The UFC has more PPV cards, free quality PPV worthy fight night cards,. TUF is a hot show with big time ratings.....Not too mention the fact they also put on the undercards for free to entice us....They do free shows for the troops etc...

The UFC has only 1 brand they worry about and do not try to compete with anyone else unlike boxing has let's say Arum....Arum and others like him put on shit bouts after shit bouts taking us for all fools....90% of the time we all end up bitching about the quality of cards or even under cards more then not turn out to be better then the main event....

What if White and the UFC entered boxing, signed fighters and put on cards the way they do in the UFC?....Then they made their own title?......I mean shit Pride, COG, WEC etc all inspire to be the UFC and UFC has boughten a few out....In fact fighters strive just to fight in the UFC let alone be a UFC champion....

1 out of every 8 UFC cards are just OK but almost NEVER suck....
(if you are an MMA fan I am speaking of because you hardly ever hear MMA fans bitching about the sports quality).....

UFC 126 PPV portion consisted of....John Jones Vs Ryan Bader, Forrest Griffith Vs Rich Franklin, Anderson Silva Vs Vetor Belfort....

That is boxings equal to.....Floyd Vs Manny, Cotto Vs Berto and JuanMa Vs Gamboa......

The President is an average Joe who does not sugar coat or bullshit, they have no sanctioning fees, the PPV cards are cheaper.....

In short they are business men in the UFC who know how to keep not only fans but fighters happy, have a legit champion because there is only ONE champion.....

I won't keep going on because I do not want to seem like I am a big MMA nut because boxing is the sport I love but personally I would love to see Dana White get involved in boxing.....

Anyone who knows about MMA look at the last 10 UFC PPV cards then look at boxings and there is no comparison......

IMO they would bury King, Arum, GBP, GSP, Warren ect in terms of quality and in terms of the way the champions they have are looked at....

Any thoughts or am I just crazy for thinking so?


Yha more PPV cards that shouldn't be PPV. Just squeezing the working man for every dollar until they catch on. And PPV are less money? Really? LOL What $10?

And Dana would do nothing for Boxing. And in a couple years you will ask what would ARUM do for UFC...why? Cause UFC is headed down the same road that Boxing is and we can say Dana is a young Arum...why?

Dana will never, ever, ever have Silva and GSP fight just like Arum will never let Pac fight Mayweather

They are milking there cows!
I don't get the sarcasm. UFC PPV's are doing as well if not better than boxing. It's only the mega fights with cross over appeal that do better for boxing. Certainly the live gates are doing better than boxing. They have done a great job of promoting UFC, the sport, and I look at it as being more violent than boxing. Yet it doesn't appear to get the bad rap that boxing has.

I don't the there is anyone who can do for boxing more than the fighters can. The only way the promoters can help boxing is by somehow getting the sanctioning bodies to come up with a single ranking system.



Sarcasm? I was replying to the post that MMA has more PPV cards and they are cheaper. I replied cheaper? What by $10? As in UFC is not much cheaper...Still $50 at the end of the day. And Dana is milking the crap by having crappy PPV. Some of those PPV cards should have been TV bouts. He has even given some events free from PPV in the past to make up for shittty PPV events he charged for.

Compare the last 10 UFC PPV to the last 10 boxing and you can not say that the boxing ones beat them out......As for the Arum comments I mentioed specifically Manny...Same goes for Floyd, Mosley, Jones Jr, DLH when he fought...Guys like that the promoter bends over to kiss their ass,,,,,,the UFC has not problem putting in their top cash money makers in dangerous fights Silva Vs Belfort was proof one not to mention what history has shown
