Dana White takes off on Bob Arum again.

[Clint650]

heres a point Dana never seems to bring up. almost all cards done by UFC are PPV and they average one every month. theres free boxing on espn friday night fights, free boxing on Hbo and Showtime, not to mention any spanish and european coverage most of us never have to pay extra for if it's on cable. i dont care about the difference in pay between fighters, im strictly speaking from a paying customer's perspective. so i get my boxing fix every week, i get to watch up and coming fighters fight without having to sit through a reality show to see fights. thats my only beef with MMA. you get Ultimate fighter reality show, Inside MMA, repeats, and some cage fighting on cable but you must pay for the big show. always.

[Clint650]

MMA is not doing as well as it was. if it was my friends would be calling me to get together for the fights like we usually would. it has been awhile. ofcourse none of us want to pay for the Hopkins/ Dawson match, but im sure we'd pay for that before we would pay to see Brock Lesnar fight again.

Thats the one thing they do well. fight bonuses, other then that none of those guys are making shit. Barker just made more then Silva, the so called best MMA fighter ever.

im a pacquiao fan, but theres two types of us pacquiao fans, boxing fans and idiots who never even saw pacquiao fight Marquez before this coming ppv

[Jack Napier]

MMA is for fags and Dana White is a bitch

6000 + sponsors (allowed by the ufc) is much more than 600 on a card that will sell 1kk+ ppv packages...

Anderson Silva gets a PPV cut.

[Simply Zyzz]

no one else see this, where are all the hard top rank fans?
