The Boxing equivalent to the UFC 100 card

[Cadillac Man]

SORRY NO WAY any UFC event could sell 100k tickets C'MON MAN! I'm telling you right now UFC is exploiting there fan base with a PPV every month, eventually the casual fans will get sick of it and it will fade into obscurity. Kickboxing,Karate,WWF and now MMA all were supposed to kill or surpass Boxing and it never did AND IT NEVER WILL. You can't erase over a 100 years of history in a few years.

Who the **** stated that Affliction is "more popular" than the UFC®? Can you directly quote when I stated that, outside of the instance above to ask you about the misdirect? I never once said that Affliction was more popular than the UFC®. I never implied it. The goddamn discussion was regarding SALARIES. Do you know what a salary is? Do you know that someone in this very thread, listed UFC® salary figures, with the addendum "most popular MMA company" thereby implying that no other MMA company pays as much as the UFC®? Is that something you can comprehend or do I need to make graphs/charts? It is a fact that this point is baseless, considering that there are organisations [more than one] that compensate their employees disclosed salaries ABOVE that which ZUFFA, LLC. does. Again, is that something you can comprehend? If you can't, I understand. I just saw a really interesting article on what happens to autistic children when they grow up.

I made a thread a while back where I made a boxing card that would be the equivalent to a UFC card just to give the ppl who don't know much about mma a perspective of just how impressive the UFC cards really are and why UFC is the fastest growing sport in the world.

Well since UFC 100 is coming up and this is probably one of the most impressive cards ever, I just thought it would make sense to do this thread again to remind ppl of why UFC is doing so well. so here goes...

UFC - Boxing
Lesnar-Mir = Wladimir Klitschko - Vitali Klitschko
GSP-Alves = Mikkael Kessler - Lucien Bute
Fitch-Thiago = Librado Andrade - Carl Froch
Henderson-Bisping = Bernard Hopkins - Zsolt Erdei

And the rest of the undercard is not all that bad either. there is a spectacular unbeaten prospect in Jon Jones who can almost be compared to a David Haye in boxing.

This is why UFC is doing so well and will continue to do so well. Boxing is the better sport, but the way the UFC is being run in such an organized fashion, I have to believe that the overtaking of boxing in the ppv numbers is only inevitable.

and you know what? pacquiao mayweather would single handedly own all those fights in terms of hype, popularity and entertainment

is lesnar-mir really the equivalent of wlad and vitali fightin each other?(i have no idea who mir is)

[BetterCallSaul]

This guy is basically saying the boxing needs to organise itself better, and put on better fight cards. I agree.

I would love to see Hopkins, Mayweather, Pacquaio, Froch, and Haye fight on the same card. In relative terms, UFC does that almost every card.

You've got to be kidding me. If you're referring to starpower and significance to the division....you've got it all wrong.

GSp-Alves would be the equivalent of Mosley-Berto

Fitch-Thiago would be the equivalent of Holt-Bradley

Henderson-Bisping would be the equivalent of Pavlik-Lockett

watched ufc 98 my first ever ufc and its reminded me of wwe.....was always hearing ***in bud lite being sponsered i was like wtf if your guna have a beer sponsor at least get a real beer. few of the matches were like ****e boxing matches and the rest were abit boring tbh i couldnt tell the difference between the top fighters and the bad ones. It just looked like un-skilled people off the street fighting maybe that was due to poor striking abilities compared to boxer i duno but was a let down and never watching one again.
