    Most people don't know this but Holly was the one who took those fishnet pics & she gots more of them. Hence Oscar big upping her PPV fight.

    I think Oscar is a fan of MMA. Remember he was close to creating his own MMA league back in the day. And probably first & foremost I wouldn't be surprised if the UFC threw him some $$$ to hype it on his social media either.

        It is because Holly Holm was a Pro Boxer herself, UFC does a masterful job Promoting so they're likely trying to make that fight with a MMA Fighter vs Boxer undertone to it to help make Rousey a even BIGGER STAR!

        Boxing could learn a lot from the UFC and how they Market!

              Why? They are two completely different sports. Would you start crying if Oscar starting promoting Tennis? You don't see Footballers and NFL players arguing despite both being played on a pitch with goal posts and a ball.

              MMA and Boxing can both be individual and fantastic sports.

                i know what you're trying to get at,
                but oscar promoting tennis is very different from oscar promoting mma.
                MMA and Boxing is compared A LOT. nobody compares boxing with tennis.
                some appreciate both, others like to pick "the better" one.

                      But why does it matter? Why does it matter if one person enjoys one, the other or both? Why can't someone watch Golovkin fight and enjoy it and then watch Mcgregor fight on a UFC card and enjoy it?

                      Absolutely baffles me. If I said on this forum that I preferred watching professional bowling over Boxing people would either laugh or ignore me, if I said I prefer watching UFC over boxing (I don't for the record but I enjoy both) then there would be 200+ replies saying UFC is gay or something like that when in reality it doesn't make a difference.
