    There have been 59 American title holders. THe next closest is Brazil with 9. And as of now there are 2 American born champions. BJ Penn and Brock Lesnar.

    I never said it was created so Americans could win championships. I said it is marketed towards white Americans, and because of white Americans visibility in the sport, in contrast to boxing, thats where its popularity and target audience lays. Thus the rock music, tattoos and atmosphere.

    He's the heavyweight champion of the world. :lol: YOu know what the Klitschkos get per fight?

    As I said, MMA fighters get paid ****. Boxers get paid top dollar, plus the fact that boxing fans arent going to pay 50 bucks to see two journeymen go at it on the ground for 3 rounds.

    WE AGREE WITH YOU!!!!

    Go back and read my first post (the one that you argued with my joke of a PPV...which was weird)...you will see that we agree. My point, as well as the point of this post, was to point out that regardless of the FACT that MMA is not as popular (in ticket sales, revenue, PPV buys, profit, star power, etc.), it is gaining steam because it is run better than boxing is right now.

    Why do people make arguments when there is no argument even being made???

    There are a couple things I'd take from UFC. The condensed weight classes. Get rid of the multiple belt organizations. And have one governing body. Thats it. I would never want boxing to promote itself the same way MMA does.

    You wouldnt want boxing to have partnerships with ESPN and SI? You wouldnt want boxing to put on one mega PPV a month? You wouldnt want boxing to ditch the multiple titles and have one champ per weight class?

    :huh

    These are the things myself and Mccallister are stating...nothing more.

    Besides the co-promotion deals, I believe I stated everything you just said. :huh

    I dont need cutscenes during my boxing though. I dont need generic rock music. I dont need a dude who is 9-5 with tats all over his body and a mohawk being Mayweathers opponent on a saturday night, even free on spike tv.

    UFC also does a great job of never co-promoting and pretending that world class fighters don't exists outside of their shows.

    Back on topic. If FTA is still down I will pay for the Mayweather card (something I would not have done back in July when they had a nothing undercard) and download the UFC PPV.

    Listen, I dont want any of the crap that comes with an MMA event...I do want the promotional deals they have. The big PPVs (the other thing you didnt mention). The one organization. The fact that the best fight the best. etc...

    Remember, I said that the sport is run better (Im sorry, but it is), not that it is better or even produced better.

    Same for boxing you ignorant ****. :patsch

    And if you don't watch MMA..you really have no right to comment on something you aren't aware of, just like dumb****s who comment on fights they haven't seen.

    Look what the moose dragged in. :rofl


    I've seen alot of UFC. I know enough about it to know what its about.

    I bet you are like those tools that walk around bars with affliction shirts on thinking they are hard ready to rear naked choke the first fool that disrespects em right?

    Big fan of generic rock music and tats too I suspect? Closet homosexual?
