Proof? Can't say this without backing it up, you know that.

I appreciate that these are the countries most of you are from - but please try to understand that there is a wider world. MMA is unknown in the UK for example.

Funny the last Ultimate Fighter was US vs UK, so it's hardly unknown, but don't let real FACTS get in your way, you haven't yet.

I guarantee that not 1 in a 1000 people in the UK would have a clue who Randy Coutre is. Probably 75 out of 100 would know who Ricky Hatton was.

Again trying pawn off OPINION as fact.

Boxing is a global sport, huge in South America, Africa, Asia, Europe, North America and Australasia. MMA is really only popular in Eastern Europe, the far eastm and Northern America.

Really? Ever hear of BJJ? Last I checked Brazil is in South America. Again this is your OPINION, not a FACT, if it were fact you could prove it, so more bullshit.

Let me make it very clear, in a factual way that I think no one cam argue with, the difference between the popularity of boxing and MMA. From Google:
Results 1 - 10 of about 50,500,000 for "boxing" [definition]. (0.85 seconds)
Results 1 - 10 of about 7,500,000 for "mixed martial arts". (0.39 seconds)
There you go. Please go and try for yourself. Absolutely crystal clear, undisputed.

That proves what exactly? More throwing shit at the wall SF, still though none of it sticks.

So when people talk about MMA "burying" boxing... I think they should try and remember that the whole world is not two nations of the American contient (by the way, even in America boxing is more popular than MMA... Im not interested in pay for view figures which only the wealthy middle class can afford - why dont you instead ask how ma boxing gyms there are compared to how many MMA training schools...)

Can you actually prove any of this aside from saying it's a fact when in FACT it's just your OPINION? You haven't proven a bloody thing yet, other than your own ignorance of the sport. You're grasping at straws, throwing shit at the wall hoping it sticks, it really is getting quite tiring, try using some ACTUAL FACTS sometime, maybe then this thread won't be considered a joke, although I doubt that'll happen
