I really don't get what the UFC is trying to accomplish here by counter-promoting against the years' second biggest boxing card. All I see happening is both sides losing. Most boxing fans will watch the boxing, most UFC fans the UFC. Only a relatively small segment of fans who are in the middle will really be affected as I see it.

And for what? What's the point?
