So a WWE crossover star is the most popular attraction ever in the UFC. Since Lesnar's last fight they've cracked the million mark just once in four years, with Anderson Silva, who is the UFC P4P equivalent of Floyd, right?

Don't worry about boxing losing Floyd and Manny, you should be worrying about the UFC finding a new WWE star.
That stings.... but it's a good sting. I forgot about Lesnar- but the truth is, as you are alluding to, is that he is the side show for the sport more than he was the face of the sport. A WWE man that already had a fan base prior to getting into the UFC.

He is the equivalent of Mike Tyson after the second Holyfield fight. Simply just a travelling circus.... and, as such, people detested Mike for that farce of a second half of a career. Even Mike himself said in his last fight that he lost that it was time to get out of the game IF he continues to embarrass the sport the way he was doing for the last three years prior.


Goes back to another point I made earlier- UFC/MMA are "events", sorta like the circus or carnival. You go to an event. I like good shows and events. I like David Copperfield and David Blaine. But boxing is a brand sport.... a real professional sport. Just can't compare the two anymore.
