    Me? Makin excuses? You sound very delusional. Atleast Fulcrum is bringing up descent points. You think because your opinion that MMA is garbage that people won't like it? The Mayweather fight will only do bigger numbers worldwide. In the past few weeks, all I've been seeing is UFC 103 commercials, not one Boxing commercial. It shows how well they are doing promoting wise. Hell, even Bob Arum knows they do great when promoting fights. Look at it this way, MMA has taken over the youth, and this is coming first hand from a highschooler. I see people talking about UFC all the time, last time I heard a boxing conversation in school that started from others was Mayweather-Hatton, and since then, UFC has double in size. If the UFC fans really cared for the Mayweather fight, why would the demand of most sports bars be put up to be showing UFC tonight? It really shows. UFC is where the money is, and Boxing is in a slump with all these organizations involved with screwing up possible big fights. Having one big fight a year is hardly even much to say mainstream.

        You say you haven't seen any advertising, you must not watch much t.v. ESPN has show a commercial almost every single segment, while I rarely see a UFC commercial. I think you have your **** twisted. Also whats a big fight in UFC outside of Lesnar? You act like UFC is putting on tons of huge fights. Get over it, what Dana says doesn't mean jack **** he is just spewing **** to line his pockets. BTW, boxing will have 3 big fights this year fyi. As for the little kiddies in high school, that will change once mommy and daddy stop giving them money to buy these "fights". The same thing that hurt boxing(PPVS) will hurt UFC once people get bored of shelling out money every month. Only difference is boxing has been able to last hundreds of years. Will UFC survive once they can't live off of PPV? I highly doubt it.

          Yeah i noticed that alot of my friends that are UFC fans usually go to bars to watch the fight, mo boxing people always get together and order the fight, cook some meat, have some beers, a Quinela, its more of a event. Thats the diference between the two sports, and thats why i love boxing.

              Haha you're an idiot. HBO is doing how many PPVs this year? The UFC had already had THREE do over 1M buys. I understand this is a boxing forum, but pull your head out of your ass. MMA is a fight. It contains all forms of fighting other than illegal street ****. Boxing is hands. That's it. There's a big difference. MMA fighters would crush boxers in a street fight. Mike Tyson said Fedor Emelianenko is "the baddest mutha****a of all time"

              Stop hating. Disgruntled, jealous bitches. You punks sound like Arum. BTW, mma's global PPVs crush boxing. So that whole boxing is a world sport is bull****. Boxing is dieing.

                I went to the store to buy some Tecate for the rebate and some of the Tecate reps were there, they saw I was buying Tecate and said "Have you tried the Tecate light?" I don't drink really so I said no, one of the guy says "we'll buy you a 30 pack so you can try it" and handed me a $20. So I ended up with free beer and I'll be getting that $25 dollar rebate.

                Oh yeah they said "Go Marquez!!!"

                  The UFC has had two events this year not feature Lesnar that did over a million buys. Their most successful ppv of all time did not feature Lesnar. Educate yourself. I love boxing, but I'm not delusional. Strikeforce, not UFC, has a card in November on CBS on a Saturday night in a primetime slot. That will do at least 5M viewers. Wake up fool.

                    Nah, kicks and ground fight are highly overrated and punches highly underrated. I've witnessed street fights between amateur boxers and amateur mma fighters and there's nothing like a boxer punch. It just comes too fast out of nowhere and boom, KO. I have yet to see a street fight where the martial art dude wins... that's only the experience I've had anyway...

                      Yet, all UFC fans cheer for is the BOXING aspect of the UFC. What the fuck do I care what Tyson says, guy is broke and would say anything to collect a buck. Also I dont give a **** ass what your opinion is on who would win in a street fight, means ****, and is far from proof. LOL @ your so called PPVs, no one gives a **** about your sport outside of 2 countries. Go suck on Danas nipple you sad son of a *****.
