How can anyone say Boxing wouldnt be better off being run like the UFC?

Agree with this post. Harry nut sack. Even though you didn't respond to my breakdown of the Condit/Hendricks fight. I worked my ass off to write that up, and you treat it like trash. LOL. JK.

i responded on sherdog.

I disagree with it but it was a good effort.

I'll give you green-K for the effort.

Many boxing fans also fail to realize that many boxers fight for peanuts until they are on the big stage. Now while the superstars of boxing make WAY more than the superstars of UFC, the undercard fighters in both sports make very little money. After making million dollar paydays, a guy like Kelly Pavlik was offered just $50k for his comeback fight. I remember Zab Judah fighting for just $15k.

Good point. Most guys in boxing are scraping a living, even guys at the highest level. People talk about boxing being better for the fighters because of the money guys like Mayweather and Pacquiao make. Well after those guys there's a real big drop off.

The UFC are a bloodsucking corrupt sanctioning body. They are a greedy corrupt rival promoter preventing big fights from happening because they prefer to do in-house fights.

UFC is not a sport, its called MMA and there are MANY champs per division, but these are promotional champs. Imagine a Top Ranks or Golden Boy champion

You have to be contracted under UFC to be a champ or even fight a UFC fighter. This is much worse then the way boxing is run

If I'm not mistaken, the other other major MMA organization is Strikeforce which is a good organization in itself. My point is, not every mma fighter around the world is going to be able to fight in the same organization but as long as those within each organization are fighting each other without the ducking drama and politics that happen in boxing, those fans are happy!

UFC bot strikeforce and shut them down earlier this year.

Oh ok. So basically there's UFC then there's just small venue independent mma events.

Actually there's Bellator. They put on some pretty decent cards and have some fights tonight. As a matter of fact, if you click the bellator link at the top of this page, they are streaming the fights live as we speak.

I think so, but it was merged to the big thread.

I'll remain anonymous, but you could possibly guess who i am. Keep it to yourself though!

Were you the guy asking if I was inITtoWINit on boxingscene?

from a fans perspective i understand what you are saying but ask a lot of fighters how well run the ufc really is. i think the biggest difference is in boxing fighters see roughly some where from 70-80% of the revenue from an event where as in ufc it is estimated the fighters see 10-15% of the revenue

Yes, and if you fight really well in the main event you might make $50,000 whole dollars.Stop with the UFC ****. Let Lou D or Kathy Duva be co-comish and have them broker fights.It's the same problem with UFC,only worse. Let me know when prime Fedor fights Steroid Freak Lesnar or Silva fights St Perry.Better yet don't let me know...I don't care.
