But yea a UFC of boxing would be great. But UFC screws their fighters in other way most importantly money
They would have to bid at market levels in boxing same as everyone else but bring a lot of new fans.

So Arum is a scum just because he's been investigated? What else? What have YOU done for boxing?

Ali, Tyson, Leonard, Louis are cultural icons, not just in boxing.
MMA has yet to create ONE cultural icon.

There are cultural icons in boxing too in other countries that are popular throughout the world and even more than most of the guys you listed. Pacquiao for example, HUGE in Asia.
Back to MMA......
You don't think McGregor is a cultural icon in his own country?
What about Royce Gracie?
I can tell you don't know much about that sport so you have no room to diss on it.

At one point Muhamad Ali ws the most famous man in the world, not just America.
Yes, people can be icons in their own country, but there are those like Ali, Tyson, Ronaldo, Michael Jordan, Tiger Woods, David Beckham that cross borders.
MMA hasn't produced ONE guy like that yet

Actually MMA has, Royce Gracie is an icon, same thing with Chuck Liddell, another one is Rhonda Rousey who made it HUGE for women. History will remember her due to bringing women's MMA mainstream. You're not looking outside the box.
You think people give or gave a shit about Ali in Mexico or other parts of the world that wasn't Africa? They care wayyyyy more about someone like Chavez Sr. just like the Philippines cares more about Pacquaio than someone like Mayweather, Tiger Woods, Ali, and others. That's just how the world works man! Go out and travel more.

Dana White should resurrect a K1 styled fighting event! (More boxers would be willing to cross over into K1, in comparison to UFC etc)...

Muhammad Ali was the most famous person on the planet in his prime.
Mike Tyson was the most athlete in the world in his prime.
Guys like David Beckham, Ronaldo, & Messi aren't that famous in America, but that doesn't mean that they're not world famous.
There's no way Manny Pacquiao and Royce Gracie are as famous in the WORLD as MIke Tyson was in the '80s or Muhammad Ali was in the 1970s.
Ali was a superstar in England, which is why The Beatles were obsessed with him AND he was a superstar in the Islamic world because he was the world's most famous ******
YOu mentioned the Philippines.
Where do you think the "Thrilla in Manilla" happened?Last edited by The D3vil; 11-07-2017, 05:38 PM.
