Yep, true. But, those poor countries have to have a hero for that **** to start happening.

A good example is the Philippines. Filipinos have always been boxing fans, but the kind of frenzy PAC has brought to the country. Filipinos more than ever are hungrier to learn the sweet science.

Not quite right, Rockin. It's not so much that the different MMA head honchos are getting their heads together and working it out. It's more like the UFC is this "big bully" on the block and everybody else is small potatoes.

What happens when the UFC finally meets its match and all these MMA fighters have more than one option? Then you've got a scenario that's gonna be similar to what boxing is now. There's no other MMA promotional company that rivals the UFC. It's almost like a monopoly.

In a way, MMA is running into the same problem as boxing re matching up the best of the best ,especially the lower weight classes .

Here's what I mean, Dana White has been vocal about wanting to bring the top Japanese fighters, who are mostly in the lower weights, because the Japanese fighters in some ways are like the Mexican boxers of the lower weight classes in MMA. But guess what, it's been shown to be very difficult, because the Japanese make d*mn good $$$ in their home country and have contractual obligations. So, we're not really seeing the best pitting the best when we watch the WEC.

In boxing you've got DKP, Top Rank, GBP, and the rest vying for the same spot, and I haven't even mentioned the ABC organizations.

Another thing I wanted to add is, How can all these parties work together when all of 'em have one single interest/protect their interest at the same time?

Umm, does the Isr*eli - P*lestinian conflict ring a bell here?

The *********** Israeli conflict is alot deeper than the greed of boxing promoters and sanctioning bodies. Unless you are calling Israel the promoters, referees, judges, sanctioning bodies and the ************ the boxers.

Yeah no ****, I was just using it as an analogy and not a straight comparison.

But there's one thing both subjects have in common, greed!

I actually like THE RING BELT, because it is a nice broad number of writers who are a panel and rank current fighters. Plus there is no sanctioning fees and to be honest haven't seen much corruption from their rankings regardless of GBP owning them now..

It's sad but the WBC,IBF,WBO are here to stay.. they line their pockets with top promoters and cable co...

I'd rather have shark ass promoters and managers than these crappy alphabet organizations.

Also since the economy around the world has been tanking and HBO with Showtime, even FNF are having more competetive fights. You would think this would be the time that NBC,ABC.FOX, or CBS would jump on the chance to show some solid boxing..

I still hate Shaw for jumping on the MMA bandwagon, signing a internet fighter and getting CBS to go all in with MMA.. imagine if he had done that to put boxing on CBS.. for the amount they were paying..CBS could easily have paid for a card with either 2 or 3 matchups..

What greed. The majority of the *********** population can't even get into their country and the others are living in a refugee camp. The only thing these subjects have in common is the political parties that benefit from the conflict. So if you want to say that the political parties in both countries are like the sanctioning bodies in goverment thats fair. But to say the *********** people are greedy thats ******.

What I hope I will see in my generation is a 2 state solution.

Are you an Arab?

That's what I meant, the ABC boxing orgs are like the political parties
