What would it take for boxing to be owned by one promoter, like UFC?

[MaskedMurderer]

give Haymon a couple more years

nope.

People dont understand his main attraction was getting people huge money against mediocre opposition. Once floyd leave he has no leverage, he doesnt have the next star and he has alot of fighters in the same weight class that he been protecting by feeding them other fighters but they gonna have to fight each other so 50% of his fighters are gonna be losers sooner then later.

If boxing had a UFC type organization, just made up of guys from showtime and hbo.. We would be getting

Floyd-manny
Porter Thurman
Wlad stiverne
Serg ggg
Khan Bradley
Gamboa mikey
Danny Lucas 2
Peterson Herrera

Those fights would be happening this year

Only if they pay these fighters the kind of millions they are getting now. If they tried to pay them the chump change the UFC pays it's best fighters they would refuse to fight.

Boxing doesn't have to follow the same pay scale as UFC, just the matchmaking format.. UFC does do a bad job of paying fighters

Just using it as an example, Herrera def deserves a rematch as well..

all rematches to title fights.... The ones pre 2007 when pride was still around don't really even count as UFC wasn't the world leader like it is today and their roster was super small....
The current fights you mentioned Henderson lost up in weight and then came down to fight silva,,
Machida and Edgar fights were title rematches when champ lost..

Why don't you list current fights that UFC gave a title shot to that the challenger lost a non title fight and then got a title shot.. Your acting like all these guys weren't deserving of a title shot..
Did you really think shogun didn't deserve a rematch with machida.. Lmao

I guess he doesnt understand rematches like boxing hasn't had rematches or what about one of the 26383023 titles in a single division just to make a championship fight. What did manny win vs rios the wbc silver platinum intercontinental latin america championship of the universe title?
One thing I respect about the ufc is the best fight the best no bull no catchweight no glove disputes no special rules or agendas simple the best fighter that night wins because he's better

Miesha Tate vs Rousey 2. Sonnen's last fight in the division was a loss in a non title fight to Sobral.

I backed up my claims. Now point out a championship fight on PPV in boxing with a fighter coming off a loss in the division?

Sonnen comment is completely wrong, he was on a winning streak coming into both silva fights and was actually beating ranked guys, and heading into the jones fight he lost to silva in the fight before..
As for boxing, all the contenders don't fight anyone to get a title shot, they all fight protective schedules and will fight one meaningful fight and the winner gets a shot,, in UFC you have to constantly take on ranked guys..
Boxing all you have to do is beat Berto, or some other c level guy and you get a shot... Who had porter beaten to get his title shot, or pauli for his title shot, or Ortiz, or stiverne... They all beat up on lesser competition, the fight one ranked guy, and if they win they get a title shot.. It's much easier to manufacture a win streak in boxing than it is in UFC

Sara McMann headlined the second biggest UFC PPV this year and made 16 thousand dollars.

This is how the UFC operates. Paying PPV headliners 16,000 dollars.

02/01/2014 UFC 169 Barao vs Faber II 230,000 PPV buys
02/22/2014 UFC 170 Rousey vs McMann 340,000 PPV buys
03/15/2014 UFC 171 Hendricks vs Lawler 300,000 PPV buys
04/26/2014 UFC 172 Jones vs Teixeira 350,000 PPV buys

Look at those PPv buy rates.. Those are on par with any boxing PPv that doesn't have Floyd or manny... For doing a PPv every 6 weeks or so, those are very good numbers.. UFC is missing a mega star like Floyd or manny to get huge numbers but boxing was like that 10 years ago before manny n Floyd reach superstardom..

Good post, totally agree... I love boxing, but like you said, UFC the best fight the best in the divisions, and there is no disputes about gloves, weights, etc.. If boxing was like that, it would be a much bigger sport than it is today

exactly, the only format i was talking about was how ufc is just one promotion, and they are able to make the super fights happen. I never said copy them, their pay scales need a lot of work.

Or should we say Danny deserves a rematch. Lol jk DSG all day baby!
