UFC Sucks

This flash in the pan company is so desperate to cement boxing. They don't realize that many people don't watch boxing anyways.PPV BUYS It's biggest problem is that it is alienating it's true fans. UFC has become mainstream and has watered down its product to get national media attention. I understand they have to make money, but if you actually spend money on one of their more than monthy PPVs how are you not disappointed. If you go back and watch the early days of UFC it took alot to end fights. Now there are many stoppages and several fights that end without a clear cut winner. Dana White, President of UFC, promotes his product as the most vicoius sport in the world. It's commonplace for him to call professional athletes in other sports and question their toughness saying they can't hack it inside the UFC Octagon.


In the recent head to head PPV battle, UFC was outdrawn 2-1 by boxing. In UFC 103 vs. Mayweather-Marquez it was boxing earning the knockout. UFC may not have produced their best card but they did have a Televison lead in, something the Mayweather fight was not privy to. The bottom line is that a big boxing match will always beat a big UFC fight. Part of the reason for this is that a boxing match might actually last a few rounds. Another reason is that boxing promotes its events with the Main event everytime, while UFC will typically true to promote a couple of fights to avoid the potential letdown.
