This is a joke. Enough said.

I don't really understand it. Let's look at MMA for a second. Brock Lesnar is more popular than Amir Khan and Marcos Maidana can ever dream of being combined. Brock Lesnar has secured 4 1M+ PPV buy events for the UFC. Brock Lesnar is a heavyweight. MMA, as a whole, is more popular than boxing in America.

Brock Lesnar's pay for his last fight? 400K
Amir "Who?" Khan's pay for a title defense at 140 lbs. against an unknown Argentine crude puncher? 925K
How much is that Argentine puncher making? 550K



And then we go through 8 of 12 months in a year with absolutely no fights because HBO's already spent their entire budget for the year.

you are very wrong Lesnar is not more popular that khan and MMA is not more popular than boxing. UFC usa fan base boxing world fan base

i thought hbo said it is 1.8m when they announced the purses?

This genius thinks a license fee is the same as main event purse totals.
