Dana White to show UFC 103 for *FREE* on Sept 19???

[Burner]

True, but there is a good chance that it may sway those who see Floyd/Marquez as a cherrypicked mismatch. They have an option now, with the other option being free. Nowaday's that means a lot.

For the record...JMM picked Floyd....but anyway.........


Floyd/Marquez will get its buys.........

The UFC really has no say in who watches Floyd/JMM.

Lets see watch a no name crawl around the ground or get ko'd in 30 seconds...or watch the return of Mayweather vs. The best Mexican fighter in the world.

Trust me Floyd/Marquez is doing 350,000k to 500k.

I think Stephen Colbert summed up MMA best on yesterday's show:

"I mean ultimate fighting has it all. From the occasional moment of action, to the 40 minutes of awkward spooning."

Like some of you already said, the boxing fans are gonna watch boxing, and the UFC fans are gonna watch UFC...and the hardcore combat sport fans will somehow find time to watch both regardless of where it's shown.

With that said, I'll take a stream of Mayweather-Marquez over a free UFC any day

So the ****s free then?

Dana knows how to promote though

lol

[KILLA RIGHT]

No mexicans are watching ufc.so it doesn't matter don't people relize we are the most ****phobic people in the world?

So what can Golden Boy Promotions do to ensure that fans tune into Floyd Mayweather Jr vs Juan Manuel Marquez on September 19? HBO is giving the fight 24/7 treatment. The four-part series will begin airing on August 29. The 24/7 series has become the equivalent of advertising free beer at parties. It is guaranteed to drive your numbers up.

If the 24/7 series is a sure-fire guarantee, what would be the Jones/Calzaghe (225,000 buys) numbers would be if it didn't have a 24/7?

if UFC 103 is free, then for sure suckers will buy Floyd/Marquez... cause then they will easily flip back and forth between the fights. this only makes it easier for people to purchase floyd/jmm, not harder

[screwhead1]

do mexicans give a **** about UFC?

[Seiko]

floyd vs marquez is ok because the ufc card looks s**t anyway it should be for free

[Shattered Jaw]

Floyd Mayweather v Marquez will do just fine.

I'm sick and tired of all this talk of boxing dying etc etc. It's just a joke. Most people don't even know what MMA is. Boxing is engrained in the heritage of so many countries you'd have to have a holocaust to supplant it. That's no joke.
