The UFC pack out the O2 everytime they come here.. and that's even without their major stars.
David Haye sold 3000 tickets for his last fight there.![]()

UFC rather cleverly package their events on a monthly basis WWF style in order to sell tickets as opposed to boxing which pretty much just goes with a schedule.
Anyway im pretty sure ice hockey, horse equestrian etc have sold out at the o2 before...doesnt make them bigger than boxing does it.
All you need is 10,000 UFC nuts from a population of 60 odd million to fill out an arena!!!
one dangerous horrible bloke
I don't get what you're saying?
All 10,000 Brit UFC fans attended the same event?
David Haye is meant to be a new exciting heavyweight star, he's very well known in Britain, goes on plenty of non-boxing tv/radio shows, yet couldn't sell more than 3000 tickets for his fight.
The last UFC promotion at the 02 I had never even heard of the guys. They did like 15,000 tickets.
How come they can slaughter one of the worlds most famous/exciting boxers, in his hometown, with a bunch of nobodies?

you better believe its dying out.... more like it DIED out.
I used to tune in every Saturday afternoon at 4 p.m. on channel 7, regular t.v., on Wide World of Sports wioth Howard Cosell, and see fights like Larry Holmes vs Earnie Shavers, Muhammad Ali vs Bob Foster, Foreman vs Lyle, Holmes vs Witherspoon, Snipes vs Holmes, etc....
Now you get to pay 50 bucks to watch bums like Larry Donald, Sam Peter, Jameel McCline, and other bums too.
Yes if it has not already died out, it is certainly about to die out.
Unless the next Ken Norton or Evander Holyfield or Ron Lyle come along soon, then just maybe it can be revived.
MMA is the gay...

MMA is THE gay!!! hahaha. Love it.
I really can't get into two guys rolling around on the floor together.The rounds are waaaay too long. They should stand up the guys on the floor way more often than they do.
I think boxing is here to stay. My pops had it right. He's 81, still watches boxing religiously. He, like myself, loves the lighter weight classes now, has incredible insight on fights, and can tell from the opening bell who the better fighter is.
Boxing has so much more CLASS than MMA.

- and I quote from some random guy on the internet
It is only a matter of time before MMA snuffsthe last breath out of boxing.....
Per Dana White
I will be leaving boxing soon as I cannot afford the subscription channels and I use to record any boxing that was on the TV
Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.
The critics will be talking about boxing dying for years....which will also show boxing aint going no where. This sport has survived well tons of other companies have not, even with the silly sanctioning, belts that are worth less than the one i wore to work so on and so forth. MMA and thier supporters for good reason are the main one's drumming up this crap.
Hidden Content Click clack ! Give up the purse.........or yetti will find you.
Boxing isn't dying, it's not mainstream, but it's not dying. If Boxing was dying then people wouldn't be interested in it. The people still but PPVs and sell out arenas even when two bums are fighting. Like on Friday Night Fights usually it's always a sell out. In the world it's still like 3rd or 4th in terms of popularity. Boxing is not dying all that's why it is still setting records in buys in PPVs.
