MMA is a much more accurate gage of which guy is the better fighter. I will concede that the promotion of the sport is showing some of the same traits boxing did. Big money just has that effect on the sports. When the object of a contest is to determine who is the best fighter MMA eliminates the what ifs~ |

MMA's success has got to put boxing's powers that be in a position to have to arrange Mayweather/Pacquiao, right? I mean, the sport's relevancy is waning on a near-daily basis. That's the kind of fight that can turn the sport around, no exaggeration.. if they're allowed to continually avoid each other, a matchup two years down the road could turn into a "tree falls in the forest" situation.

The reason why MMA is winning is because they show the fights that people want to see. UFC is very good at matching the two best from a weight class. Like typical boxing, when we finally see Mayweather-Pacquiao, it's going to be five years too late. By then, Mayweather will be even more defensive and boring because of added age and Pacquiao won't be at the peak of his craft. After the last Marquez fight, Pacquiao in 2012 is the not same Pac Man that everybody fell in love with three years ago. And Mayweather is in his mid-30s now. Even if Mayweather-Pacquiao decide to fight in November 2012, we as boxing fans have already been robbed of seeing both at their best. |

I'll not spend my money on a Mayweather fight unless its against Pacquiao. That said, I think he will win.

I would never lay a dime against Floyd, not even if he fought Manny.

Boxing is sooo boring compared to MMA. Hard to believe Mayfeather is getting 32 million bucks off this.
