It's one of the most gruelling, disciplined and IMO entertaining sports on the planet. I'm a fan of both boxing and MMA and I hate seeing fans of either sport make ignorant comments like that. Edgar Perez this is without a doubt the best article i've read on this website and I hope you continue to write pieces of this quality. You've also hit the nail on the head with Dana White, he's a complete mouth piece. I can't stand the man, I don't like the way he holds himself at all. However I very much respect what he's done with the UFC and think he's doing a fantastic job. jstraightright if you think for one moment that MMA is street fighting or junk you need to take another look.

I'm sure both men love the free press they are getting. I'm just saying that as fans, we should just keep doing what we are doing, talking with our dollars, and buying only good fights. They have to earn our money not the other way around. That’s not to say that Dana White is innocent of stoking the fire as well. I’m sure both men love the free press they are getting.

Most of you understood what I was getting at. This animosity is something that is being stoked by Mayweather. Some writers are trying to blame the UFC for the conflict in scheduling but conveniently forget to remind us that up until the July 18 Mayweather-Marquez postponement, the UFC was the only promotion working towards the September 19th date. Here's an example: Mayweather placed his rescheduled fight on Sept. 19, knowing UFC already tentatively planned an event that same night, because a major bout involving a Mexican fighter commonly is conducted in conjunction with Mexican Independence Day. http://www.mlive.com/mayweather/index.ssf/2009/07/ufc_103_also_a_sept_19_foe_for.html Thanks guys.

Boxing real competition. Now we have Mayweather asking Uncle Marquez for a loan. Stop looking for easy money. Fight Mosley, Williams, Clottey... Being a good boxer does not equate to running around the ring. And no matter how many times he says it in an attempt to convince the rest of us, he is not the best fighter in the world.
