Why are guys surprised that boxers dont give a whole lot of respect to MMA?? Its still not a real popular sport. For instance Im in DC for a week and asked a few friends where I could catch UFC 71 and everyone was like "UFC? Whats that?" Its not nearly as popular as we like to believe. Most people can only use UFC 1,2 and 3 as their point of reference. And a lot of the smaller shows are really marketed like a street fight. Chuck is the biggest MMA star in America and he looks like a biker...He has a mohawk and a tatoo on his head. What do you think people are gonna say when they first see him and now little about MMA? The second biggest star is Ortiz..Do I even need to say anything about him? You should be happy he said he repects that they train hard and fight and admitted he would lose. What more do you want from a guy who probably eat drinks and sleeps boxing......And with everyone always talking about MMA taking over boxing, what do you expect them to say?
