    I disagree with it but it was a good effort.

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

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.

          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!

                      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.
