Message: [QUOTE="TheChamps990411, post: 2904650, member: 662"] Lol! Starts by saying "UFC taking over as the peoples combat sport" then says "boxing has come out on top 13 out of 16 years" Then they try to compare Floyds FIRST 4 ppvs to Conors which is absolutely stupid comparison used to fit the narrative they want. How about we add up the total ppvs of Floyds and Conor? Floyd 24 million Conor 9mil. Floyds last 4 ppvs beat conors. Floyds best 4 ppvs beat conors. You see, i can pull numbers up that back my narrative too. Also theres a reason has equaled and even surpassed boxing ppvs recently and its well, because the two biggest stars in the sport for over a decade is either retired or semi retired at the tail end of their career. Boxing has one box office star right now and thats Canelo. Boxing didnt get a torch bearer from Floyd because he chose to fight scrubs and mma fighters instead of giving one of the young champions a fight which couldve propeled them to stardom with a win like De la hoya did for floyd and manny. The point is boxing isnt going anywhere and ive heard this same tired ass argument for the last ten years and its tiring. It was the same argument i heard for about the same time that an mma guy could beat a boxing guy but a boxing guy could never win in the cage. So far one was wrong and the second clearly wrong. Its like mma fans have penis envy or something. Both sports are fantastic and theres plenty of money and fans to go around and for one to wish for the demise of the other is idiocy. My comment was not that the ufc is losing ppv money and will be out of business my point was that many and id dare say most fighters in the ufc outside of a handful arent happy with the amount of money they get paid. These are facts. All its going to take for the ufc to go under is for some promotor to sign a couple mma guys and put millions in their pockets. If there comes a day that mma fighters could make millions per fight outside of the ufc using a structure similar to boxing the top guys are going to leave and the ufcs days will be numbered. Conor Mcgregor the biggest star in the sport just took a two year layoff from the sport because of all the money he made in a BOXING PPV EVENT! It took Dana white to up Conors pay big time for him to come back as conor was considering another boxing event and was in no rush to come back to the ufc. Now you got other guys like Stipe, Diaz and a couple other guys wanting to get in the boxing ring for big pay days that they know theyll never see in the ufc. Its talk but these guys want to get paid more than what their getting. [/QUOTE]
