Less and less PPV is good for the fans and the sport in general. It would be idiotic to support those expensive PPV cards. There's no comparison in the total number of boxing cards vs. total number of MMA cards all over the world. It's laughable to compare those 2 numbers. Boxing pulverize MMA.

You're actually just comparing the sheer number of cards lol?

I'm talking about cards that actually make big money, including big television money.

Now PPVs are for bad boxing LOL? Nice spin. So if boxing were doing well with PPVs like during the Pacquiao-Mayweather era, you'd be saying that was bad for boxing, right?

Is everyone just an advocate nowadays? Nobody can just search for the truth anymore - it's all advocacy BS with people nowadays.

You mean UFC makes more money than Boxing? hahaha That's hilarious.

Do you agree that more boxing on free TV (or not PPV) is really really good for the fans and the sport?

Boxing is a WAAAAY BIGGER industry than UFC/MMA will ever be. That will NEVER change.

Yep that's the way it is. That's why UFC will venture/invest in Boxing rather than keep it's money solely for UFC/MMA.

I of course agree with this statement. Unfortunately, Floyd was right - boxers are paid too much, so we can't have cards on CBS, NBC, FOX and ABC only because only the main events would garnish any ratings at all. If boxers were paid less, then promoters could stack cards, and I don't see that happening because the Ali act really weakened promoters.

Good, we're on the same boat with that...

But do you still believe that UFC makes more money than Boxing? hehe

The UFC makes more money than Bottom Rank - that's for sure.

Bob just telling it like it is, no one wants to see two men hug each other on the ground like its The Notebook movie!

No one wants to see a man -woman fight a woman and call that amazing fighting!

Boxing is taking the UFC to the cleaners and now they want in on the pie!

Bob was right!
