Ricky Hatton at UFC 91

Ricky is a huge MMA fan and when he fought castillo he had a UFC logo on his trunks. He as spared with our MMA prospect Michael Bisping a couple of times. Oh, Ricky said any **** that Bisping hit him with would of KO'ed him, heard it here first.

I'd hope so. Bisping fights at 185 and has fought at 205 in the past. Hes a big ass dude and the fact that Hatton sparred him shows how tough Hatton is. Because Hatton is like 8 inches shorter and a solid 50lbs lighter than Bisping.

haha yeah exactly.

50 Cent was in attendance for Hatton/Mayweather and Mayweather/DLH too.

And to be honest, 50 Cent actually isnt that much of an MMA fan. There was an interview where Dana White was trying to get 50 Cent to make a song for the UFC and they got talking and 50 Cent had no idea about MMA, he only knew the marquee names but thats it.

And the UFC paid him ALOT of money to show up tonight. ALOT.

No he was just waiting on Mosley to give him some Balco supplements.

HAHAHA.

I actually attended that fight and I saw Sherk there. He did look like he needed a night-time injection. Its amazing how people thought he was clean despite him pissing a positive test. That guy was absolutely huge.

hahahaha that makes sense. No wonder they put the camera all up on his face for that long and there was NO other celebs there other than Hatton who was HIDING under a hat and trench coat like he did NOT want to be spotted at that jokey event.

A large percentage of UFC fans are Boxing fans who also like something different.

It is not a crime to enjoy both sports.

I'm not big on UFC but I used to be back when it first started. The format they had back then, tourney style where they were all elimination matches till the end I really liked, but that is just me.

I don't see what the crime is if someone likes it.

Boxing is not dying either. It is going through a transition where many fighters on top are over paid and they simply have too many PPV's. People are getting sick of them. it will crash a bit, and then rebuild like it has before. When it does crash, you will then see it back on free TV and then it will get popular again.

You will see UFC dwindle eventually for the exact same reason. Too many pPV's and people just get tired of it.

PPV's should only be for super fights.
