    They are saying Chuck Liddell vs Tito Ortiz 2 will make more Money then...

    Oscar Vs Floyd mayweather....

    I was readin sherdog and they were saying chuck liddells a bigger draw then oscar...and that fight will make close to 1 million ppv buys...or even higher surpassing oscars fight.

    how many of you agree?

    also they said for everyone to order the ufc 65 this week so they can crush the pacquiao fight in numbers so it shows mmas dominance over boxing they want to end it..

          it seems they have a larger fan base and they want to bury the few boxing fans left....why do they want to do this? i enjoy both but why dont they want to clobber wwe ratings why boxing ratings?

          I still believe the pacman fight will due 150,000-200,000ppv buys reason being remember the last lighterweight fight of barrera vs jaurez? it did similar numbers and their was a title involved.

          the ufc 65 will do 700,000 now that i think about it...it may even reach 800,000 ppv buys.

              so you agree this pacman fight will only do 150,000ppv buys...i think they are doing it out of SPITE they despise boxing because alot of those ufc fans never boxed they wrestled in school and before wrestling wasnt fighting now that they can sit on a guy and punch him they are happy they can say they are fighters now.

                I have tried many times to get interested in UFC, but I just can't. For some reason, my mind is telling me that it isn't right to watch two grown men rolling on the ground with their man parts smashing against eachother.

                I know these guys must train hard, maybe even doing a little something something, but I just don't know about it.

                Maybe it is the history of boxing that is stuck in the back of my mind and is clouding my judgment. Boxing goes way back to the ancient times. You see the ancient paintings on the wall in many Greek states/islands, and it becomes mythic. You have fighters that impacted society in some way in the modern era like Jack Johnson, Jack Dempsey, Joe Louis, Muhammad Ali, etc.

                I can watch Pride fighting sometimes when I get the chance, but when it comes to the big fights, I go with boxing.


                I couldn't say it was because the way I grew up, like others have who started out in boxing, no, I grew up studying Karate for many years. So being bias to something I trained in, is not the answer.


                I will see over time what happens...I do allow my mind to be free, but for right now, despite the lack of Heavyweights, and even in the lower weights aren't like they used to be, boxing is still it for me.

                Plus, I wonder if it is because I never was able to get into the WWE thing. I used to watch it way back when it was WWF and had Andre the Giant, Hulk Hogan, and the others were in there, but I out-grew that a while back when I was like 9. Even when it got hot again with the whore ****, I didn't like it.
                I wouldn't be surprised if a lot of the WWE fans are UFC fans. Just a thought.

                  How will it make more money?
                  Lidell already stopped Tito, and Tito is clearly not what he used to be.
