    Thoughts? Is this good or bad for boxing?

    Sounds pretty gay to me since we have to pay PPV for those fights as opposed to boxing undercards

    Not sure how successful this will be unless HBO bankrolls it the same way they have bankrolled GBP. Afflicition MMA is on the verge of collapse as Fedor is now going to work with UFC because of Couture signing with them for three more fights, and Affliction's two biggest names are Arlovski and Sylvia who have already fought each other twice, Sylvia won both times, and Fedor made Sylvia his *****.

    I prefer Boxing undercards leading to Main Events, so this is not good for me.

    i is a very bad idea because mma fans like this quick action guys getting knocked out or submitted in within 5 mins whereas boxing fans enjoy a great fights like casa v marquez they just can not mix, you either have one or the other

    I ****ing hate to watch most MMA fights, I'm not going to buy a PPV if I know part of my money is going to go to pay for a shitty hug-and-roll fest that I won't even watch. **** that ****. **** that **** right in it's stupid ****ing ass.

    Bernard Hopkins, Sam Peter and Wlad Klitschko will most likely not be on the card, so you don't have to worry about hug fests.

    He said hug-and-ROLL. There is no rolling in boxing.

    If im gonna watch a hug fest there might as well be some rolling involved. Nothing worse then guys standing in one spot and hugging.
