    Just because it sells doesn't mean the product has great skilled athletes. It's popular but it doesn't has **** on boxing.

      I can't believe Mayweather is actually fighting Marquez.

      Seeing as I actually laughed at Marquez when he mentioned Mayweather in his post fight interview.

      This wouldn't be happening if Pacquiao didn't fight De La Hoya, or for that matter,if he lost to De La Hoya.

      Good match-up though, easy win for Mayweather, and sets up a MEGA-SUPER-SUPER fight with Pacquiao.

          They both avoid each other, you don't see the UFC putting on events when a big boxing match is going on. Hatton vs Pacquaio will sell more ppv's and do a better gate then UFC 100 btw.

              Hatton/Floyd did 1.4million PPV's here in the U.K.

              Lesnar/Mir wasn't even PPV.

              There's always another side to a story.

                Lesnar/Mir WAS on ppv. Maybe not in the UK, but it was here.

                    And BTW...UFC 100 IS STACKED!!!
                    having looked at the card, it doesnt look that great.

                    Lesnar vs Mir 2 is only meaningful because Lesnar was in WWE. its still going to look sloppy as hell until the fight is finished.
                    St Pierre is fighting someone hes going to lay on top of all night to win.
                    The Fitch fight is not eye catching.
                    Henderson vs Bisping looks ok.
                    I dont even know who the hell Belcher is or his Japanese opponent.

                      No way in hell bro!! UFC has a great card while boxing only has one good fight to look for that night.
