Don't forget Paul Williams vs Kelly Pavlik is going head to head with Ultimate Fighter finale too. And Pacquiao-Cotto is going head to head with UFC 105 which is free on tv.

This week end you have froch dirrell and taylor abraham...in novemeber you have haye valuev and kessler ward with pac and cotto to finish things off...

Obviously boxing always schools ufc but i hink things are chaging 2009 can finish the supreme victor over the mma, lets be honest who wants to watch 2 near naked men grappling on the floor for 5 minutes...

Naw its not just you... once boxing puts together some nice matchups UFC will be a clear second not just a close second like it was before the mayweather fight.

is it to much to call the man mayweather???gayweather makes a poster sound like a 12 year old..

Mayweather did his thing, he embarrased ufc single handidly. Boxing will **** mma not the next two months but the next year n a half! So many matchups that will be made.

I think the problem with the UFC currently is that they are holding too many PPV events and most people can't afford or don't want to pay for a PPV every month.

So does being a member of the "Floyd Mayweather mafia"

and they brag about bringing in great matchups but their last two cards have been weak Dana white made a big mistake publicizing the whole ufc 103 v. Mayweather thing I think it completely backfired and it seemingly lit a fire under these boxing promoters and HBO because now a bunch of great matchups are set up. Whether you like it or not Mayweathers layoff and return have energized the WW division and made things more interesting again.
