But I have seen several MMA guys try to box in the pros and all were destroyed by low level guys.

You're stuck on that magic $10,000 number. Most MMA fights at the lower levels do earn that low number and less. Once a fighter has established himself those $10,000 days get replaced. Pride, UFC, and K-1 all pay better than that although UFC guys seem to get the short end of it. We lost BJ Penn for a good while because he was worth more to K-1 and Pride than he was to UFC ... that and he wasn't getting a shot at the tittle like he deserved.

MMA doesn't earn the same huge purses that boxing does ... but that is a good thing. Everyone knows boxing is a very corrupt game with guys like Don King running the show. Who knows who really would've won all the fights we've all seen that were obviously fixed. We don't have that so much in MMA ... although Sapp did get a few minutes to get his wind when he couldn't answer the bell to round 2 vs Ernesto in a K-1 match.

A true boxing fan can see who wins...all the top sports are corrupt, the same as all the other things in life.....But a Ko is a Ko.

Even if that stands true, which I doubt, that still doesn't mean athletics aren't important...

Btw, you left out Tyson.

How ya been SuperFlex?

Good match I'd like to see ... Tyson vs Minotauro Nogueira. Nogueira has a head made of brick that I think has a chance of offsetting whatever TYson has left for KO power. Tyson is brute strong and small enough to be a slippery bitch on the ground. We just need to tape back Nogueira's ears for safety.

Anyone else have one they'd like to see happen between boxers and MMA fighters?

Tyson was not an Olympic boxing champ...

And my point is that athletics are important..

I know it was. I just said that still doesn't mean athletics wouldn't play a factor...

Check this one out. I had to add the torrent ext to the end of the file name though.

You might need to register with that site too. Good stuff there though so it's worth going to.
