FraNk, congratulations on writing the award winning paper!

Get your Zombie TD here!

That is all Boxing needs is a scam. The sport was already suffering from fan base envy versus the MMA sports and now this. I may not like the MMA as much as I do boxing but the outcome is much more accurate

That just isn't true.

UFC141 sold far and away the most PPV's in MMA in the last year at just 800,000. Most don't crack half a mil.

The numbers for Paq-Bradley are all over the place but estimated in the range of 1mil for a fight with one draw on the card (nobody bought that fight to see Bradley). The Mayweather - Cotto fight did 1.5mil PPV's. Nearly double MMA's BEST night. And boxing PPV's on average cost quite a bit more than MMA.

MMA may have more casual fans simply because of the action but in hard core fans (and earning potential) it doesn't come close to Boxing. Trust me, it is MMA who is jealous of fan bases, not the other way around.

People setting up a conspiracy always have 1 thing to back them, people just wont believe there actually is one regardless of the evidence

Complete nonsense. The problem with conspiracy theories is that gullible people DO believe them even ABSENT evidence, or with "evidence" that isn't nearly as compelling as they want to make it out to be. People accept something they can't explain as being evidence of a conspiracy because of their own ignorance.

Were NBA officials conspiring for Boston to win when they fouled Lebron out on a questionable call in OT or were they conspiring for Miami to win when they let Wade completely rape Pierce, yet called it a clean steal? Bad calls...missed calls...happen in every sport and in virtually every game. Only the tinfoil hat brigade tries to turn them into a conspiracy.

ALSO, replays don't always tell the whole story. You are at the mercy of a camera angle. One angle may appear to show one thing while the same play from a different angle shows something else entirely.

+1...just like aliens. If there are too many ifs, it is probably is not true.

Bob Arum is trying to act like he had nothing to do with the fight being fixed. lol What a scum bag.

Boxing in one year may have 3-4 million in ppv buys while MMA will have 7-8 million buys not including all the free shows that average 1-4 million views. Once Manny and Floyd retire boxing will not even scratch the surface with ppv buys.

what I don't understand is: People tend to attribute the things they don't understand to a "god"....but now, they don't understand how to judge boxing but they don't seem to attribute it to some fictional deity....it would seem logical for these fools to blame god for Pac's loss....
