I Love Boxing But....

..you gotta hand it to the UFC. I mean this months PPV is stacked, and boxing really should take it into consideration. Here's just some of the Fights on the December 27th card.

Main Event

Forrest Griffen VS. Rashad Evans For the UFC Lightheavyweight title

Undercard

Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira Vs. Frank Mir (PPV MAIN EVENTER IN IT'S OWN RIGHT)
Wanderlei Silva Vs. Quinton Jackson (SAME THING GOES AS THE FIGHT ABOVE)
Cheick Kongo Vs. Mustapha Al-Turk (Kongo is an awesome athlete)
Yushin Okami Vs. Dean Lister (Lister is always entertaining)
Matt Hamill Vs. Reese Andy (Hamill is all action)

all boxing promotion companies need to take a little action and step it up

Like the last Lesnar fight, maybe we should get Hulk Hogan in the ring with Klitschko, maybe that would help with sales.

On a serious note, the top guys in boxing ppv don't really want to share the revenue with 8-10 other bigt names on the same night, and also there's the problem with promoters which UFC doesn't have. Of course, something people really don't often mention is that the UFC itself is just one big promotional company, and their champions don't always represent the best in MMA.

THe UFC can do this because they have a monopoly on MMA in the US. That is why the top fighters make only 200k for a huge PPV fight.

Top Rank or Golden Boy could easily do the same...both own most the top talent in bocing

Yeah & I wonder when top MMA guys are going to start demanding more money with boxing like #'s? Coutre & Tito Ortiz have already had their issues with Dana White & there could be more battles like that ahead.

pooooooooint is lol....

boxing needs to put on better cards, and not just great main events

I like both sport, I have no problem with people who likes one or the other only.

I think the reason why boxing dont put on events like the ufc is because boxers that headline the main event has a whole lot more followers then any individual mma fighter.

I got to hand it to mma fighters though, they love to fight and it doesn't matter if the whole night is about them. They just get ready back stage, get in line and wait their turn to fight.

I also dont have any problems with boxings undercard, I like to watch prospect or unknown fighters before the big event. The excitement is you never know what a boxer is going to bring and if his really the next big thing to headline a boxing ppv event.

I think boxing main event is truly an EVENT, and UFC is just the last fight of the night. If you look closely the arena are full until the main event unlike mma its full from start to finish. Plus boxing is more likely to last longer for 12 rounds 3 minutes each round. MMA needs more fight, they can't do like boxing does cause most fights are so short.
