    Lesnar is like a ****ing bear. I get it he wrestled for real but even if he didn't he'd still beat a lot of people by virtue of being like a ****ing bear.

        Emeliarenko is of interest to me..but brock is not.. Find a different better opponent for this scenario, and maybe I'd order both.
        People greatly underestimate Lesnar and he keeps proving them wrong.... what else is new?

          Since I'm a boxing fan first, Pacquiao vs Mayweather.

            I am not an MMA fan but I would like to comment on this. One of the things that most people don't realize is that comparing MMA to boxing is like comparing apples to oranges. When MMA has a PPV event, most of the time they put SEVERAL of their big stars on one show.

            Imagine a PPV show with Mayweather vs Mosley, Pac vs Cotto, Chad Dawson vs Bernard Hopkins, Ricky Hatton vs Juan Manuel Marquez and Nonito Donaire vs. Vic Darchinyan II, along with two or three other matches. If you put a show like that together, it would draw three million PPV. However, you would never see a PPV like that because boxers make too much money and a promoter couldn't pay them all. On a PPV like that, Donaire and Darchynian would be the least paid and they would still make more than any MMA star.

            MMA can afford to put together shows featuring their biggest stars and draw big numbers because they pay their fighters one-tenth of what boxing makes. I think I read somewhere that the most watched MMA PPV drew 1.5 million fans. I would bet that all the fighters on that show combined earned less than Juan Manuel Marquez made against Floyd Mayweather. So, again, you can't really compare the two because it is like comparing apples to oranges.

              Also Its easy to have "SEVERAL of their big stars on one show" when its so easy to manufacture them, 1 or 2 good wins and its "OMG he is a star" "OMG the next big thing" and people eat it right up. So its not like "Mayweather vs Mosley, Pac vs Cotto, Chad Dawson vs Bernard Hopkins, Ricky Hatton vs Juan Manuel Marquez and Nonito Donaire vs. Vic Darchinyan II" cause most of those names earned their way to being what they are.

                Personally I was a boxing fan first and will always pick a good boxing match over a good MMA match, but big fights in boxing just don't happen frequently enough so I became a fan of both. Boxing only fans are starved these days.

                  Im a boxing fan first so of course I would rather watch the mismatch between floyd and pac. which will be pretty weird since pac will be coming off a tko loss against cotto.

                    Mayweather and Pacquiao. Booking the events on the same day would be ****** anyway. Losing for millions for bragging rights is dumb/childish.
