Cant be bad for Fight Fans?

Yes i heard about this its meant to be happening when Andersons contract ends with UFC and its going to be a boxing match not a MMA fight.

What is this obsession with wanting Anderson and vice versa? I don't understand it, there really is no money to be made and it does not do anything for their careers and who cares what the outcome would be. If they want each other so bad then go on some remote island somewhere and duke it out.

I can see the fight selling well because it would draw mma and boxing fans. I would favor Andersen to win at this stage in both fighters careers.

It would be more interesting if he took on Chad Dawson, but it seems fair to choose a past prime Roy Jones seeing that Andersen isn't known as a pro boxer and is not so young himself.

As far as boxing goes I dont think Anderson has a chance. However if it was MMA then Roy Jones would not have a chance. Look what happens to people in the ufc when they come in with one skill. They loose and have to learn other styles in order to compete.
A proffessional boxer has a massive advantage over an MMA fighter in a boxing match. Boxing is only a part of an MMAs training.

I cant see how there's no money to be made from a fight like this?

Two worlds colliding...? Its a crazy product, i hope it happens

This would be a HUGEEEEEEEEE fight! I don't know where you're from jon09, but UFC/MMA fights get a ton of PPV buys, and countless number of bars show the PPV's.. Not to mention that Silva is one of the King's of MMA. This would be HUGE!

[GAME]

So when does Silvas contract run out then?

Its clear nobody in Ufc can test him so I hope it happens. Sooner the better cuz Roy is in rapid decline but I dont see where the winner goes in this fight.

Yes I understand they UFC/MMA get a ton of money but how is a fight like this gonna make millions? If it was a prime Roy Jones then maybe but he is way past his prime and to me really would not bring anything to the table for this. I see why Dana White is not intested. And like I said before whats the point if it happens, Roy has no belts and he would get killed if it was an mma fight against the number 1 p4p mma fighter. Sorry I would rather watch golf that day if and when this fight happens. More power to the rest of you that want to watch it.

Anderson Silva is reknowned for his superior striking ability, so, on that basis i feel he would be able to take an ageing Roy Jones. This fight could happen soon as Anderson's UFC contract requires him to have 3 more fights, which should have happened by mid 2010
