Boxers like Jones Jr missing the point of MMA

[Kev]

Roy is one of those names that MMA fans know even if they don't know shit about boxing. More so than most guy that make up the P4P list.

Maybe Silva has just always wanted to fight Roy but I have no doubt a major part of it is the money, I'm still interested in finding out if anybody's made over a million for a fight in the UFC. The money issue will almost certainly become one of Dana White's problems over time. I'm sure some of the top level MMA guys look at boxing, they hear all this about MMA replacing boxing and then they look at the salaries and think WTF?

Nick Diaz called out Allan Green about a week or so ago. And has signed some sort of boxing contract. Apparently. Not a contract with Allan Green.

If they have it will surely only be Lesnar or Chuck Liddell.

I ahve no doubt the best fighters are millionaires, Couture, Liddell, Jackson, Huges etc but I can't imagine guys like Chris Leben, Mac Danzig, Clay Guida etc are rolling in dough.

I suspect a good bit of their money is from sponsors and owning their own gyms, that type of thing.

LOL. Frank Mir should just start dealing meth.

I would get in the ring with Lesnar for 45 grand though. Fuck it. I wrestled in high school. I lost once to a guy from the state's school for the blind and the deaf. True story. I don't think he was really blind though, kind of blurry maybe. They had albino cheerleaders, I was psyched out.
