Why do boxers have so much more fights than mma guys?
That's just how it is
Because boxing is an open field unlike MMA which works in closed promotions.Once you arrive in the UFC or Bellator or whatever, you get matched up with the right guys and can quickly get a shot at the rankings if you keep winning.Meanwhile in boxing you have to make a name for yourself by having a good record, which includes a lot of cans to start.Also, back in the days boxers used to fight way more often because they didn't know abou CTE and shit,current top boxers also only fight 1 to 3 times a year.Also in MMA there are more potential injuries.
>>195485And why does boxing not have greedy promotions?
>>195485They didn't know getting your face bashed in for 10 rounds was bad. The fighters weren't the only ones with CTE
>>195529Try 110 roundshttps://sportsbrief.com/boxing/53054-what-longest-boxing-match-how-rounds/
>>195396MMA is far more destructive to the body. Boxing is more dangerous to the brain, but you don't get leg kicked and elbowed.Just look at the faces of boxers and MMA fighters after their fights.
>>195605>Just look at the faces of boxers and MMA fighters after their fights.Bad comparison. Gloves in boxing are literally designed to minimize chances of cuts. Look at the face of bareknuckle boxers and they look way worse than either MMA or boxers.
Because they're even bigger slaves to an even more crooked industry. The higher rate of brain damage isn't doing them any favours, either.
>>195529Cowards. The sumo lads headbutt each other at full speed 90 times a year, plus regional tours and training, and they've been doing it for centuries. Boxers are just soft.
>>201519And sumos die before their 60s usuallyGo get head trauma if you love it so much faggot
>>195396>>195605Muay Thai fighters have 300 fights or more.
>>201552Everyone here has head trauma, otherwise we'd be normal people who like normal, safe sports. The candle that burns twice as bright burns half as long.
>>195605>Shit, I left the chicken in the freezer.> I need to finish this guy quick and come back home.
