In reality they should be earning more like Pac/May paydays for that fight but that would never happen. The UFC is too cheap to pay what Bradley got against Pac. Jumping weight is not an excuse, not to mention Fedor-Brock and they literally canceled any chance of Fedor-Couture with lawsuits.

Floyd's wasn't the first but how does the p4p king get to cry about another fighters legal gloves and gets his way??? How does he dodge the biggest fight in recent history??? Nothing against Floyd but you mentioned him so I spoke about him. There's one tu of other things hat occur in boxing that makes it look dumb.
        NO i didnt, havent mention floyd once.

              All these fools on here can only say, UFC don't make super fights

              Gsp- silva is a 15 lbs jump,, Floyd gonna jump up 15 lbs to fight serg nope

              Please all you mma haters, tell me when a guy in UFC didn't get a title shot... Every weight class the top contender earns his shot by beating other top contenders and then gets a shot at the champ and the champs only defends top level guys..

              In boxing we never get the two best in a weight class fighting

              Serg-ggg
              Floyd-manny, Bradley

              Boxing can't even make the fights in their own weight division.. It's pathetic, hence why espn has shows solely dedicated to mma and not boxing..

              Let's not pretend that boxing has it's crap in order, when it doesn't

                Boxing is the greatest sport ever, but it's a complete joke as an actual sport with rules and scheduling
