HBO Shitted On UFC Last Night...

Igor (guy in the black) throws casting, looks sloppy to a boxing fan but it's a punching technique Fedor "borrowed" from him. Even if you miss a punch it puts you in a position to clinch or throw. Fucks your hands up bad though. And I love that fight lol, Igor beats the shit out of Enson on the ground and Enson's team literally drags him back to the corner when the round ends and don't throw the towel in until they realize he's pretty much unconscious. Then he was in a coma for a couple weeks.

Mayweather/Marquez: 1 Million
UFC 103: 400,000-600,000
CEO of Golden boy lays the hammer down on Dana White:
Schaefer questioned the legitimacy of UFC pay-per-view results that were leaked. He said HBO is a publicly traded company that would face serious repercussions for releasing false numbers. The UFC, he noted, is a private company with no such concerns.
“I think the UFC and boxing should be able to co-exist and work together in this thing that we call (combat) sports,” Schaefer said.
“I don’t want to talk (expletive) about the UFC. But Dana White can’t do an interview without knocking boxing. If he thinks we’re idiots and don’t know anything about the pay-per-view business, I’ll make him a challenge.
“I am willing to hire one of the top three accounting firms, at my expense, and do an audit of his pay-per-view results. They are nowhere near what is put into the public. There is talk that UFC 100 did 1.6 million, but it barely broke a million. I am willing to pay to have the audits done to prove this.” White said he would not allow anyone other than fighters with a contractual right to do so to audit his numbers.
“Do you think I’m (expletive) crazy?” he said.
But he said he thought that the success of the UFC has forced boxing promoters to be better. He called himself a huge boxing fan and said he is pleased if he can help make the sport he grew up following closely better.
He said the success of the two shows on the same night shows the interest in combat sports.
“I’m a true boxing fan and I’m happy for them, but what that number they pulled shows is the promise of combat sports,” White said.

^^To add on to that remember what Bruce Buffer(Micheal Buffers brother) said about that ppv^^
On Saturday night a pair of combat sports titans will go head to head, when the Ultimate Fighting Championship and Golden Boy Promotions square off in simultaneous pay-per-view cards. And that means we'll have a brother vs. brother battle of ring announcers, with Bruce Buffer saying "It's time" at UFC 103 and Michael Buffer calling "Let's get ready to rumble" for Floyd Mayweather Jr vs Juan Manuel Marquez. I talked to Bruce Buffer last week, and he said he's confident the UFC show will win the night on pay-per-view.
"Michael and I don't go head-to-head on purpose, but we do when that's the way the date falls, that we both have events," Bruce Buffer said. "I think the UFC has reached the point where fans appreciate the brand, and all the shows are successful. I'm surprised Golden Boy took the risk of taking on the UFC. The chance of losing pay-per-views doesn't make sense."
Bruce Buffer said that he has long loved boxing and has been around it as a fan and as a manager of his brother, but he thinks that in recent years, the UFC has so far surpassed boxing that even major fights like Mayweather-Marquez can't beat a show like UFC 103 on pay-per-view. Buffer mentioned that he thinks the HBO 24/7 series does a great job of selling the fighters, but he said boxing simply no longer has the large numbers of passionate fans that the UFC now does.
"Now is the UFC's golden age," Bruce Buffer said. "Because of the leadership of Dana White and the Fertitta brothers, there's just been this explosion of the UFC brand as the biggest sport on pay-per-view."

LMAO he couldnt have been more wrong...
lol dana white is a idiot for saying "ufc is bigger than boxing and wwe combined" hahaha "men lie, women lie numbers dont" he's not putting a card on the same day as mayweather/pacquiao because he doesn't want to get spanked and embarrassed again i dont care if he had brock vs fedor for free on spike and espn the world would still choose boxing...
Maybe you don't understand how a business works? You don't go out and tell everyone you're inferior to the competition. 
You keep talking about one night, one boxing match vs UFC 103. I don't think there's any question that boxing mega fights get a lot more PPV buys than UFC events. But how many of those million+ PPV boxing matches were there this year? How many UFC PPV events were there this year?
I could be wrong, but I'm thinking that over the course of the year the UFC got more PPV buys than boxing. Even shitty UFC cards pull in 200K+ buys.

Pacman can fight anyone he wants.
Mayweather can fight anyone he wants.
Berto vs Mosley winner will move onto bigger things.
Cotto will be back for one or two more big fights.
Margarito will be back in the first quarter of next year.
That's basically 1 division.
Hopkins vs Dawson would be huge.
Adamek and Hayes are both making noise in the HW division.
Plus we still have the super six tournament going on...
Those are all major.
UFC offers recycled fights. They have a very small pool of talent to choose from.

theres only one rematch I can think of in the next 50 fights (4 PPVs & a fight night) in the UFC. Then there's Chuck-Tito III on TUF some time in the future and Shogun-Machida II for the title in may. So I don't know where you're getting the recycled fights part from, and the talent pool comment doesn't really make sense either.
