@@brandonrothsman2665facts. There’s a reason why if you watch any big boxing fight during the main card and prelims the arenas are empty right until the main event nobody wants to watch boring decisions when you watch ufc you get bangers every single. Are there boring fights? Sure I’d be lying if I said no but they have so many great fights that happen. Great example Cub Swanson vs Doo Ho Choi was a prelim main event I believe. It’s now in the UFC hall of fame. I went to my first event last year and was there start to finish and the whole crowd showed up by the first fight (UFC Columbus) literally such a great atmosphere.
This guy is right about one thing. MMA promotions other than the UFC are trash. They may have great fights, but they’re not as huge as the UFC. The UFC is the Google of MMA promotions. They are so big that casuals will refer to MMA as “UFC”
The average MMA fighter has amateur level boxing, but the average boxer has no takedown defence. It’s not about who will beat who at what, it just matters who will do better in their own sport.
TKO by leg kick after less than 10 calf or thigh kicks. Or just take them down because boxers can't defend takedowns. Both options are outside a boxer's effective range.
That’s the whole point ufc doesn’t limit fighters to one martial art many biz fighters incorporate many parts of boxing but like Joe said boxing is not everything in a real fight ufc is about who would win a real fight
Not really....boxing hasn't exactly been swallowed up like Rogan predicted...I do love MMA but of the 10 biggest PPV events ever, 7 of them are boxing. When a UFC event gets more PPV buys than Mayweather/Pacquiao, I'd say yeah, Rogan was right.
@@ulaytube9953 I don't know... 2 weeks ago, during the Canelo-Kovalev event, MGM Grand literally stopped the event in order to play the Masvidal-Diaz event on the big screen. That was one of the biggest embarrassments the sport of boxing has ever taken. They waited until the Masvidal-Diaz fight was done, in order to start the main event.
What a great moment between Joe and Lou at the end. Went at each other for 5 mins each making great points and making some counters, still manage to end in a genuinely warm and friendly way.
@@user-lz2mt5nc9e look in the mirror. If you're going off body language boxing guy clearly wasn't "friendly" with Joe but okay, guess I can read better than you. Didn't say they weren't "friendly" but "warm and friendly" it was not.
@@mythiclegend947 "Warm and friendly" is relative. They ended off a lot warmer and friendlier than during their debate. You clearly thought it was pure sarcasm (which is defined as "use of irony to mock or convey contempt.") when Joe said he loved him and sent him a kiss, but it was clearly just a humorous and friendly gesture which you could easily see in Joe's eyes if you were not incapable of body language.
When it comes to debates, heckling, outwitting, and trolling other sportscasters, Joe is a trained fighter. He deals with hecklers and idiots for years because of stand up comedy. So easy to see how this guy never stood a chance.
@Kevin C something he was extremely passionate about wasn’t huge yet but growing and it was being attacked so he had to fight back. Now he can relax that it’s a huge sport

A month mixed cards could have Crawford fighting one month then next got Joshua and wilder as main event: fury usyk Would take a lot of doing and a LOT of money but it’s possible
@@FMoss-he1ke Lol yeah, PBC on Fox & Showtime, Top Rank and UK Warren cards on ESPN, Golden Boy and Matchroom on DAZN. "B..b..b...but HBO dropped boxing so it must be dead"
Its so very true what Joe says, boxing is a singular martial art and a very limited form of fighting. Plenty of fighters just tie up in the clinch constantly to avoid the action (makes the fights very boring to watch) which eliminates any threat to them and the referee has to physically seperate them in order for the fight to continue. Sure there are clinches in mma and even fighters who hold opponents against the cage for entire rounds, but they constantly have to worry about knees, elbows, takedowns, footsweeps, trips, strikes off the break etc.
Let's be honest here. Boxing is still more popular than UFC, and I think most people do think boxing is more athetically pleasing. Watching mike tyson punching the souls out of people, is more entertaining than people rolling on the ground.... yes jujutsu's technicality has its appeal, but so is boxing's technicality... but Tyson's knock out is still overall more entertaining for most people. Also there are still a lot more house-hold popular name in boxing than such names in UFC.
@@bohanxu6125 How often does a knockout like that happen though? and even when it does, its usually a big prospect against some bum they're set up to beat
@@bohanxu6125Mike Tyson fought in the 1980s, he was fighting as many as 6 times in a year. Nowadays you’re lucky to squeeze 2 fights annually out of a PPV star. Comparing the Tyson era to modern boxing is a fallacy. Modern boxing is nothing but paper thin fight cards, clinchfests, early stoppages, decisions, and bag chasers, and btw it’s **AESTHETICALLY** pleasing. not “athetically” which isn’t even a real word.
@@bohanxu6125I don't think so bud. Go up to any average person and ask them if they actually watch or care about boxing. There's not even any stars or notable names on boxing, it's all guys that were already big names like 10 years ago. There's no new exciting talent, except for the Paul brothers and THAT is a sad statement of affairs for boxing.

Joe definitely changed his stance on elbows. He amongst all MMA fans know elbows are awesome and crucial 💪 he was incorrect about boxing having no new celebrities but maybe he was just selling the UFC over boxing here
He's not wrong though, boxings biggest name right now is RUclipsr turned Amateur fighter Jake Paul, throw in a Tyson Fury and a Deontay Wilder and you've reached the limit of the household names boxing has produced since that interview, I've lost count of the amount of UFC household names we know since that interview so I'll just go Ronda Rousy, Amanda Nunez, Connor McGregor and Khabib but that doesn't even scratch the surface
@@rus778 Floyd was known at the time of the interview, since that interview there's only been a handful of boxers known outside of hardcore boxing enthusiast circles
@@DJones-uk3hg They only UFC household name is McGregor. Nobody who isn't a MMA fan would be able to name many, if any, others. Conor McGregor is also more famous for his big mouth rather than his actual fights. Nobody outside of MMA or combat sports fans knows who the fuck Khabib or Nunez are dude get real lmao.
I remember being at the barbershop years ago and my barber talking about what Joe Rogan said. JR is correct it is much more exciting than boxing it just is. I doubt the sport of boxing disappears it will probably just be 2nd to MMA for the rest of time though.
@I like Potatoes the context of argument is different lol XD but anyways if you wanna talk about money took close to 100 years for boxing to come to this stage
Markyz what is this notion that the older something is the more revenue will be had in said sport ? You do realaize the Canadian football league has been around since the 1900s and those dudes are barely making 60,000-150,000 (top players)grand a year , opposed to their nfl counter parts (a league that is younger) 15,000,000- 50,000,000
The_red_ barron and sure a boxer has power but don’t forget fighters take way more punishment in mma so they are alot tougher a boxer couldn’t do much even if you have a good boxer
@@the_red_barron1002 im more of a boxing fan then I am a ufc fan and even I think that statement is fucking retarded Most ufc guys are black belts and sub mission expert's and some animal mo fuckers, thats why you wouldn't see the likes of floyd get into a cage
@@hipdrive Yeah Mcgregor who hasnt fought in two and a half years and hasnt won in nearly four. If you compare actual active stars who can win fights at elite level we are talking Jones, Izzy, O'Malley, Volk, Colby, Usman etc vs Canelo, Fury, AJ, Spence, Crawford, Tank, Usyk etc.
"we messed up our sport on our own" -DiBella said the quiet part out loud. Things have been getting better and 2023 so far has been and is outlooked to be a great year for the sport. UFC on the other hand has been absolutely killing it and their consistency and rate at which they produce massive fights I believe is what made boxing promoters get off their ass and finally make the fights that the fans want to see happen. I'm looking forward to July 29, massive day for combat sports as a whole. ESJ vs. Crawford and UFC 291.
I love boxing so much! And I barely follow the UFC, what I can say is you really got to respect Dana White and McGregor + all the others who really carried the Ultimate fighting brand. I really hope that there is a big revival in the sport of boxing like Formula 1...speaking of which you can love F1 and also love Moto GP or Daytona 500 they are similar but also different and very entertaining in their own way
The funny thing is he talks way more about boxing on his podcasts than MMA, and is a true boxing fan. Maybe he always was but you don't hear him this passionate about the UFC and MMA anymore, he loves having boxers and boxing personalities on his podcasts and loves talking about boxing way more than MMA.
And its not working out very well at all so far. Putting PPV behind a subscription service paywall and not even making the buyrates public anymore. TV ratings the same or lower than they were on friggin Spike in like 2007. Getting on ESPN wasnt all it was cracked up to be.
Joe was right MMA is much bigger than boxing today even growing up not interested in martial arts i only knew mcregor and jon jones as fighters. From boxing i only knew Muhammed Ali and Mike tyson.
😂😂😂😂 canelo is literally all over Michelob Ultra ads all over the US. If the last boxing name you knew was Mike then you were never a boxing fan to begin with. Go outside.
@@josevillalobos663 lmao I'm going to assume you're joking. Only 3 things have made waves in the world of boxing in the last 10 years. Those are: Deontay Wilder, the logan paul ksi match, and conor mcgregor boxing floyd mayweather. One of those is two vloggers boxing each other and the big one is a UFC fighter agreeing to box a scared floyd mayweather. Nobody hates boxing, its alright, but the rampant fixing, cheating, and guys ducking fights against an opponent they're afraid of has all made boxing a tired, played out sport that barely moves the needle. UFC is almost incomprehensibly successful because it's so ahead of the curve. It has some of the best athletes/ martial artists in the world competing in a fresh , multifaceted, dynamic, impressive real fight, and people absolutely love it. Its changing the sports world. Theres a reason why the Fertitta brothers bought the UFC in 2001 for 2 million dollars and then sold it 16 years later for 9 billion dollars. That is absolutely unprecedented. Boxing isn't even remotely close
dylan farnum The only fighter that came close to boxing money is mcgregor. And that was against a boxer. You have the canelos with 365 million dollar deals, the ggg’s 130 million dollar deal, the Ruiz’s, the joshuas with 80 million dollars in a fight. The Garcia’s, the wilders, the fury’s, the Spences, the Crawford, the pacquiao, the mayweathers, etc. And I can go on and on, all of them making double digit millions per fight! While mcgregor the biggest ufc star just got paid 3 million this past Saturday for his fight!!! So how you gonna tell me ufc is bigger? Which one haves more revenue? Revenue comes from popularity, views!
No he didnt... Of course Rogan has a point MMA fighter are more balanced (well not all)... but that didnt make them the best exponents in every aspect of the fight...
there is old money in boxing... boxing is also very political. It will soon be what joe rogan is saying. look at mcgregor vs diaz fights... everyone wanted too see it. now mcgregor and diaz have a bargaining chip to get paid more money. It will soon happen where UFC fighters are making big, big money!!!
maybe to a casual the ufc is the draw. with only like 4 months of really following it and being a fan I knew everyone on ufc 205 and saw all their previous fights. Connor is about to own stock too and that will make a fighters union possible with company benefits and everything. they should be paid way more and get rid of that stupid fucking rebok deal
I agree with Joe mostly here with the exception of the fact that there would not be new boxing stars since this interview took place. There’s a lot of great young boxing stars right now. I’m happy to see both MMA and boxing doing so well right now. It’s a great time to be a martial arts fan.
@@30h5tillimdead never said that I just don't claim stupid shit ad being savage... I acknowledge actually savagery as someone who like kills ppl n shit not someone who says he's doesn't own shit? What lol like how is that savage... Joe himself has said way more savage shit
12 years later Mayweather is fighting RUclipsr Logan Paul. Mike Tyson and Roy Jones just had an exhibition match. Old legends of the sport the only guys who can bring in the boxing views. UFC still growing exponentially. Boxing slowly dying.
UFC fans have been saying boxing is dying for the past 20 years when their biggest star of all time had to come to boxing for he’s biggest paycheck. I love both sports but boxing will never die. I wish they stopped caring so much about going undefeated in boxing though, that’s what I like about the UFC.. but make no mistake when big boxing fights happen the world stops. They may happen less frequently than UFC fights but when they do happen it tends to be bigger, and that’ll never stop.
Fury/Wilder 2 did 1.2 million PPV buys in February btw. Also ive been an MMA fan for 20 years and this "MMA is growing" thing is so overplayed and inaccurate. MMA peaked in popularity in America around 10 years ago, it has grown somewhat internationally after that but its not anymore popular now globally than it was 5 years ago when Conor and Ronda were there. People dont seem to understand what growth means, nor what dying means.
@@KD-yb4xu You are correct and my original comment didn’t mean it would die at completely. There will always be a market for boxing and certain fights that bring in a big draw. The difference. I watch 30-40 UFC fights a month and an occasional boxing match every month or two.
@@ministryOFmuff UFC is running 20-30 fights weekly... There is always going to be that 1 big boxing match of the year that brings eyes. It isn’t replicated on a weekly or even monthly basis. I love the UFC, watch every weekend, but also tune in for those big annual boxing fights.
@@mchase4 UFC is not running 20-30 fights weekly. It runs around 40 events per year with 10-12 fights per card. why are you making things up? big fights arent replicated on a weekly basis in the UFC either. This weekend is the first proper big card UFC card since the Khabib one in late October. The biggest fights in the 7 weeks (and 6 cards) since then have been Felder/RDA, Glover/Santos, Hall/Silva and Figuereido/Perez. In the same time frame boxing had Spence/Garcia, Crawford/Brook, Joyce/Dubois, Tank/LSC and Tyson/RJJ. The UFCs schedule for the rest of the year has Saturdays big(ish) card and then one more decent card with Aldo and Wonderboy on it, meanwhile in boxing Canelo, AJ and GGG are all fighting this month. Basically, you're making things up and misrepresenting things.
@@sphinxanime6823 I think you were meaning to say MMA. Regardless, doesnt change the fact that 90% of the fanbase was white until relatively recent history. I know, I was there.
Crazy that a decade later both of them were right and wrong😂 Joe saying no new stars would rise in boxing: Ryan Garcia, tank, Canelo, Pac-Man etc. and Lou saying the ufc had a monopoly over the mma scene and now there’s a huge class action lawsuit against them for that specific reason
I mean those guys are famous but only to people who actually watch boxing you can know a guy like connor mcgregor and not even watch a single ufc highlight their famous to boxing fans lol
Years later and the ufc has turned into the peak of martial arts, no longer just brawlers, but skilled technical jui jujitsu, karate, taekwondo, kickboxers, etc.
So the announcement of a 43 year old whos been retired from serious competition for 5 years having a novetly boxing match is the "final nail in the coffin for boxing". What about when Ali fought a pro wrestler? what about when Larry Holmes came out of retirement to fight Butterbean? what about when Foreman fought 3 random guys in the same night? Btw as stupid as this Logan Paul shit is it'll probably do the biggest PPV numbers of the year in either sport.
Jake Punk needs to box a professional boxer his size or bigger AND WIN before he can start acting like he’s the greatest thing since I sliced bread. Cause right now he’s the worst thing since UNsliced bread.
Yea that is a ridiculous thing to say when comparing the two. Show me 1 guy in the UFC who doesn't have good defence. He would get knocked out or taken down within seconds.
Joe also is so educated about boxing too. He’s not even being cocky. This guy is hating on ufc and Rogan is keeping a level head. But he has tons of respect for great boxers.
I mean. Let's be honest. The sport doesn't make it great. The athletes do. Wrestling is still huge. Why? They have some of the best athlete entertainers.
What speak volumes is amount of PPV buys and if you exclude Floyd, UFC is actually doing better than boxing, considering that it's still very new sport it's massive success.
@Don Jon @Don Jon Oh really and when did Boxing start? Compare that with MMA, it takes time to create a fanbase like boxing. Boxing is doing better but it's numbers are going down. Not sure why you think that is a valid argument. I only watched boxing from 2000 till 2017. Then I discovered MMA. I stopped with boxing completely, martial arts is so much more than only boxing.
@Don Jon I see your point but you are to focused on here and now. MMA still will grow many people like me didn't know orgs like UFC exist. MMA has still allot of time and it doesn't really need stars I'm talking about martial arts in general is just more exciting to watch than only a small portion of martial arts like boxing.
He made an idiot of himself. Notice when he says there will be no new stars after the guys that were big then the names he mentions are Oscar De La Hoya, Bernard Hopkins and Jermain Taylor. You know why? because Floyd and Manny blew up after the interview lmao. But sure, it aged so well.
@@ericgalvez7143 Yeah literally two of the biggest boxing stars ever. Who fought each other in the biggest drawing PPV fight of all time. Then after them Canelo, GGG, Loma, Joshua etc blew up too and MMA STILL hasnt swallowed boxing 11 years later. Aged so well! lol. Btw Rogan himself talks about boxing regularly on his podcast these days and recently had both Tyson Fury and Deontay Wilder on there. A few years back he even admitted that the UFC instructed him to say that stuff in this interview and he didnt even agree with it himself.
@@Alec-wm7tf White America is not the world. Also your "you hear about these names because you watch boxing" and "everyone forgets about boxing until the next fight" ALSO APPLIES TO MMA. The average person that doesnt follow MMA only knows Conor, and Conors biggest ever PPV buys (by far) and exposure came from a boxing match. Nobody really gives a shit about MMA when Conor isnt fighting, and hes had one MMA fight in the last two years. As for HBO, they folded because their competitors put them out of business and presumably because they wanted to focus on entertainment shows rather than sports. Floyd left them for Showtime in 2013, Top Rank left them for ESPN in 2017 and Canelo left them for DAZN not long before they decided they were quitting. MMA fans wanna gloat about it and make it seem like HBO cancelled because nobody is watching boxing anymore, when in reality boxing still pulls in slightly higher overall ratings - even HBO in its final year was doing comparable ratings to the UFC. Its kinda like how MMA fans are doing the whole "we got an ESPN deal" thing seemingly unaware that boxing is already on ESPN...
@@navajo237 Your comment sounded like you got jumpy thats why i said what i said lol anywho I understand Conor likes money nothing wrong with that but Mayweather talked about getting into the octagon twice but he never did thats what IM talking about, im frustrated cause id love to see Mayweather challenge his skills in the octagon

What? UFC has been going nowhere for 5 years, whilst boxing keeps churning out superstars. Lou was right, the BIG problem MMA has is that it's dominated by one company.
I swear people seem to project viewpoints onto Lou that he never even actually said lol. All he pretty much said was MMA is its own thing separate to boxing, it has a niche with college age white males (which was 100% true then but not so much now) and that boxing couldnt market itself on ESPN with the same presentation that the UFC had at that time, again something that was pretty true then but not so much now. He never said the sport would die or anything like that, it was Joe that was saying that kind of shit.

i love how at the end they both end on a pretty good note
Its so very true what Joe says, boxing is a singular martial art and a very limited form of fighting. Plenty of fighters just tie up in the clinch constantly to avoid the action (makes the fights very boring to watch) which eliminates any threat to them and the referee has to physically seperate them in order for the fight to continue. Sure there are clinches in mma and even fighters who hold opponents against the cage for entire rounds, but they constantly have to worry about knees, elbows, takedowns, footsweeps, trips, strikes off the break etc.
Let's be honest here. Boxing is still more popular than UFC, and I think most people do think boxing is more athetically pleasing. Watching mike tyson punching the souls out of people, is more entertaining than people rolling on the ground.... yes jujutsu's technicality has its appeal, but so is boxing's technicality... but Tyson's knock out is still overall more entertaining for most people.
Also there are still a lot more house-hold popular name in boxing than such names in UFC.
Two words... Francis ngannou, you don't need boxings limited ruleset to have devastating knockout punches.
@@bohanxu6125 How often does a knockout like that happen though? and even when it does, its usually a big prospect against some bum they're set up to beat
@@bohanxu6125Mike Tyson fought in the 1980s, he was fighting as many as 6 times in a year. Nowadays you’re lucky to squeeze 2 fights annually out of a PPV star. Comparing the Tyson era to modern boxing is a fallacy. Modern boxing is nothing but paper thin fight cards, clinchfests, early stoppages, decisions, and bag chasers, and btw it’s **AESTHETICALLY** pleasing. not “athetically” which isn’t even a real word.
@@bohanxu6125I don't think so bud. Go up to any average person and ask them if they actually watch or care about boxing. There's not even any stars or notable names on boxing, it's all guys that were already big names like 10 years ago. There's no new exciting talent, except for the Paul brothers and THAT is a sad statement of affairs for boxing.

Those are: Deontay Wilder, the logan paul ksi match, and conor mcgregor boxing floyd mayweather. One of those is two vloggers boxing each other and the big one is a UFC fighter agreeing to box a scared floyd mayweather. Nobody hates boxing, its alright, but the rampant fixing, cheating, and guys ducking fights against an opponent they're afraid of has all made boxing a tired, played out sport that barely moves the needle. UFC is almost incomprehensibly successful because it's so ahead of the curve. It has some of the best athletes/ martial artists in the world competing in a fresh , multifaceted, dynamic, impressive real fight, and people absolutely love it. Its changing the sports world. Theres a reason why the Fertitta brothers bought the UFC in 2001 for 2 million dollars and then sold it 16 years later for 9 billion dollars. That is absolutely unprecedented. Boxing isn't even remotely close
dylan farnum
The only fighter that came close to boxing money is mcgregor. And that was against a boxer. You have the canelos with 365 million dollar deals, the ggg’s 130 million dollar deal, the Ruiz’s, the joshuas with 80 million dollars in a fight. The Garcia’s, the wilders, the fury’s, the Spences, the Crawford, the pacquiao, the mayweathers, etc. And I can go on and on, all of them making double digit millions per fight! While mcgregor the biggest ufc star just got paid 3 million this past Saturday for his fight!!! So how you gonna tell me ufc is bigger? Which one haves more revenue? Revenue comes from popularity, views!
Rogan verbally assassinated that dude wow!!
No he didnt... Of course Rogan has a point MMA fighter are more balanced (well not all)... but that didnt make them the best exponents in every aspect of the fight...
there is old money in boxing... boxing is also very political. It will soon be what joe rogan is saying. look at mcgregor vs diaz fights... everyone wanted too see it. now mcgregor and diaz have a bargaining chip to get paid more money. It will soon happen where UFC fighters are making big, big money!!!
maybe to a casual the ufc is the draw. with only like 4 months of really following it and being a fan I knew everyone on ufc 205 and saw all their previous fights. Connor is about to own stock too and that will make a fighters union possible with company benefits and everything. they should be paid way more and get rid of that stupid fucking rebok deal

12 years later Mayweather is fighting RUclipsr Logan Paul. Mike Tyson and Roy Jones just had an exhibition match. Old legends of the sport the only guys who can bring in the boxing views. UFC still growing exponentially. Boxing slowly dying.
UFC fans have been saying boxing is dying for the past 20 years when their biggest star of all time had to come to boxing for he’s biggest paycheck. I love both sports but boxing will never die. I wish they stopped caring so much about going undefeated in boxing though, that’s what I like about the UFC.. but make no mistake when big boxing fights happen the world stops. They may happen less frequently than UFC fights but when they do happen it tends to be bigger, and that’ll never stop.
Fury/Wilder 2 did 1.2 million PPV buys in February btw. Also ive been an MMA fan for 20 years and this "MMA is growing" thing is so overplayed and inaccurate. MMA peaked in popularity in America around 10 years ago, it has grown somewhat internationally after that but its not anymore popular now globally than it was 5 years ago when Conor and Ronda were there. People dont seem to understand what growth means, nor what dying means.
@@KD-yb4xu You are correct and my original comment didn’t mean it would die at completely. There will always be a market for boxing and certain fights that bring in a big draw. The difference. I watch 30-40 UFC fights a month and an occasional boxing match every month or two.

@@mchase4 UFC is not running 20-30 fights weekly. It runs around 40 events per year with 10-12 fights per card. why are you making things up? big fights arent replicated on a weekly basis in the UFC either. This weekend is the first proper big card UFC card since the Khabib one in late October. The biggest fights in the 7 weeks (and 6 cards) since then have been Felder/RDA, Glover/Santos, Hall/Silva and Figuereido/Perez. In the same time frame boxing had Spence/Garcia, Crawford/Brook, Joyce/Dubois, Tank/LSC and Tyson/RJJ. The UFCs schedule for the rest of the year has Saturdays big(ish) card and then one more decent card with Aldo and Wonderboy on it, meanwhile in boxing Canelo, AJ and GGG are all fighting this month.

What speak volumes is amount of PPV buys and if you exclude Floyd, UFC is actually doing better than boxing, considering that it's still very new sport it's massive success.
The only reason for that is that boomer business men old heads can't handle mma and they'll support boxing to the death
please bring these two together and have the same debate in 2019
A B the guy is a fan of mma now
See if you can stop Joe from slobbering all over current boxers on his podcast for long enough to do it.
Yeah, he admitted to liking mma now
@Don Jon @Don Jon Oh really and when did Boxing start? Compare that with MMA, it takes time to create a fanbase like boxing. Boxing is doing better but it's numbers are going down. Not sure why you think that is a valid argument. I only watched boxing from 2000 till 2017. Then I discovered MMA. I stopped with boxing completely, martial arts is so much more than only boxing.
@Don Jon I see your point but you are to focused on here and now. MMA still will grow many people like me didn't know orgs like UFC exist. MMA has still allot of time and it doesn't really need stars I'm talking about martial arts in general is just more exciting to watch than only a small portion of martial arts like boxing.
Joe: Hold my blunt I’m about to end this mans life
**hold my joint
The other dude was right tho
stoner simpson both
Keeps aging like fine wine
This aged well for my boy joe rogan HAHA
Central Intelligence Agency agreed
He made an idiot of himself. Notice when he says there will be no new stars after the guys that were big then the names he mentions are Oscar De La Hoya, Bernard Hopkins and Jermain Taylor. You know why? because Floyd and Manny blew up after the interview lmao. But sure, it aged so well.
@@ministryOFmuff 2 people lol still aged well
@@ericgalvez7143 Yeah literally two of the biggest boxing stars ever. Who fought each other in the biggest drawing PPV fight of all time. Then after them Canelo, GGG, Loma, Joshua etc blew up too and MMA STILL hasnt swallowed boxing 11 years later. Aged so well! lol.
Btw Rogan himself talks about boxing regularly on his podcast these days and recently had both Tyson Fury and Deontay Wilder on there. A few years back he even admitted that the UFC instructed him to say that stuff in this interview and he didnt even agree with it himself.
@@Alec-wm7tf White America is not the world. Also your "you hear about these names because you watch boxing" and "everyone forgets about boxing until the next fight" ALSO APPLIES TO MMA. The average person that doesnt follow MMA only knows Conor, and Conors biggest ever PPV buys (by far) and exposure came from a boxing match. Nobody really gives a shit about MMA when Conor isnt fighting, and hes had one MMA fight in the last two years.
As for HBO, they folded because their competitors put them out of business and presumably because they wanted to focus on entertainment shows rather than sports. Floyd left them for Showtime in 2013, Top Rank left them for ESPN in 2017 and Canelo left them for DAZN not long before they decided they were quitting.
MMA fans wanna gloat about it and make it seem like HBO cancelled because nobody is watching boxing anymore, when in reality boxing still pulls in slightly higher overall ratings - even HBO in its final year was doing comparable ratings to the UFC. Its kinda like how MMA fans are doing the whole "we got an ESPN deal" thing seemingly unaware that boxing is already on ESPN...
Floyd Mayweather "I'll fight you McGregor but we have to only use our hands" 😂😂😂
Conor called him out and said he wanted to go over to boxing
@@lorenzolimas5974 What??? Didn't Mayweather talked about fighting in the octagon first?
@@navajo237 Damn such a pissy little girl! 😂
@@navajo237 Your comment sounded like you got jumpy thats why i said what i said lol anywho I understand Conor likes money nothing wrong with that but Mayweather talked about getting into the octagon twice but he never did thats what IM talking about, im frustrated cause id love to see Mayweather challenge his skills in the octagon
@@navajo237 Conor got a tko because he gassed out correct me when im wrong but don't boxers usually wait until the later rounds in order to go all out? To try to gas the other one out?
This ufc guy should make his own podcast or something
Joe “I’ve got a collection of DVDs” Rogan
I wonder if he still has that collection of DVDs 📀
@@codyh2492 probably not. It's all on yourube
There you go
3 year letterman would be proud.
Every year you rewatch this it only gets sweeter. Boy was he wrong about the UFC.
What? UFC has been going nowhere for 5 years, whilst boxing keeps churning out superstars. Lou was right, the BIG problem MMA has is that it's dominated by one company.
@@agt155 slap yourself
I swear people seem to project viewpoints onto Lou that he never even actually said lol. All he pretty much said was MMA is its own thing separate to boxing, it has a niche with college age white males (which was 100% true then but not so much now) and that boxing couldnt market itself on ESPN with the same presentation that the UFC had at that time, again something that was pretty true then but not so much now. He never said the sport would die or anything like that, it was Joe that was saying that kind of shit.
@@YallLuvXeno Who was the biggest UFC star 5 years ago? Conor McGregor. Who's the biggest star in UFC today? Conor McGregor - and that's despite selling his sole to Boxing and losing multiple times. UFC has gone nowhere.
@@agt155 you know nothing about UFC, you don't even know the stars this generation in the UFC, focus on your own Boxing sport which is a aspect of MMA.
i love RUclips algorithm putting these younger Joe Rogan videos down my home page. 😊
joe was graced with the satisfaction of knowing there's nothing he forgot to say in that argument
Lou: You’re not a boxing fan
Rogan: So you’ve chosen death
Boxing is the sport of punching and UFC is the sport of fighting
Caleb Shouse no other way to say it!
I train UFC bro
Yes because UFC is a sport.....
lol that's like saying I practice NBA bro. UFC is an organization. Mixed Martial Arts is the sport.
ufc is a sport.
He says the stats are 5 rounds to 12 but leaves out the fact that they are 5 minute rounds! 🤷♂️
Yeah but a boxing 12 rounder is still the equivalent of what would be 7 rounds (+ 1 min) in MMA in terms of total fight time.
