UFC 10years ago was diing since ZUFFA is running it now its bigger then ever.when you talking about fighter making milions im guessing they making alot of money and when you thing about ROY JONES JR getting invoved in MMA im guessing BOXING aint the sport to make money these days even DE LA is invoved wit AFFLICTION fighting and even The DONAL (donal trump) is invoved now!

weird you say That Boner! cause late show they had in UK was sold out over 22000 ppl was there in london watching the show LIVE
the problem wit the sport is that each country got diffrent fighting rules
like here they can ground punch each other and they stop the fights some times too fast.and its on PPV tv not on FREE TV!

Nah I never pay for ppv anymore, I always start at justin.tv and go from there until I find a decent stream, I doubt I'll stop up for it though way too late for my old bones.

Fucking hell, we pay about £15 which at the moment works out to $21.
