Like how WCW isn't really as popular as WWF... It all revolves around Network coverage.

What am I missing
WCW no longer exists. It went under and went bankrupt about 9 years ago.

And it was bought by WWF.

Which is now called the WWE.

Really?! Oh...

If so then... Case in point!
The XYZ's should look to do the same!!!
WCW was taken over by WWE ( then WWF ) but Eric Bischoff the money man behind it has branched off and joined forced with Hogan who now have Tna wrestling. They have no hope competing with boxing but are having a ratinsg war with Vince. Their leading star was Bobby Lashley but he asked for release from his contract so he join strikeforce ( the rival to UFC ) to take up real fighting. They want to build him up in a rival organisation like they did with Lesnar and when those two meet it will be huge.

Boxing didnt have any massive fights featuring Americans so its not too surprising that a small Peurto Rican vs a small Filipino didnt outsell a fight between two Amercian heavyweight cage fighters. Mosley vs Floyd will do well because they are both Yanks.
