Joe Rogan claims boxing promoters were astonished with UFC 329 spectacle<\/h2>\n

Last Saturday, Rogan commentated at UFC 329 which was headlined by the return of McGregor, meaning it was thoroughly attended.<\/p>\n

The 58-year-old claimed that he had friends who’re boxing promoters attend the event, and so they were astonished by how different it’s to a boxing show.<\/p>\n

\u201cI had some friends this past weekend that manage fighters, manage boxers, come to the UFC,\u201d Rogan said on a recent episode of his podcast.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey were all like, \u2018Oh my god, that is so significantly better than a boxing promotion\u2019, because all of the fights are exciting, with boxing, most individuals are just there for the fundamental event.<\/p>\n

\u201cNumerous people don\u2019t even stroll in until quarter-hour until the fundamental event, like all of the famous those who sit front row. Within the UFC, that place is packed, 5, 6, 7 fights in. And there are 14 fights within the night and all of them are amazing\u2026 It\u2019s only a more exciting sport.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere are more ways to win, it\u2019s more dynamic, more things occur and there are more stars. There are such a lot of stars within the UFC,\u201d he claimed.<\/p>\n

Despite Rogan\u2019s claim regarding the UFC having \u2018so many stars\u2019, their lack of stars has been something they’ve been criticized for recently.<\/p>\n

Not only that, but the massive gap in fighter pay between boxing and MMA continues to signal that boxing is worldwide the more popular sport.<\/p>\n
