I would buy this shit in a heart beat. Most people seem to be tuned in to the idea that no MMA fighter, or boxer, could make the transition into the other sport. I'm not saying that is true or not but I would love to watch the fight that sets the precedent.

I don't believe this to be true. I don't think that most people think that someone can't make a successful transition, it's the thought that someone can make a transition instantly into the high ranks of another sport. There's a huge difference in between the sports and if Anderson was fighting a random journeyman LHW/CW then that'd be fine, but to immediately challenge someone like Roy Jones with his limited experience doesn't seem all that likely that he'd have a chance at winning.

i got a pirate satellite box....looks better on my flat screen. But yeah, not paying $49.95 for each event is still the main idea.

There's a difference between watching and buying. If I don't think the product is worth the money then I'm not coming out of pocket for it. A demolition of Anderson Silva in boxing wouldn't be worth the money to me but there's no doubt I'd watch.

I would, but am weary that Jones is turning his comeback into a Holyfield-esque sideshow.
I wouldn't go that far...he seems to still have plenty in the tank, even at his age and after the layoff. I don't rank him at the top of his division, but he's no slouch, either. Holyfield benifits from not having fought anyone in his comeback, IMO; maybe that's why I see him more as a ''sideshow'' than Jones.

Yes, even though I think Silva would get pummled. The same way Roy or any other boxer probably would, when entering an MMA fight.


Would probably be entertaining just based on who they are tho...with all of the debate going around between the two sports.
