    I agree boxing is more popular and lucrative than MMA, but that's quickly swinging the other direction. It's not there yet, but MMA has momentum, and guys like Floyd with their accusations and inability to fight anyone worthwhile is killing the sport.

    Regardless of your thoughts on MMA, there are a lot of long time boxing fans who have grown frustrated with the sport, and if the Pac\Floyd fight doesn't come off, or there is a lengthy delay, the damage done to the sport could be irreparable.

    My interest in boxing has drifted away quite a bit over the last few years, but this fight has piqued my interest more than any 'Super' fight I can think of in the past 5-6 years at least. But if it doesn't come off, or it comes off in 2011 or 2012...well then it just loses most of it's luster.

    It would be the latest, and easily the most damaging example of boxing being it's own worst enemy.

    1. So the SUCCESS of European Fighters is a Testament to How DEAD Boxing is in America???...It Can't POSSIBLY B a Golden Age of European Boxing, Can It???...America is on the Precipice of Showcasing THE BIGGEST Fight in PPV History, FEATURING an AMERICAN Fighter, yet the Sport is DEAD in America???....

    2. "No Amatuer Program Anymore"???:notallthere:...The ONLY "Problem" w/the US Ammy Boxing System is that we FREQUENTLY Put 18,19 & 20 Year Old KIDS in the Ring w/Experienced GROWN ASS MEN...1 Things for CERTAIN, the U.S. Ammy BOXING Program is Doing Waaaaaaaaaaaay Better than ANY U.S. Ammy MMA Programs...



    Here's 2 VALID Points that DEFECATE Upon what Dana White Said...Get OFF of your Knees, STOP Gargling Dana White's TESTICLES & Either ADDRESS the Points or SHUTthefuckUP...U're a CERTIFIED Mixed Martial TROLList...

    I disagree with White's assessment of boxing. His assessment of the fight was fair, though.

    It's not very refreshing that Floyd's boyfriends care more about the fight than him.:shit:

    We get it, you don't like Dana White.


    The funniest part of it all is, the things that you don't like about Dana White...that he's argumentative and combative when asked about something that goes against what he believes, that he often time makes an ass out of himself whenever he gets behind a microphone, that he refuses to see anything good in the things he doesn't like and childishly mocks those who do....

    Guess what Reed...you share those same exact qualities. Everything you hate about White is the same thing everyone see's in you. You're just a poor man's Dana White.

    You're Dana Black.

    Well, suppose it is a "Golden Age" for European fighters. To what do you attribute it?

    I think it's due at least in part to the fall of the USSR, which has given way to more opportunities for Eastern European fighers, whether they stayed in their country or not.

    If this is the case, then one could argue that it was due to the political climate that the U.S. "ever" dominated Europe in boxing, in which case, as you suggested, it's more a case of Europe having improved in boxing than in the U.S. having gotten worse.

    Still, it's a fair question - why can't U.S. boxers, in general, dominate European ones the way they used to?

    So What U're Saying is, U're INCAPABLE of ADDRESSING the Points that REED Made...ALL U Can Do is PARROT Dana White's Thoughts & BLINDLY Co-Sign on them like the Good Little UFC KISSASS/YES MAN/SHILL that Everybody ALREADY KNEW U Were....

    When royjonesp4pno1 LAUGHS @ the Sheer PREDICTABILITY of YOUR Response, that's SHAMEFUL...But Hey, @ Least U're CONSISTENT...

    As opposed to no one making anything and the fight not happening from whomever's running boxing now. Oh, and I will fight both of them on the same day, at the same time for 1 million dollars. How anyone from a sport that boasts Oscar, King, Arum as it's finest could make fun of Dana is beyond me, hell MMA could have prisoner #384819341 and do a better job. I don't care for Dana much myself but he sure the hell does a better job than any of the names in boxing.

    It's easy for Dana to make many of the fights people want to see. He has most of the top product in MMA and if he doesn't he can create/hype some up.

    Send Dana to a different MMA organization see what he can do....

    I'm not a big fan of MMA but I do believe that the mayweather-pacquiao fight has to go off without a hitch for the prolonged success of boxing in America. It is definitely on the downswing and needs a burst of new energy soon. Someone in the next generation of boxers has to catch people's attention and make it en vogue in america again. If it's a heavyweight then all the better.

    Of course, when megafights come off, people come out of the woodwork to see the fights. Stars of all caliber. That's not something you see with MMA...yet.

    Dana is a hater, Boxing is alive and well

    true the Euros have caught up to us but it is still going strong

    he said there is NO amature programs, that is just bull

    obviously he has not been to a tourney in the AMs if he has not seen talent there

    How you figure that? Don't just say it prove it. What the hell has Dana done that trumps all the things that any of the names in boxing have done? You said it, now please enlighten us all as to exactly WTF you're talking about.

    And by the way we better not be deleting posts on this forum otherwise a meeting will have to happen and somebody will have to get fired or bought out or something. This ain't boxingfanatics we don't do that shit over here.

    If fight such as; Ortiz-Lidell 3, Couture-Coleman and UFC's version of Mayweather-Matthew Hatton aka GSP-Hardy are the best fights in the UFC then the UFC is in big trouble.

    I must be missing them freebies. UFC has more PPV's a year than does boxing.

    Hardy is way better than M Hatton in his sport and has accomplished way more.
