    We're talking a 12 round fight, 36 minutes of boxing, no headgear against one of the top MMA heavyweights in great condition. Totally different story, you can't compare the two.
    And how exactly is Jones going to land on him?

      The appropriate question to ask is, how would he do against The Klit bros.

        UFC PPV Numbers are very up and down, sure GSP can draw well and that is mostly because of Canada
        All ppv numbers are up and down boxing or mma depending of whos fighting who just look at may vs guerrero.Again what numbers do you expect him to have after just 5 years?
        UFC and Jon Jones are doing fine in mma and thats that...

          I will be Honest, I expected more then just 500k+ for the Sonnen fight, nothing wrong with those numbers that is still great but I honestly was expecting at least close to 800k-1M considering all the hype with them being coaches on TUF and Sonnen video on ESPN going viral and all that stuff

          yeah he is still very young into his and I am sure the numbers will only go up for him because like Mayweather is hated by many boxing fans, it is many UFC fans who hate Jones and desperately want to see him lose as well

          but I did expect bigger numbers for Jones vs Sonnen but over 500K is not bad

            To be fair, he should try to challenge Wlad to a boxing match......then let's see what he says, lol.

                Jones has the reach and the weight

                I'm sure Mayweather will adjust

                Jones is quite technically sound (incredibly sound in Muay Thai department... but this is boxing), so don't be assuming he'd be swinging like most MMA fighters do.
