kickboxing fights are less publicized in most cultures.
however, due to the financial aspects involved I would say "neither" and go with boxing. for the forseeable future, boxers will make considerably more money than mma fighters after a certain level and due to the nature of the sport and promotion, they have more leeway in making themselves a commodity as opposed to jumping to mr. whites tune.
(at lower levels you still don't make much either way though)
Since you are thinking of MMA. Mixed martial arts utilizes alot of techniques from kick boxing, so if your choices are those two then take MMA. You get kick boxing as well as BBJ, MT, boxing, and others depending on the instructor.
If I were you, the kung fu sanda (sanshou) or MMA classes help you build a strong fighting techniques and useful applications in real life situations.
Thanks to the UFC and Belator MMA is the up and coming sport.Learn some Muay Tai, boxing, grappling, jui jitzo and your all set.
The UFC needs to start paying its new fighters more tho but that will improve too.
uhmm... try going with tennis. Or basketball if you're black I guess... you wouldn't be that one guy who's different from the other black dudes.
MMA
What's a better sport to join? Which would make a better career? I do karate and want to do some amateur fights when I'm older. What are the pros and cons of each? Which would karate help me more in?
