        Everything goes in cycle so right now boxing is on a decline but all it takes is one great fighter to bring people back.

              That won't work. We have had many great fighters and its still where it is. It takes these promoters to stop with all the PPV's and overpricing their fighters. Get boxing back on TV, less PPVs, and put atleast 2 good fights and 2 decent ones on a card.

                If you go to a brothel or an adult film store, would you feel comfortable with people knowing your identity and being able to make you at a later date? Word gets out, wouldn't it?

                I just wouldn't want to associate myself with that kind of stuff. I don't differentiate it from ****-fighting or dog-fighting.

                  I wouldnt know mate. we don't get ESPN over here in the UK. I will have to watch it online tomorrow though.

                  MMA is an exciting new thing to people and that is why it gets the attention. I am a fan of both so I hate when people come out with boxing is dyin, UFC/MMA sucks. just love both. diffferent sports. it is kinda like Rugby Union v Rugby League. UK and Aussie people will get that.

                    What UFC PPV's highlights are shown on ESPN? I've seen Kimbo Slice and the Rampage PPV's, outside of that nothing. Dana is on to talk his sports biggest fight, not a big deal. On the other hand nearly every boxing PPV usually makes Sportscenter. Rome covers every major boxing fight with interviews and having camera men follow the fighter during his daily life. Boxing is on ESPN much more than MMA.

                      Nobody there knows you or would care if you were there Im sure.

                      Your second sentence just shows how ignorant you are.

                      You tend to follow the majority and never lead. There are professionl boxers who attend UFC cards as well as other athletes. Zab even said he has attended MMA fights before and enjoys it. If there wasnt so many ignorant posters in here who talk bad about MMA you would probably be a fan. Lucky for the UFC you are not. You tend to be biased about fighters...
