The Weasel vs Bozo, whoever wins, we all lose.

 

[XThe GreatestX]

i will say Canelo vs Charlo is a hell of a fight

 

[checktheknuckles]

Dana is such a bitch. How does anyone take that woman beater seriously?

 

[MMAcolyte]

Three 20 million+ gates in 6 months when the UFC hasn't even had one in 30 years.

10-8 for the weasel over the pink goof.

Truly one of the more bizarre and pointless rivalries related to mma. And if I recall, Dana started it.

"The UFC contract is essentially the bonus."

"The UFC contract is essentially the bonus."

Those 10 and 10k are life changing money mate

 

[VinceArch]

Those 10 and 10k are life changing money mate

Apparently so.

 

[goOb]

"Listen on top of the 10k contract, we also allow them to keep the fight kits they wear during the fights on the Contender Series. Ya know we could be washing them and reusing them on other shows..."

 

[Thepaintbucket]

Did Dana White get permission from his new boss Vince McMahon

Isn't Canelo fighting the smaller, lesser brother of the two? Why wouldn't he fight the bigger, undefeated one? What the fuck.

North Korea says hold my beer.

Back in '95, the Pyongyang International Sports and Culture Festival for Peace took place at their May Day Stadium in Pyongyang, North Korea. This was a two-day event that was a co-promotion between Ted Turner and Antonio Inoki.

By all accounts well over 300,000 attended.

The participants were treated well and fed very well, although guarded almost all the time. This led to a famous story, where at a dinner there, while sitting among many dignitaries from several nations, the one true GOAT of combat sports, Muhammad Ali himself, kinda just blurted out, ”No wonder we hate these motherfuckers!”

Yeah but the gate was also 0.

Because Jermall didn't want the fight?

It is true, boxing is massive sport, way more money and criminals there.

Stephen Espinoza though... looks to be out of a job soon and Dana doing better and better. Pay is Combat sports is Boxing #1, then MMA, then KB then the lowest pay is MT.

there should be a third option:

3) I love both sports and athletes who participate in their respective craft.
