Anthems and Protests ---
While we certainly understand the frustration by fans on all sides of the discussion, we have decided to keep the Broncos Country message boards separate from politics. Recent events have brought the NFL to the forefront of political debates, but due to the highly emotional and passionate discussion it tends to involve, we think it’s best to continue to keep politics and this forum separate. Yes, the forum is meant for discussion, but we’d like to keep that discussion to football as much as possible.
With everything going on in our country, it would be nice to keep our complaints and cheers purely related to football here. If you feel passionately, there are plenty of other outlets available to you to express your opinions. We know this isn’t the most popular decision, but we ask that you respect it.
Thank you for understanding.

Do you know how to read? The gif I posted wasn't posted it just to be posted.
I didn't read a single thing you've posted in this thread, when I say you bring up past events, it because you did often bring up Tyson whom didn't fight in 2011. Neither did Evander.

You should have read because the fight (Boxing) in 2011 had 500 million viewers..that's why........
And the most watched UFC fights? 6.5 million and 8.8 million...
how are you going to make an argument based on NOTHING?!
I'm not sure which is declining faster: your argument or boxing's relevance.
Convince me that a sport (UFC) that at it's most could generate 8.8 million viewers in 1 match is gaining leverage on a sport (Boxing) that generated 500 million viewers in one match.
I understand why MMA is so popular today. It's very accessible because of how visually appealing it is. You don't have to have an understanding of what each fighter is/is not doing for it to be gratifying. Simple and violent. I have utmost respect for MMA fighters and what they do. To each his own, as they say. That being said, I will never be a big MMA fan. I enjoy watching it from time to time, but I will never take it too seriously. I have my reasons, just as others have their reasons to dislike boxing.
Though the corruption in boxing has been significant in eroding at the integrity of the sport, it does not mean that great fights are not possible. A great fight is not about the popularity of the fighters. Those who can not appreciate fights like Berto/Ortiz, Kirkland/Angulo, or even the brilliance of Floyd Mayweather should be watching MMA and not boxing. Two different sports and often two different audiences. To each his own.
How is MMA more popular when the main even in Boxing generated 500 million viewers and the most watched UFC fight ever generated 8.8 million viewers.
PLEASE EXPLAIN.
LMAO! You are quoting from Worldwide News Ukraine. Very reliable. AND Boxingscene.com. No bias huh? All 3 have the exact same quotes meaning they didn't even bother to write their own original piece. It's called over inflating numbers to generate interest. I would believe if I saw actual official numbers not some 3rd world country rag and a boxing website.
Again. MMA fighters would destroy any boxer with ease.
You just keep watching your OLD boring boxing matches. While the rest of us will watch MMA. Oh another thing... Klitschko VS Haye in 2011? Um who the hell are they?

Who cares if an MMA fighter would beat them up? Do you even know what this argument is about? 5
And if you were even paying attention to Boxing you would have seen many of articles on how many viewers watched it.
How is MMA exciting? the good fighters go what 5-15 minutes every 9 months? How the hell is that exciting?
And like I said. Boxing is dead in America but NOT outside of America=5% of the world's population.
MMA is a joke. It can't even beat out Golf. How will it ever get popular in a world that doesn't care for it and in a country that already has 5 sports ahead of it?
MMA is a joke. So much so they relied on WWE leftovers to bring some REAL attention to the sport. My friends didn't even know UFC existed until Lesnar and he was the only they cared about and now they couldn't give a poop that he's gone.
