    LOL MMA is declining. The fad is over. They just sold 400k with rampage.

    Thats with the UFC counting buys from most of North America.

    HBO and the rest of boxing count only from the US.

      Boxing snobs hate Dana White for whatever personal reasons they may have, but what they cant deny is, If boxing were run the way the UFC were currently run, this sport would be in much better shape. Especially from a fans perspective. Boxing snobs complain that Dana underpays his fighters, yet when you have a guy like Pacquiao or Mayweather fighting only 1-2 times a year, or in Floyd's case, once every 2 years, you complain! Why?...because when you're giving a guy $40mil, he doesnt have to fight often. Good for the fighter, bad for the paying fans.

          Maybe because he is a loud mouth idiot with no respect or class? Just a thought.


          Boxing isn't the UFC. Boxing has a large amateur system, a pool of fighters 100 times bigger then MMA. Boxing ran like the UFc would be a train wreck.

          Thats the exceptiion, not the rule, and last time I checked almost all big UFC fighters fight 2 maybe 3 times a year. Pac fights 2-3 times a year, Floyd does whatever he wants, and the rest of big boxing names fight 3-4 times a year.

            But how many big quality boxing matchups do we get per year? 2?....Maybe 3! How many megafights? 1?....maybe 2 if that. Dana is putting on big cards every month or so. Boxing fans dont have to like mma. On the other hand, UFC/MMA fans are quite satisfied. Cant say the same for us boxing fans.

            He now has a multi year contract with Fox and is planning to show several FREE fights per year. Boxing fans can only dream of somthing like this. Dana is definitely doing something right!

                What are you talking about? boxing gets tons of good quality matchups a year. Literally dozens. So what if Pac/May havent fought. Thats one fight only casuals would say is a make or break for boxing. I really don't see how you can be a fan of boxing and make that comment, but maybe you arent.

                UfC is the ultimate hype machine, they base everything off of the fact that these guys are in the UFC so they are the best. You can say all those matches are the best, but I could care less.

                  You're just not a fan of mma/ufc and that's cool. I myself am a boxing fan first and foremost, but I tune in when there are FREE UFC cards. Speaking to UFC fans though, they are quite satisfied with what Dana is providing. They have a Major fight between 2 undefeated champions coming up for FREE on channel 5, whereas we here have to pay to see a fight like Bhop vs Dawson!

                      Bhop vs Dawson was because HBO had no money left. That woould never usually be on PPV.

                      Good for them, but no one besides hardcore MMA fans know those guys. It might help them gain some viewrs, who knows.
