When Has Boxing Ever Had A Card Like UFC 100?

Brock Lesnar VS Frank Mir Georges St. Pierre VS Thiago Alves Dan Henderson VS Michael Bisping The card is stacked. I know I will get flamed and hit with red karma for this thread but I'm asking because I seriously want to know. If boxing never has thrown a card like this, then there are things that boxing could learn from UFC. Your product is worthless if it isn't wrapped up all pretty. Why do you think the iPod sells so wel as opposed to the ugly Zune. It's attractive, it draws you in. More fights in one PPV event would draw more people in. Imagine they had thrown another big matchup on the Floyd/Hatton or Oscar/Floyd card. You'd have untouchable PPV records. Don't automatically go into the whole "it's gay and boxing is better" routine please. Lets have an intelligent discussion for once without homophobic remarks and trying to discredit the sport as two gay dudes rolling around on the floor. The difference is: While not everyone is paid the same in UFC, they get paid more equally than in ANY boxing event. It's like the budget for the event is more evenly distributed than in boxing PPVs, so there are more big names on the cards. Even the non ppv events usually have more than 2 known names. Point 2: Because fighters have an hard time ducking anyone if at all possible, there are more stars and less superstars. What's the difference? Superstars kill the fighting sports. Someone with an huge reputation to maintain cost allot of money and threats the truth in sports which draws the paying costumer. There's a reason why Fedor Emilianenko, a former great HW fighter (some 8 years ago he was great) won't join the UFC. Fedor's 2 last opponents were both KOed in a sum time of 31 seconds by complete nobodies (9 seconds for Tim Sylvia and 22 seconds for Andrei Arlovsky), but many people still rate Fedor as the best fighter alive. This kind of controversy is new to mma and there is only the case of Fedor right now. In boxing, everyone is doing this, by this i mean cherry picking opponents in order to hide their true value. The final result is something like Ricky Hatton: Huge anticipation, people including myself thought it would be competitive at least and bang, the guy wasn't even in the same class as pacquiao and gets KOed in 2 rounds :|. It would be ok if there were other events going on, but no, those guys sucked the whole purse money by themselves. In the particular case of the UFC there is no such bullshit going on for the reasons i said before and don't feel sorry for the low pay some of them fighters have because if they win and keep winning they get the big money, the other ones find day jobs, like IT SHOULD BE.

morales vs barrera. 1 fight=3 fights in ufc. They will never have 3 fights that equals something like this

I'm not red k'ing anyone thats a ~Tunney move, next i'll be ignoring him. Sooner or later the alphabet organisations will do something about it and join their cards together to have each of them defend a title in a fight on every major card. Its easy for UFC to do this at the moment cos they're owned by one guy. Anyway as they say. This has been discussed... move on.

well for one ufc lasts about a third of a boxing bout and all of those guys maybe top in ufc but their still bums.

MMA fans are Hilarious. Don King used to stack cards until the Ali act prohibited such cuz of financial situations. And MMA fights last at the most 15 min. Imagine Cotto-Pac,Wlad-Haye,Soto-Guerrero,Dawson-Calzaghe in 5 rnd fights and pay em 200,000 each. Different sports and different buisness. STOP MAKING STUPID COMPARISONS!!!

Don't worry thread starter, I'll give you an answer. The night of rematches: Chavez vs Randall 2 McCllean vs Jackson II Nelson vs Leija II Brown vs Norris II Don King used to put on some quality cards back in the 90s...

The undercards in the 80s and early 90s were usually loaded by Don King Rosendo Alvarez 108 32-2-1 D Victor Burgos ~ WBA World light flyweight title ~ ~ IBF light flyweight title cruiserweight Wayne Braithwaite 189 19-0-0 W Luis Andres Pineda 199 17-3-0 TKO 1 12 ~ WBC cruiserweight title ~ super flyweight Luis Alberto Perez 114 21-1-0 W Felix Machado 115 23-4-1 UD 12 12 ~ IBF super flyweight title ~ light welterweight Zab Judah 140 29-1-0 W Jaime Rangel 140 30-4-1 KO 1 12 ~ WBO light welterweight title ~ light middleweight Travis Simms 154 22-0-0 W Alejandro Garcia 154 22-0-0 KO 5 12 ~ WBA World light middleweight title ~ heavyweight John Ruiz 241 38-5-1 W Hasim Rahman 246 35-4-1 UD 12 12 ~ interim WBA World heavyweight title ~ welterweight Cory Spinks 146 31-2-0 W Ricardo Mayorga 146 25-3-1 MD 12 12 ~ WBC welterweight title ~ ~ WBA Super World welterweight title ~ ~ IBF welterweight title ~ middleweight Bernard Hopkins 160 42-2-1 W William Joppy 159 34-2-1 UD 12 12 ~ WBC middleweight title ~ ~ WBA Super World middleweight title ~ ~ IBF middleweight title ~

Never heard of any of them

:gives::lame::sucks:

So how about less boxing PPVs and better cards. Would make for more memorable events. And you would promote more fighters at once.

forrest griffin and anderson silva are making less than 200,000 each for fighting eachother thats a headline fight so naturally you can stack cards when the fighters are getting paid crap

holy.....freaking..........god. There's like a 10 page thread on this explaining why that is literally impossible in boxing to have a card like that. You can't compare boxing and mma, the businesses are completely different.

Shit, they put on 6 a month, they damn well better stack one every now and then.
