    Compared to Mayweather vs JMM thats a garbage fight. Shogun hasn't done **** for years.

      The UFC PPV will easily outsell Mayweather-JMM.
      We will see. Dana sounds like a ****** saying that they don't care about going head to head with Floyd. He had no choice. He got the date from the PPV company than Floyd and Marquez got the same date after. The card will be trash because theres no way the MMA big names will want to go head to head with Floyd. Especially if they have a PPV cut.

        No it's not. It's actually a very compelling match-up. Shogun was the consensus #1 LHW for a while, youngest Pride GP champion.

        He's been plagued by injury but he's now back at 100%.

        Even if Shogun is in terrible shape, he still puts on better fights than PBF

          You said absolutely nothing in this paragraph. Next.

          When another organization rises and gets their share of top fighters and the Ali Act get enforced on them too. You won't be talking this reckless **** you are now nuthugger.
          Ali Act is a boxing law, Einstein. Show me where the Ali Act was enforced in the NFL, MLB, NBA, or any other promotional sports organization. Answer: it hasn't, because those aren't boxing organizations. LOL!

            He's been plagued by injury but he's now back at 100%.

            Even if Shogun is in terrible shape, he still puts on better fights than PBF

              MMA has a PPV every 3-6 weeks regardless of what else is on the schedule.

              You guys act like it's a rarity...

                Machida will kick his ass easy man. It's ironic that Dana says that Manny and Floyd should be fighting then he puts together this trash. Machida should be fighting page. Im happy your fooled by Shogun beating a washed up hype job Chuck Lidell.

                  De La Hoya's purse was 2 times bigger than Floyd's, who REALLY sold that fight? LMAO!!

                    Machida should be fighting Rampage but the fact is Rampage is a ***** and knows that there is more money doing TUF and the grudge match with Evans than there is fighting for the belt.

                    I'm not fooled. You are fooled into believing that Machida is the second coming of Jesus Christ. He's not and Shogun has a very good chance at beating him. My guess is you've only seen his fights in the UFC. I am a Shogun fan BTW.

                      Floyd hasn't sold a fight on his own yet. Hatton was the closest, but Gatti and De La Hoya sold those shows vs. Floyd.

                      Marquez isn't a PPV fighter, so this will be the first true measure of his draw.
