Different model. Dana White has to deliver X amount of fights to keep his TV deal with ESPN/ABC. Now that NBA is back they have to do different things to deliver this dates.
Seems PBC of having fights on network TV and live off of advertising didn’t work. Partly because the purses in boxing are higher since Lord Dana isn’t there to control each fighters purses.
UFC is more like WWE than boxing.
What is with these UFC/WWE comparisons? especially considering boxing is currently turning into an absolute ****ing circus of Youtubers, NBA players, MMA fighters, strongmen and exhibition bouts.
People know who WWE Wrestlers are, it is the same kind of situation.
I can't name a single WWE wrestler from this new era.
Boxing fans secretly know most top MMA fighters and watch the fights as well. They're just too ashamed to admit it. Atleast I can admit watching both sports.
I like how so many boxing fans secretly know the big MMA names and cards while they trash MMA in those comparison threads.

Ufc > boxing
thanks for the red k faggot. sent you green cause I'm not a baby
and you of all people have the audacity to call me ignorant. Eat a metric ton of dicks.
You can think one is better than the other but still like both, no?
Oh of course. Especially for a normal rational human being who doesn't regularly talk about someone getting the 'ghetto thug beaten out of them'

Then go to sherdawg or the subforum you fucking mindless troll. You have a black man in your avatar but you constantly post suspect racist shit all day long like you're tryna break even.
You must be an absolute casual of the highest degree if you think that was one of the best fights of the past “few years”.
The commentating is meant to be WWE style, so I can’t blame you.
It absolutely was. Very one sided but Max put on an absolute clinic, he threw well over 600 shots just set a UFC record. Shouting at the commentator table while landing no look punches.
I think Katar legit needs to be monitored that he doesn't enter a coma when he goes to sleep tonight.
Might have been one of the greatest fights of the last few years.
Holloway shouting while still fighting "I'm the best boxer in the UFC!".

Free Fight and a GREAT FIGHT!

Tonight? It’s on right now. You must be from overseas.
PBC on main FOX is on every month in prime time and has been since December 2018.
FOX is bigger than ABC in 2020. They are also airing a PBC Countdown for Plant vs Truax right before the NFL Game tomorrow.
Top Rank will most likely air a fight on ABC this year as well. It was always the plan with the ESPN deal.
Also, PBC has been on CBS and NBC over the last couple of years.
Damn that last round !
Agreed insane. This is the type of fight that the casual fans who might tune in to network tv will eat up. Kudos to the UFC.
I'm sure Dazn has something good for their dozen or so subscribers on now though.
