    So the reason why Floyd will do better is that he's piggybacking off of Marquez fame and fighting on a national holiday.

      I think I'll go with this.
      If this is the Sept 19 card officially, it will be one of the best cards in the last 10 years.

        I used to think the same way, but after seeing the UFC's numbers just off regular one main event cards they've had this and last year, I see this one doing real good as well. One thing about UFC fans in general, they buy the product off GP (as a businessman, that's all you can hope and pray for).

        It also helps when you have Network TV helping out your promotion.

          i wouldnt care if it did trump it. i like boxing. i will watch it regardless of the court of public opinion. I dont get paid off ppv sales from either company, therefore my value is in entertainment, and i am far more entertained by marquez and floyd than any of those guys on that list, especially ****in cro-cop who flopped harder than ginobili in the UFC.

              Was Pac v DLH a joke?
              Is Pac v Cotto a joke?
              Both times a far smaller fighter moving up in weight to challenge a bigger fighter.
              The only difference is that Floyd will not have nearly the weight advantage Cotto will have on fight night.

                Card:

                Rich Franklin vs Vitor Belfort
                Mirko Cro Cop Vs. Junior Dos Santos
                Mike Swick Vs. Martin Kampmann
                Josh Koscheck Vs. Frank Trigg
                Tyson Griffin Vs. Hermes Franca
                Efrain Escudero Vs. Cole Miller

                and keep in mind, UFC doesn't do 24/7 type promotion for cards even of this magnitude
                The UFC ****ed up big time when they let Fedor sign elsewhere. A fight versus Lesnar would have been able to easily outsell Mayweather-Marquez.

                  But ironically, people will still pay to see him. Unlike Boxing, many MMA fighters aren't written off after a couple losses. Look how many people wrote off Shane Mosley on here 2-3 yrs ago...NOW look at him.

                    I watch both sports pretty religiously and 103 doesn't interest me much. I'll watch it, but would never miss PBF-JMM for it. Especially not since the undercard is shaping up nicely.
