Comments Thread For: Lessons In a Losing Streak: Fedor-Brock Teaches Us

[fitefanSHO]

Undefeated Brock vs Undefeated Fedor could have been the biggest fight...EVER. In any sport. Amazing how quickly fortunes can change in that crazy world of MMA. But if they fought now, I still pick Fedor because all he really has to do is punch Brock in the face and Brock goes fetal and does his best turtle impression. His chin is terrible. Grazing punches make him do somersaults around the cage trying to get away. Fedor can still take a good amount of punishment without folding, Brock is far more damaged goods right now than Fedor.

Yea, crap stoppage. Fedor and Anderson Silva are the most relaxed fighters I've ever seen.

Can't delay big money fights in a "sport" where the majority of the "fighters" have fragile glass chins.Dana White was atleast smart enough to hand Chestner a title shot before his pitiful lack of punch resistance was exposed.

Fragil glass chins? What in the *** is this nonsense?

That idiot has never been hit with 4 oz gloves and/or kicked in the head...

You're absolutely nuts if you feel that Fedor V Brock would of been the biggest fight ever in combat sports. Those guys are not very big outside of a few nations in the world. Fights like Duran V Lenoard at Olympia Stadium, Duran V Leonard 2 at the Super Dome, Ali V Frazier 3 and a load of other Ali fights, many fights at the old Cominsky and Yankee stadium were much bigger in the states and world wide. It would be hard for any type of MMA event to even capture a fraction of the interest of a Joe Louis fight. Biggest fight of all time is downright laughable. BTW, the list goes on including the fights that held over 100,000 people for Dempsey in Toledo. Research before you make such a bold statement.

It was a purely hypothetical statement so I get to be bold.

I said COULD have been, attention to detail is a part of reading comprehension, OK?

brock lesnar - fedor could have easy done 2 m buys if they built it correctly

i absolutely agree


it could have done more than de la hoya - mayweather (which did like 2.3 or something)
making it the biggest ever fight on pay television

It would not of done anywhere close to that. Brock Lesnar had two strong fan bases following his fights, the MMA base and the WWF base but Fedor is not a name here and brings very little buys to the table. Think more a long the lines of 1.4-1.8 million buys. If you recall the attention Mayweather/DLH had it was unreal like nothing ever seen before especially on ESPN where they covered the fight every day, for a whole week. No company would touch MMA like that, seriously.

Pish Posh dude. That's like saying Victor Ortiz V Floyd Mayweather could be the biggest fight of all time ppv wise. You and I both know that isn't going to happen and neither would this. How is Fedor V Lesnar going to do 2.5 million buys? Part of the reason DLH/Floyd went to a crazy number was Floyd was the bad guy and did his thing. You think Fedor who hardly can speak English is going to capture the American audience? You think a meat head like Lesnar can have the charm of the golden boy? It wouldn't come close.

That's what I'm talking about, that fight had a chance to be unbelievably HUGE. People really wanted it and it would have been the first TRUE MEGA Superfight in MMA if both guys met undefeated coming into it as Champions on a streak.
