    In case some of you guys didnt notice the Mayweather vs Marquez card which includes Michael Katsidis's Interim world title & Perth based Chris John's Featherweight title defense will be shown on tape delay on Tuesday 22nd September 48 hours after it is already completed.
    Instead Main Event are going with UFC 103 PPV on Sunday Sept 20.

    Sad sad day for us boxing fans in Australia as the Mayweather vs Marquez fight card is easily 1 of the best of the year & features an Australian fighter & a Australian based Indonesian on the televised undercard.

    I emailed Main Event voicing my opinions & hoping they would also be showing Klitschko-Arreola & Pavlik-Williams in the coming weeks after.
    Im awaiting a response...doubt i will even get 1.

    This is the first time, UFC has been bumped for boxing all previous occasions (UFC 100 being the last)

    I think this represents how the PPV figures are going, UFC are getting pretty damm good figures now and boxing PPVs which don't feature Hatton or DLH struggle

    Gonna be a download now for this one

    All has to do with Timing....I hate mainevent at times but this is not their fault as they already had booked the Mayweather fight for when it was meant to take place.....So booking the UFC fight was no problem until mayweather pulled out hurt and they changed the date for the same day as the UFC.

    Main Event already booking the UFC had no chance but to go ahead with it as planned, THOUGH IT SUCKS and i wished they would change it as Katsidis is a friend and a great fighter not seeint it live will suck BUT heres hoping the pubs show it.

    But main event are joking if they think we will pay out $40 for a 2 day delay fight.

    I bet Mainevent will try to get out of the UFC103, there going to lose a bit of money on this, Mayweather v JMM would do very good numbers and it is a very big fight. UFC must have a strong contract with main event, with this card. Mayweather injury has **** up Mainevent and boxing fans

    and its only franklin vs belfort on ufc 103. Nothing to jizz over. Ok cro cop is fighting on the same card but its not a title fight and cro cop isnt as good as he used to be...

    Is this fight really better (even for UFC fans) than Money vs JMM??????

    that is a crazy decision, so one of the greatest boxers in our time gets bumped aside for a couple of semi street brawls wrestling matches? what a joke...
