Does UFC want to get killed again?

[Allucard]

Yes, this does belong here because they have UFC 105 on November 14th, same date as Pacquiao vs. Cotto. Do they seriously try to compete with some of the biggest PPVs in boxing. What a **** Dana White is.

UFC 105 is a free event and the card sucks. They will have no PPV ratings.

[Shattered Jaw]

I'm not even remotely convinced Pac/Cotto will break the 1.2M mark.

I mean it goes on US PPV sales and neither Pac or Cotto are from the USA.

Are u saying rua/ma****a could out sell pac/cotto Lol!!!

No. I'm saying if the boxing promoters were confident about their cards and know they can beat any MMA card, why are we seeing cards going up against MMA cards that everyone and their mom knows can't (and aren't) compete with.

If everyone is confident that Cotto/Pac can draw big numbers (and it should, no doubt), why put it up against a card that's supposed to help build up interest for euro fighters instead of the title fight between Rua/Machida?

Wouldn't that be the huge ice cream sundae if a Boxing match made better numbers then a whole MMA card with a title fight?

Man... This is going to be another ****ed up event for the UFC.

They got outsold about 10 or 11 to 1 by Mayweather/Marquez. That wasn't a huge fight either. Cotto/Pacquiao is a HUGE fight and Brock just pulled out of the UFC main event. I'm guessing sales will be about 15 or 20 to 1 in favor of the Cotto/Pacquiao fight

105 is Couture/Vera

106 is Carwin/Lesnar

why did brock pull out???

He's got swine flu. They postponed the match for Jan. 2nd

Undisclosed illness.

Something tells me he wasn't progressing well or looking good in training camp. The dude has been looking fatter and fatter from fight to fight. He was supposed to fight Shane Carwin; Shane is a big threat to Lesnar and is not to be taken lightly.

Yeah.

The most interesting fight on the card looks to be either Riddle/Sip Shack or Winner/Roli.

Carwin twittered that it was swine flu.
