Ok it's saturday afternoon and I just watched some boxing on tv. I don't even remember who was boxing. But it got me thinking about the evolution of fighting sports and why mma is so popular. And why basically is taking the place of boxing in PPV buys and more popular. First the leeaches haven't attached themselves to the fighters. The fighters fight because they love to fight. Some guys hold down a regular job and fight every chance they get. Alot run studios that teach a system. And all MMA fighters are hybrids. Meaning they were really great at one thing, wether it was striking, wrestling, or thai boxing. And cross trained into other things that wasn't there dicipline. Being trained in all of those makes for a better fighter. And closer to a real street fight than boxing does. Which makes the fights more exciting. When you can't just sit there and hold forever if you are getting your teeth knocked out. Or lay on the ground forever so you won't get punched. It is an evolution in fighting. And you will really see it in the next 10 years. When kids are pure cross-trained in everything and not hybrids. That is when you will start seeing real superstars of mma. And boxing the way it is now, will fade into a distant memory..
