    REALLY? Routinely double and triple Boxing's PPV's huh? JMM-Pac 400k,Tito-RJJ 530k and Cotto-Margo close to 500k-I'LL GUARANTEE YOU NOT 1 UFC EVENT EVEN CAME CLOSE TO DOUBLING ANY ONF THOSE Numbers. Depends on what bar you gonna watch at and how big the fight is. You go to a hispanic neighboorhood you will NEVER find a UFC event but routinely will see a Boxing PPV. Same as in a white neighboorhood UFC is predomiantely the choice not many bars in a white neighboorhood would show JMM-Casa or Diaz-Pac just they way it is.

          I've seen some very boring MMA fights, it goes both ways.

              Sakuraba vs Gracie 1 lasted 90 minutes with about 3 minutes of real action. 5 clean punches were probably landed in those 90 minutes.

                You mean to tell me B-dubs cant put boxing up on one of their 40 TV's? Just one?
                Excellent stream, no buffering AT ALL. http://fr.justin.tv/live_wweshow

                    Nah. We get 15 mins of Vera choking on his own hype.

                      You'd think Boxing would take advantage of UFC's problems with getting a proper stream from the Isles played in the US.
