Why do mma fans hate boxing?

Look there is a reason that mma fans always bring on the boxing is diing and bla bla and boxing fans don't. Because boxing isn't bothered by some new sport that is never going to surpass boxing in any terms. UFC is a new trend and im sure it won't last long(on that level of popularity).

I disagree with your premise that MMA fans hate boxing. I'm an MMA fan (my son's an MMA fighter), and my son and I both like boxing. And I know plenty of other MMA fans who like boxing as well.

We recognize that it's two different sports. Different strategies, many different techniques, and so on.

As you've noted, the arguments you've cited (from supposed MMA fans) don't make much sense. For instance, the 3-minute rounds don't much matter. If it's a 10-round fight, that's 30 minutes of fighting. Most MMA matches are three 5-minute rounds, so that's 15 minutes maximum. In either case, a fighter who goes all out is going to be exhausted at the end.

As I said, I'm a boxing fan, too. However, there are some things about the sport that merit discussion, if not criticism. These include:

--The historic corruption in boxing. It's kind of tainted the sport.

--All the different sanctioning bodies. Can anyone keep them straight?

--All the different weight classes. Sure, there ought to be weight classes. But boxing seems to overdo it.

--The speed of boxing versus MMA. I'm not taking anything away from boxers with great footwork, quick hands, etc. But with the heavily-padded gloves, the tie-up tactics, etc., a lot of matches just move slowly from one round to the next, some solid punches but most having little effect, and the incessant tie-ups in the later rounds. The third round of an MMA fight likely is going to have a lot more action than the 10th round of a boxing match.

Still, that really isn't criticism. It's just a recognition that they're two different sports with somewhat different skill sets and strategies.

The competition between promotions, and a few incidents where Floyd Mayweather ripped on the UFC being a knockoff of boxing (though Dana White ripped Floyd twice for saying racist comments about an asian basketball player).

In addition to this, sports fans really do not get along at all. MMA fans, Wrestling fans, and Boxing fans never have. Boxing fans always start it with MMA fans, MMA fans always run their mouths to Wrestling fans, and Wrestling fans rip both sports for dissing it's own sport, so in the end, all three fanbases are actually quite terrible as far as it goes, but between MMA and Boxing, boxers usually are the first ones to run their mouths.

Dude stop talking , actually get up away from the computer screen and get some life experience, stop being a stereotypical dick, some fans like both. Hush your gums until you can prove every single boxing fan in the whole world hates mma, and i actually think dana white is good for Ufc he has business sense however he is like the don king of mma, he ruins the global sport but has made it affluent in america. However i think the as real as it gets tag line i bs, vale tudo comps in brazil is a real as it gets. Dana can talk **** about boxing all he wants, he still recognises boxers make more money and bug name ppv own the ufc's, also i think dana is bitter he never made it as a pro, remember he used to be an amateur boxer. But MMA as a whole i love it, not as much a boxing, but still i love it. I still like watching the old pride fights but despair at having to defend all non ufc fighters against american fanboys, they bash fedor yet have never seen any of his fights, they don't even know barnett. I mean common the one thing i have to say about Y/A is at least the boxing fans know their stuff.

Everybody Hates Boxing

You sound like someone that just dislikes MMA. I have yet to hear any MMA fighters trash boxing except when answering back to a boxer trashing MMA. As for this whole stupid and I mean stupid argument about MMA vs Boxing all I can say is that its a big waste of time. Its like comparing Hockey vs Football. Now I know your talking fans, but seriously saying all MMA fans make those statements is just plain false. Do all Boxing fans make statements like yours?

MMA fanboys hate everything bro. I had a long youtube comment "discussion" with a fanboy once. His whole argument was that I was the c word, and MMA is superior. You have to realize they have unusually small brains, and never got over the first time daddy took them to their first UFC fight to watch.

boxing overdone and has alot of boring fights. fixed fights fighters over paided and etc.
