Man I can't stand UFC, boxing junkie to the core....but that is some serious bull shit to do to anybody right there.

Do they not have a back up fighter like boxing I guess? That's dumb as shit..

Povetkin fails test but still gets a last minute Duhaupas.
Boxing truly is different.

When you think they are able to sell out o2 arena with mostly minnows and then broadcast it across the world. How would they be able to justify leaving fighters out on their own like that. It seems incredibly unprofessional for a promotion that demands the utmost peofessionalism from its 'employees'***

Fair enough if its some fat untrained laird in a backarse promotion in a pubs function centre. But you would imagine drink and t shirt sales alone would cover a good portion of these shitty purses.

Can anyone find/make a PPV comparison for 2017?

I don't mind UFC being more popular, the fan base is rather annoying and I don't want them seeping into the boxing scene.

They used to pay fighters when they weren't at fault for a fight falling through. Hell, on occasion they paid the fighter who did cause it to fall through, depending on the circumstances. They gradually shifted away from that in the latter years of Zuffa, and now if your fight is cancelled you don't get paid.

Yeah but if they do it will be due to interest, the mongs I know that love mma like it cos it's just violence. My fb was crawling with complaints about AJ vs Parker as no one was left unconscious.

Essentially why casual MMA fans don't like Demetrius Johnson; he's perceived as being boring - even if his fights aren't - and "a midget." Conversely, GSP was a PPV star, despite the lack of violent finishes, as he's charismatic.
