Top 5 Reasons Why MMA is Better Than Boxing

As many people know MMA is getting uge not just in America but across the world, yet most sports have seemed to die down because of its success especially boxing, I personally love MMA and Boxing.

But really which would you pick to watch, I am going to tell you the top 5 reasons why MMA is better than Boxing.

#5 Youth involvement

As you know MMA is getting mainstream and more youth tend to drift toward it more than Boxing, because of the more you can do it, compared to boxing, older people love boxing because that was what they grew up on, the youth today love MMA because it seems to be the thing for them.

Youth love to rebel and take out their aggression, so MMA tends to be were they go, because they seem to not want to be at the same place their parents are, its their sport and not their parents and it makes it special to some in that way.

#4 Excitement

If you watch boxing you always see that one big knockout, but really in MMA you see that plus more, in boxing once someone falls down its pretty much over, but in MMA it seems to be the opposite, more and more fighters get knocked down and come back, therefore exciting the crowd.

The fights also tend to market their product alot, doing interviews and hyping things up, Boxers do that, but really its only the meeting of the two for pictures that they really market the product.

#3 Easy Access

Boxing is mainly a PPV thing, unless you have showtime, which not everyone has, MMA does have PPVs, but they have more fights than Boxing too, so instead of seeing one Boxing fight you see 3 or 4 MMA ones.

And UFC is one Spike so you see some of their old PPVs and some of their shows on so you get that for free, boxing never does that.

#2 Less Money to Watch

As I mentioned you see one Boxing match for the average of $50.00 and it could be over in an hour or 1 minute, so you basically wasting money by purchasing it, MMA like I said has TV shows all over different channels, such as Spike for UFC.

If you order a PPV for MMA you get more thats the only reason people prefer not getting Boxing, just thinking economically, we do have that problem in America.

#1 Boxing isn't as Appealing as MMA

If you watch boxing, its all punches, and maybe kicks if your lucky.MMA brings that plus wrestling, karate, and many other fighting styles into the fold. If you want to see the best fights you watch MMA.

Boxing doesn't appeal to the younger people, and some of the older generation, you can have submission victories, kick or knee to the head knockouts and your allowed to see blood, where as in boxing they stop the match if you get to bloody or swollen.

If you want to watch boxing that is cool, but if you want exciting, youth endorsed, economical big time fights, you'll watch MMA, sorry boxing your the past MMA is the present and future
