxing?
NAH NAh nah Lucas this is about how GREAT of a fighter Francis is , don't use this to smear Boxing is and how better MMA is, cause all the times we've seen MMA fighters trying boxing doesn't end up Well. Francis not only did that . But did against the Best Heavyweight alive!
There is so much about boxing that could be fixed with basically no downside, but BY FAR the most unforgivably simple thing is the fact they can't even be bothered to put together some pictures of the fighters on the card so fans get a face attached to the name. I'm not talking about making promo packages for every fighter, that would cost money and God forbid the PROMOTION should PROMOTE a fighter, all they have to do is copy a photo of the fighters and paste it next to their name. It would take an unpaid intern 10 minutes, and it could do literally nothing but get eyes on the fighters that nobody in boxing cares enough to talk about. Boxing is dying for a lot of reasons, but the least controversial one to fix is to put just the bare minimum effort towards showcasing fighters that aren't already champions. Boxing is dying because basically EVERYONE who isn't a champion is entirely unknown to the boxing audience, not just the casual audience, i mean everyone who isn't hardcore. Boring personalities end up making it to the top because there's no way of finding anyone interesting that the audience can get behind. Even if they're not good, if they end up with even a small fan base, that's more than they had before, and more people might pay for the card if there's even one fight outside the main event they care about. Boxing promoters are literally some of the most greedy people on earth yet they still can't be bothered to try to PROMOTE their own fighters even though they're just leaving money on the table at this point. There's so much wrong with boxing but that's the most unforgivable one because with minimal effort literally everyone could benefit.
I love Boxing and MMA, but at the end of the day I would rather people be forced to stand up and fight until they fall. MMA can have entire fights taken over by ground game, which is fun sometimes, but mostly boring.
Don’t even know who the best boxer is because they don’t even fight each other, oh I don’t want to fight this guy because I’m only getting this many million instead of this many milllions, I just need all the millions to fight, like bro it a joke
i hadn’t realized how good ufc production was until i started watching boxing it’s literally night and day

Boxing itself is a beautiful sport, but the politics ruin it so much
One of the biggest boxing failures is they fail to build any prospects. The UFC excels at that. Bo Nickal, Mohammad Mokaev, Umar Nurmagomedov. You know to watch these guys long before they get the title shot. In boxing, you don’t know who to watch until after they’ve won multiple belts. By the time I wanted to watch guys like Canelo or Gervonta Davis, they were already multiple time champs.
And we just saw Shara make his debut last week who was being really hyped up by the ufc, never heard a word about whose on the fury ngannou undercard or even co main
@@lilshrimp5781same with Pereira 2 years ago
No prospects? Curmel motion? Andy Cruz? Keyshawn Davis? Jaron ennis? Jared Anderson? Ben Whittaker? Xander zayas? How are there no prospects??
@@Z4NKA1 I don't mean there are no prospects at all. I mean that boxing promoters do very little to bring attention to prospects before they reach the big time.

As a dude who prefers watching boxing over mma Lucas is 100% correct. Boxing is so stuck in the stone ages with promotion its actually embarrassing, if they want to actually succeed 20+ years from now they need to do something ASAP, even though boxing does better numbers than the ufc(excluding mcgregor of course)how many of those dudes are old heads who won't be here in 30 years? The UFC has been killing it with promotion the past couple years and I guarantee if you ask a group of 20 year olds about top mma fighters, they would probably know about them more than top boxers. It's actually sad cause when the best fight the best it's really a beautiful sport.
You clearly don't watch a lot of boxing if you think all of boxing is in the stone ages with promotion when Canelo and AJ are massive superstars even with their setbacks. MMA has been struggling more lately than boxing due to many big fights not happening (it's main advantage over boxing) yet this one event happens and suddenly that's all been reversed. Being a tad emotional about it now.

As a much bigger mma fan than boxing I found myself dying laughing listening to this rant because EVERYTHING HES SAYING IS TRUE 😂
Boxing sucks because it’s so decentralized. UFC love them or hate them books the best fights have consistent production and has less politics. This makes for a better overall product.
I actually disagree. Boxing allows the freedom to explore all sorts of narratives that will never, ever, ever be explored in the ufc.
The ufc is cool and all, but it has a shelf life and it gets old rather easily.
I don't even watch it anymore. Couldn't care less.
I was about to be so disappointed that you didn’t go on a full on rant about the terrible production of the event yesterday. So glad to see this video
I don’t get it, time to time it’s proven boxing doesn’t go well with music concerts yet promotions keep doing it. We’re paying to see the fight nobody cares about lil baby wtf
It's only happened twice or three times ever in these freakshow events, why are you acting like it's a regular occurrence?
Everyone bitching about everything from last night found out why i gave up on boxing 10 years ago and i love boxing as a sport, ive boxed since i was a kid, but as a business it's terrible
Agreed. 20 years ago I was more interested in boxing and had only middling interest in the UFC. It's completely changed over the past two decades. I'll watch at least the main card of nearly every UFC events but only bother to check out a handful of boxing matches a year.
Lol you ain't gotta feel bad for us boxing fans. Tbh you will find a lot of boxing fans even rooting for Ngannou. Boxing is now more niche than mma, it ain't dying. Also this fight wasn't an L for boxing, just like Jake Paul KO against former UFC champs isn't really an L for the UFC 😅. I do agree the UFC does a better job promoting fights though, btw I'm in my 20s lol.
Also don't forget a lotta UFC guys be begging to get into boxing just to make a buck 😅
This UFC fans are awful
Trueee
Boxing press conferences show that boxers have too much cte to trash talk; they have to let their coaches and promoters talk the whole time.
Yea and I don’t think people realize that boxing is much worse for you than mma because of the cte and mainly headshots
Maybe it’s that boxers don’t need to trash talk to promote a fight. In ufc if you don’t trash talk you don’t sell. Pacquaio sold millions of PPVs without talking trash as well as many other boxers in his era.
That decision was absolutely disgusting this is exactly why Ill never take boxing serious its beyond corrupt and political
Boxing isn't scored like MMA, I was rooting for Ngannou but had it 6-4 Fury. It's not a fight it's a boxing match.
@@peps7724that’s why boxing is a dead sport. You can *touch* someone with grazing shots that do no damage but get rocked multiple times and win in boxing by points. Not a real fight, not a real sport.
Let's not act like mma doesn't have horrible decisions that benefit the superstars too...
@@djLagwayEnjoyerMMA is scored round by round and just as prone to the exact same situation. In fact it happens all the time when people complain about damage not being factored into MMA scoring enough.
@@djLagwayEnjoyer Yes, it annoying if you've ever fought in amateurs people get robbed all the time and the amateurs are a lot more legit than the pro's ironically.
I feel that the 10 rounds of 3 minutes is way too much. It would be better if they did 7 rounds of 4 or 5 minutes, and allow fighters to get in rhythm, this in my opinion would result in more finishes (which boxing has none) and it would shift the way fighters train and condition themselves for the fight.
Ikr, the rounds are fucking ridiculous. At least in kickboxing even though the rounds are short they only have 3-5 so the pace is high, and I wish kickboxing had more rounds
Agreed, for the lighter weights they can definitely push the pace and be more active throughout and boxing is way less cardio intensive then mma, but for these heavyweights 10 rounds is way too much
UFC fans between fights: Lemme take a piss real quick.
Boxing fans between fights: Lemme watch an episode of Stranger Things real quick.
Bro legit you hit all the points. The fucking concerts killed me like what the actual fuck.
I don’t mind waiting like 10-30 mins for transitioning to a main event but an hour or more is overdoing it
I’d prefer it to be 10 minutes over 30+ lol, 20 minutes is more than enough for the couple minute pre fight hype package to play and both guys to have walked out and be in the cage getting announced
When influencers did boxing. Boxing literally died for me there.
Jup. They are thr biggest goofies ever
They definitely killed it. It’s bringing more eyes to the sport but imo it’s negative and makes the sport out to be a joke just a really bad look. And on top of it ngannou might have just put the nail in the coffin for boxing. Boxing got better numbers now but when all these old heads aren’t around ufc gonna take over. Every single 10-20 year old right now knows about ufc way more then they do about boxing
oh yeah boxing is dead, sure...
@@Elgallo1107 UFC is declining too. New generations care less and less about fight sports.
@@LtCommanderTato I’d say ufc is doing much better with the younger generation. I’m 17 and all my friends and pretty much all the guys I meet my age know about ufc
The amount of rounds coupled with the fact that all the top boxers are terrified of getting an 0 on their record makes them so unbelievably gun shy that it just becomes a snooze fest
I’ve checked out mma, and I love it. I find boxing more entertaining but to be honest, y’all do everything else way better.
I thought the time between fights and walkouts were too long in ufc. After that snail race on Saturday, I'll pipe down.
Do you guys remember when Canelo wanted to fight Messi because Argetina won a game against Mexixo in the World Cup.
When Nelo retires they're going to be in trouble, they literally have ZERO names that will touch the height of Nelo when it comes to PPV sales. There is plenty of talent but no stars.
100% agree, watching the event yesterday with the wait times, between fights, the walkouts, it's brutal. I don't know how the crowd survived without alcohol, because i'd need to be piss drunk not to lose patience with all the waiting, 1000 interviewers all askibg the same questions.

Lucas doesn't really watch boxing like that.
That’s several there alone
Dang that’s crazy 4 big fights on one calendar year. That’s like 2 months for the UFC.
Oh so all the biggest PPV events? 😂😂😂
For me, Pacquiao was the last boxer that had a ton of excitement. That still doesn’t compare to MMA though
I agree mma is on the way to surpassing boxing. Definitely in the US. Boxing is alittle bit more complicated though. Imagine the UFC, PFL, Bellator and ONE all had the same amount of money and promotional power. It would be a fight to get the best fighters. Then it would be a fight to build up prospects and make them future stars. Fighter would have more options which for them is GREAT. It for fans that’s not always a positive. Fighters would avoid each other. Just like boxing and the similar problems that boxing has the mma community would have. MMA is so great in the states because the UFC pretty much has a monopoly and are the WWE of mma
Watching that last night was painful I’m an mma guy to and even fight in mma listening to those commentators in between the co main event, and main event mentioning how “Ronaldo is here, Kanye is here, Eminem is here” literally a few hundred times god it drove me insane, absolute CRAP!! Total circus it’s like WWE with boxing gloves on
The old head photos took me out bro 💀💀
Who ever put the event did a horrible job making us wait an extra hour to see them fight and a rap performance bro it’s unnecessary asf I’m so glad this ppv didn’t even do 100k buys they lost all the money paying off Tyson and ngannou
I watched MMA from the beginning of the UFC to about 5 years ago. It has become extremely boring with a bunch of generic fighters who all share the same 3 personalities. Virtually every card looks the same as the previous card, and the fans are also forced to watch women's MMA, which is terrible. Imagine going to an NBA basketball game, and 1 quarter of the game featured women's basketball, that's what you get with the UFC. Boxing also sucks, but there are some fights that I still look forward to. Not to mention Dana's mafia connection, and the fact that this mafia connection is why the fighters get robbed.
I love how he calls him Bob Arup instead of Arum 😂
UFC embedded is a genius idea and shows the personality of fighters
I hâte boxing press conferences so much
I’m my opinion boxing events are showing their age. Slow, drawn out and more about the money than anything else.
MMA, being younger, seems to be a pure a sporting event with hyped promotions and minimal politics onscreen. Of course a lot goes on behind the scenes.
Except when Dana White brings on the ex-president, they show up on the big screen on the arena, and the commentators are all talking about how much they love it lol these are the only moments where I feel like the UFC is being too political
@@TheSastokeNot really as he is just another celebrity at that moment. They show his face like any other celebrity. They dont have him do speeches or promotions.
@@TheSastoke even then, thats really the sort of respect former and sitting presidents always got until recently. They just show his face and him walking in not that different from how they show other celebrities
Shakur Stevenson just put the final nail in the coffin for me.
Fully agreed on your points but i think are few points in favor of boxing compared to MMA.
1. The Hype, while having so many belts and thus making top ranked boxers of each belt organization fight each other nevertheless it creates hype, can1 compare the hype Manny-Floyd had or Lewis-Tyson to any mma fight?
2. Competitive history of fighters - While boxing builds up numbers of top tier proteges (all of them basicaly starting automathicaly 20-0 before having a first top tier fight), that " 0 " in the record still does hype things up, Wilder beat mostly canes and same can be said for Fury before Wladimir but both of them were creating buzz before finally proving themselves, in MMA you are a novice with little or no amateur background(many mma fighters started late teens or even early 20s fighting, while most boxers start in teens and have 100+ amateur fights before becoming pro) , you win 4-5 fights(also can be cherry picked to boost the odds dependend of who is more marketable and future proof) and suddenly you are in the top tier(top5-8) fighter, and same goes for tittle defending, you defend your title for 3-4 times suddenly you are a GOAT contender, i swear to you lets say today Miocic,Jones and Cain are considered goats for the majority, stop watching MMA for 5 years and then come back you will have some1 else replace them
3. Missmatches - certinaly in boxing there are types of fighters (in/out etc) but they dont influence the fight nearly as in MMA, for example if one of the 2 fighters is top tier BJJ and the other one is a striker i can guarentee you the way the fight is gonna go, almost all the action will be on the ground or attempts to take it to the ground
Boxing is still great, it just needs to drop all the multiple titles and have one champion per division, get rid of all the national anthems boring the hell out of us, have better undercards like they did in the 90's and most importantly champions need to fight more often! Fighting once a year just kills any momentum a good fight or champion can have.
Honestly doubt any of those things will happen, what shocked me about boxing vs UFC is how many undefeated ranked fighters there are, I saw that was and was just fed up
Congratulations to Lucas for bringing back the sport of boxing.
There are 4 organizations, every event is centered on the main fight. There are always 6+ people talking at the press conference who don't even fight on the card. And when you watch it you always have to wait 30+ min between every fight
It’s a mission trying to find out the undercard fights on boxing events, when you search ufc you literally get a nice line up showing all the fights along with the upcoming events
So true how boxing people look down on MMA it’s pathetic.
Opposite
It’s usually mma fans(Lucas is one of them) who always look down in mma just look at mma channels/instapages amd you’ll see it’s mma fans looking down on boxing
And then after waiting more than an hour for the main event, we got Fury taking his sweet sweet ass time waking out. Like holy shit that was frustrating
Ufc is a Dana white show as WWE was a Vince McMahon show. Nothing interesting in ufc if to be a star, you must be a sheep for Dana. Also no money in ufc compared to boxing
No money?? Who is your dad? Your income is 100,000 yearly??
Lucas always haves me laughing so hard, arriving an hour after the co main 😂

So it works like this: the 'best guys' go through their careers crushing cans, like the Arslanbek guy yesterday TKOd a guy in a minute, then they all sit at the top of an arbitrary ranking, and then barely fight each other. This is how you get a couple of guys who are supposedly 'best in the world' like Fury, who then in turn gets exposed by an MMA fighter. Any other fucking sport in the world has a coherent, definitive table which says who sits where, based on the competitions held between them. But not in the worlds most crooked sport/scheme of professional boxing. I hate it because i think its a magnificent martial art,bl but it has been absolutely ruined by its present oligarchy of matchmakers and, also, of how little it has accepted to change since its beginnings
It's different now the best is fighting the best
Boxing fucking sucks 😴
Lmao boxing ain’t goin nowhere. UFC/MMA already peaked
This is so real bru W lucas 😂
I'm somewhat of a rare breed actually. I'm the type of guy who was always an MMA fan but slowly transitioned into more of a boxing fan. I still watch UFC alot because there are always good fights being made and I'm too curious to miss them but what made me slowly transition to boxing was I had enough of the wrestlefucking and laying and praying. I think the magomed ankalaev vs jan blachowiz and merab vs Yan really turned me off from mma. You know when people say if you don't like wrestling go watch boxing or kickboxing? Well I did lol, also because I'm training to become an amateur boxer in the future so that plays a part. But Lucas is still spot on, if only the UFC were to start doing boxing promotions then it would be the best thing ever with the way they market fighters and advertise cards
Yeah the dagestani fighting style of just wet blanket wrestling is so boring it’s insane, I always root for the striker to win 9/10 times
@@Z4NKA1 yeah and hearing islam say more kids from dagestan are training to become ufc fighters soon is not a good thing. Soon all we'll have is khabib copy pastes screaming inshallah brather and just lay on top of each other.
@@Z4NKA1 i feel like people overexaggerate how boring dagestani fighters are. Most of khabibs fights were great. Khamzat Chimaev gave us the fight of the year vs Burns. Islam just KOed Volk, ikram had a really fun fight last card, just not seeing where ppl are coming from
I don't mind it. I'm actually interested in who is actually the tougher fighter and grappling has to be taken into consideration, otherwise it wouldn't be a real fight. The question is how much time you are going to devote to each fighting style. I would just watch kickboxing if I wasn't interested in the grappling which is actually much harder to learn than striking, by and large.
I mean the UFC has a roster of over 100 fighters with unique styles. There are many kickboxers/boxers in there.
You just got unlucky with the fights you were watching, watch Crawford vs Spence, Benavidez vs Plant, Inoue vs Fulton, Navarrete vs Valdez (all of these fights were this year) and then try to say that boxing is boring. Agree on the other points though.
This video is about the production / promotion of boxing fights and how boring and terrible they are. He’s not calling boxing in itself boring.
It's been a dying sport for the last 10 years but we are still watching boxing. Thanks for the old news buddy
Unpopular opinion: I thinks press conference with coaches, mentors, promoters, and commentators would be cool, but just do it separate from the fighters as an exclusive for Fight Pass or something.

Great video, I felt the exact same way waiting an hour between the co-main and the main event last night, i wanted to blow my brains out after hearing them tell 7 different random peoples life storys out, it was insufferable, literal torture to watch, UFC is 20x better
Lucas forgot that the boxing promoters are all “crafty vets” and you can never underestimate the IQ of a crafty veteran like Bob Arum.
Do pay per view buyers really pay to watch anything other than the boxing match? The large amount of time waiting to get to the actual fight they paid for has to get annoying.
it is annoying which is percisely why i dont even bother watching the prelims and paying for the match, i just go on sketchy links lol
I like your content a lot just try to stop repeating yourself so much it’s just a little bit annoying
Dana does stupid things like the 250k gift to the Nelk boys and the Reebok deal but he did one hell of a job with the UFC
I still think boxing, the actual fight, is more entertaining to watch. I just can’t get excited about watching two dudes rub their balls on each other’s faces. That aside, yeah every other thing about out boxing is trash… the promotion and what seems like dozens of organizations is just awful.
This is the way you feel right up until you watch a boxing match. The amount of hugging they do in boxing is absolutely agonising, like watching paint fucking dry.

MMA definitely has the advantage of having one promoter and one organization overseeing the promotion.
NAH NAh nah Lucas this is about how GREAT of a fighter Francis is , don't use this to smear Boxing is and how better MMA is, cause all the times we've seen MMA fighters trying boxing doesn't end up Well. Francis not only did that . But did against the Best Heavyweight alive!
How do you think a boxer in a MMA cage would go lol. Its only a circus there is no deeper meaning to these events.
There is so much about boxing that could be fixed with basically no downside, but BY FAR the most unforgivably simple thing is the fact they can't even be bothered to put together some pictures of the fighters on the card so fans get a face attached to the name. I'm not talking about making promo packages for every fighter, that would cost money and God forbid the PROMOTION should PROMOTE a fighter, all they have to do is copy a photo of the fighters and paste it next to their name. It would take an unpaid intern 10 minutes, and it could do literally nothing but get eyes on the fighters that nobody in boxing cares enough to talk about. Boxing is dying for a lot of reasons, but the least controversial one to fix is to put just the bare minimum effort towards showcasing fighters that aren't already champions. Boxing is dying because basically EVERYONE who isn't a champion is entirely unknown to the boxing audience, not just the casual audience, i mean everyone who isn't hardcore. Boring personalities end up making it to the top because there's no way of finding anyone interesting that the audience can get behind. Even if they're not good, if they end up with even a small fan base, that's more than they had before, and more people might pay for the card if there's even one fight outside the main event they care about. Boxing promoters are literally some of the most greedy people on earth yet they still can't be bothered to try to PROMOTE their own fighters even though they're just leaving money on the table at this point. There's so much wrong with boxing but that's the most unforgivable one because with minimal effort literally everyone could benefit.
I love Boxing and MMA, but at the end of the day I would rather people be forced to stand up and fight until they fall. MMA can have entire fights taken over by ground game, which is fun sometimes, but mostly boring.
same i prefer watching Boxing and Kickboxing not UFC
Don’t even know who the best boxer is because they don’t even fight each other, oh I don’t want to fight this guy because I’m only getting this many million instead of this many milllions, I just need all the millions to fight, like bro it a joke
