UFC had their poster boy, the guy that solds the most tickets, Brock Lesnar just get destroyed. It seems that Pacquaio is bigger than all the UFC title holders combined.
Everyone claims Boxing is dead (well not everyone, just the ufc fanboys). But the truth is the name of Manny pacquaio seems to be bigger, more popular than the entire roster of UFC. Pac beats the name brand of UFC!
UFC seemed to peak between 06-09, but now it seems the tides have turned and combat sports seem to be more focused on Boxing at the moment. This could all change, or if Brock won and kept winning, he could have been big - but now, Pacquaio seems to have that Ali aura about him, which is finding its way into mainstream news media.
I'm more excited about Boxing at the moment than anything going on in UFC. Edgar/Maynard ? Old Hughes vs. Old BJ ? GSP wrestling match with Josh Koscheck (again!)...
Nah...Boxing Pacquaio, Martinez / Paul Williams 2, Super Six still pretty cool despite the haters, Haye ducking Klitcschkos is pretty entertaining, etc.
