this happens.... http://www.badlefthook.com/2009/7/28/966700/what-if-ufc-decides-to-launch I think this will be good for boxing..Low sales might force PBF to accept 50-50 split against pacquiao (if they both win their upcoming fight)...Then the fight which everyone wants to see will happen soon enough...:good
Nobody even buys the ticket nor the PPV thats why Void has to get a RIB INJURY to move the date so people will even try to buy. There was no plan for 24/7 because you can tell that it was already 2 weeks or less before the bout thats why they moved it. ( 24/7 starts a month before the bout, 4 series = 4 weeks) Even without the UFC it would probably and mostly won't sell.
i don't think this will make a difference floyd's and jmm's fan bases don't give a **** about ufc bull**** for example, mexicans and mexican-americans don't watch that mma crap and honestly at the end of the day to casual fans of just combat sports in general, an hbo ppv fight will always be more prestigious than some mma card if anything this is a bad decision by ufc
why boxing has a market, I have never heard of all these guys, Mayweather v JMM will sell because one is a mexican and the other is a all time great with a big mouth, we know that mexican american's buy alot of PPV's, who cares what UFC does there a joke.
It was said that they could've moved Floyd vs JMM to a week later to avoid having the same date as the UFC, but Floyd insisted on keeping that date. Dana White obviously does not like Floyd Mayweather after all the smack he talks about MMA fighters. He's out to make a point. If he signs Fedor to fight on that date, I definitely expect the UFC event to trounce Floyd vs JMM.. I like boxing much more than MMA, but seeing Fedor in the UFC would be a huge spectacle.
You are badly badly wrong my friend , you are just another un educated MMA hater , beleive me Lesnar Emilianenko will sell more PPV than Mayweather Marquez i will 100% guarantee you that .
you obviously dont know how much UFC generate in their last PPV fight...1.5million buys....and i think 80-90% of these comes from americans....and people care about quality fights.. PBF-JMM is already ****ed up from the start, plus this(IF THIS ACTUALLY HAPPENS)...doesnt look good... And I wont be shocked if Dana White would actually make this happen after PBF insulted UFC..
how does the ufc selling more than the mayweather-marquez fight disprove what i said? my point is that there are two different markets now if pbf-jmm sells 200k or something, u may have a point but obviously its not gonna do 200k
what does ufc ppv #s have to do with anything? now if you showed me that a huge % of them were from mexicans and mexican-american fans then we could have an argument but you can't because they weren't... they were from nascar crowd people who don't watch boxing to begin with
The the majority of boxing fans are now MMA fans too , the majority of fight or martial arts fans are now mma fans , the people on the street who just wanna see entertainment the ones who occasionally pop out to see huge boxing matches (but only the huge ones) are now mma fans . Why ???? , because MMA is more exciting than boxing , a bitter pill to swallow for the pureists of boxing i know , but the truth . The MMA fan market whether you like it or not is bigger than the pool of boxing fans world wide its that simple . And Lesnar Emilianenko is maybe the biggest MMA fight in histroy , in comparison something like a Pac Floyd , or DLH Floyd was !!!!!!
