Quinton "Rampage" Jackson Going to Boxing

It will be just like his MMA fights, he'll stand around with an angry grimace and keep getting hit, just much harder this time.

Or Gary Shaw

As if.....

Gary's got his tracksuit ready

Jon Jones really beat him senseless. If anything he should just go to another company. He has no idea what he's getting self into.

not sure he had much sense to be beaten out of him to start with.if he had any,i'm guessing it was his ability to tie his own laces,learnt at 16.he really is the charicature of a"meathead"

No, Jones fought scared as fuck against Rampage. Shit, he even admitted it in the post conference

"there were a lot of times where Rampage swung at me, and, instead of defending technically, I kind of ran like a little girl.”

This is likely why Jackson is frusterated and saying this shit.

Rampage wants to get paid. It's hard for Top level MMA fighters to make a living off of the scraps Dana pays them, let alone somebody who has fallen below that level. Boxing is where the money is, you can be a contending boxer and make a good living, and make more than top level MMA guys.

But this is one thing that has always puzzled me: I just don't understand why guys don't go where the money is. If you're an aspiring fighter, wouldn't you choose the more lucrative sport? Nothing against guys who choose to go the MMA route, but it's a far tougher road(financially), even if you are a top level guy...

Most MMA guys I'd image are wreslters that started out in school. So naturally they'd go to the sport that caters to what they've been doing.

These MMA guys like Diaz and Rampage that think they will make money if they hop over to boxing are not in reality. They will only make good money if they fight a name opponent on a big network like Showtime or HBO. That will not happen. At best, they'll fight cans like Kimbo been doing, making chump change. Maybe get a fight against some C-level guy on FNF, which doesn't pay well. And that'll be it.

Say what you want about Rampage but I enjoyed The A-Team, he could make the transition to acting.

You know what - good for him. He has tried a lot of other combat sports and if he wants to test himself in boxing, go for it. He's too old to actually do anything in the sport, but it could be fun to watch. He's a genuinely tough-guy, and he could get matched with some guys well enough to produce some entertaining FNF-level action fights.

And BTW he was fucking terrible in A-Team. But so was everyone else...

How dare you, Shartlo Copley was hilarious as Murdock.

Man that whole movie was a trainwreck. And I used to like the show back in the 80s.

I really enjoyed it, only the part at the end with the exploding crates bugged me.
