How can boxing be dead when DLH and PBF just made more money then ALL the combined mma fights in the history of MMA?
Sideways, the undercards made more money then a championship ufc fight. Boxing is not dead. It is only declining in this country. World Wide attendace is actually higher then it has ever been.
Knee, so what you are saying is that there have not been any boring UFC fights?. Boxing is not going anywhere. Until I see Jack Nicholson at the UFC, mma is still a b level sport in this country. Gusto you are right on. The america public is not going to buy two guy rolling around mat.
Saw more $ bet on this individual bout than any other single bout or cpomplete fight card I've seen offshore since 1999.
Huge huge money.
Kneee, really man you kill me. It is just marketing. It is like saying that MMA is the ultimate form of fighting. It is just marketing.
Tellis, how many millionaire wrestlers you know that is not in sports entertainment?

Because MONEY isn't what decides whether a sport is dead or not...a coward dancing around a ring and then "winning" a championship is what makes boxing as dead as King Tut....and it's the same fucking thing that's killing MMA........
Slepy....Nice!!!

lmfao baseball players and basketball player both make more money than football players.....humm what sport is more popular
Haulport, money decides everything. Why the hell would man risk geting his head beat in over nothing. This is America not some bs socialistic country. Mc, you are comparing millionares to millionares. I am comparing milliionares to people that are make less money then me.
There are good fights if the fighters would fight each other. Already we have fighters ducking each other. Joe Calzaghe won't fight Mikkel Kessler. There are good fighters the problem is they're afraid to fight top notch compition.
KKh, I agree with you completly. The problem with boxing is the fighters can make a ton of money fighting cans because boxing is ha huge. Mma will never be that big until it gets a world body like boxing.
Jaydub, in the next two years until the next WORLD boxing event we can watch the ultimate fighter promote the homo life style or I can pay 45 dollars for ufc to watch a bunch of guys I have never heard off.
The UFC is keeping all the profits and using it to buy smaller organizations and Pride instead of paying their fighters decent money. When will a MMA fighter live a lifestyle like PBF, with a 12 room mansion, 20 cars including a Rolls and Bently, wears $1 million worth of jewelry and walks around with 50 Gs in his pocket? There's no motivatation for a boxer to fight in MMA since there's still no money in it.
