No doubt Cotto vs Pacquiao will win.
Boxing vs UFC Rematch Nov 14...

1. Boxing is competing with MMA. UFC had that date already set even before Cotto/Pac conception
2. Not really a competition when the sports bars show the live feed of the fight card in the afternoon.
3. Due to low buys thanks to #2. That's why White begs $pike to put euro cards on free for TV.
4. Where was the high end boxing cards competing against Rua/Machida? Why is TR and GBP always targeting builder and euro cards instead of title fights?Comment

Look, im not trying to piss any UFC fans here off so please don't get pissed at this... Dana White lies about his PPV numbers, and many other things. It is well documented. The only PPV they might have broke 1 million is with Lesnar in UFC 100. He lies to create hype, and people will see how many people are buying and want to buy it thereselves..
Honestly, since 100, what card has been that good anyways? Lesnar is there only draw to get casual fans to buy IMO. Lesnar is pretty much all they got. Now he isn't fighting til 2010, because he is sick.
If you were to take Dana White's BS numbers and Lesnar out of the equation, you would see that UFC event's average around 400k per event, and that 400k is the same 400k that buy every month. It is the shear number of event's the UFC has that makes them outsell boxing the last 2 years, and pobably this year. Then again who know's since the UFC numbers aren't accurate.
HBO step up your game, so we can end this discussion.Comment

I agree.....the UFC is saving the super mega card to go up VS the Mayweather Pac fight.....this one coming up is gonna be aight (Lessnar is figthing some chump) cuz it's gonna be like throwing a deer into a pit full of alligators....you know people wanna watch that......hahaha........You guys act like this is some great UFC card or the last one was too. The last one was good, but this card is absolutely garbage. I'm sure if the UFC was really trying to beat boxing, they could pull something phenominal. And definitely put up a fight. This boxing fight though, one of the most exciting, is going to destroy that poor UFC card. Don't know why the UFC is doing it.
but other than that it is gonna be pretty weak.....Comment

That's why there's people versed in business law, financing and math who actually do detective work to at least gain a scope of what the numbers really are.Look, im not trying to piss any UFC fans here off so please don't get pissed at this...

Then again, if the tables were turned and someone like Scott Coker were to throw people under the bus for at lease trying to figure out Boxing's undisclosed numbers just to make one's sport look better, I'd throw a fit about it and ask Coker why do something that ******.Comment
