Phil Baroni out to prove he's still relevent at UFC 125

[Bouncer]

, but when 98% of your events are $50 pay per views it's easy to lose interest. I've definitely lost interest.

samn thing that happened to boxing. you would think they would have learned.

its massive profits at first but in the long run it kills you to go the pay per view route.

They still sell out every event and have massive success with ppv, but not all ppv's are worth buying. Thats why it was said when WEC was recently rolled into UFC. They were always free and being smaller fighters they were always exciting to watch. Now they will be lumped in with everyone else. Sure they are all fighters at the top of their game but that doesn't mean all the fights are exciting to watch. Hell GSP is one of the best pound for pound fighters in the world but his fights are boring s hell.

i know they sell out the events etc.. but so does boxing. its not a measure of the success of the sport as a whole.

Yeah, I agree.

Pay per view slowly kills off of mass of the audience at home.

No doubt about that. Hence, killing any possibility of becoming an accepted spectator sport like football, baseball, etc..

Boxing is fucked, situations like great fighter David Haye not being able to get a fight with Klitchko, fucking politics has killed boxing. Time was when fighters wanted to fight to best, not any more its just business
