Comparing Fox UFC to Fox Boxing is beyond ******. Fox spends and average of over $100,000,000 per year on UFC...

That is pretty good for what was a commercial for a bigger fight. Could not ask for much better for Santa-Cruz-Mares II game dudes who brought it to the names but just were not in their league.

You could read it as they could easily invest more in boxing especially if they lose UFC, but they could as well just as part of their overall porfolio although that number would probably be more modest.

UFC now wants more than $450,000,000 a year. With like a 10 year contract.

Hopefully FOX wises up and use that money for boxing instead of guys rolling around naked on top of each other dry humping each other. Their stars have already been exposed to be inferior to boxing stars...

Why would boxing fans root for free boxing to fail on TV? I don't get it.

Because a lot of "fans" these days are fans of promoters perhaps because of their feelings towards a certain fighter they love and a fighter they hate.

They don't want the sport to succeed. Just a handful of guys and they hold the rest of the sport and it's competitors in contempt. They can only deal with one or two guys succeeding.

Boxing needs all shows to get great viewings and create more and more draws so that we can consistently get the matches we deserve. I am speaking on behalf of Boxing fans though.

That's the thing, UFC wants an insane amount of money. PBC is the hedge against the UFC for FOX. I'd bet money that PBC gets a Fox deal worth more than the HBO budget..

I think they get a deal either way just both sides know the deal if Fox gets a UFC maybe a slight uptick but serious and if UFC bounces they have a much larger package on their mind.

Right now is the time to BUY!!! Now that PBC got rid of all that flash and side show stuff the fights are dirt cheap!!! I mean last Saturdays Showtime card was all done for under $2 million. And the Fox one for around $1.5

Give boxing $450 MILLION a year! And youll have better fighters than Ronda Rousey and Connor McGreggor.
