Sept. 19th, Boxing vs. Mixed Martial Arts
Weekend's Biggest Fight? Boxing vs. Mixed Martial Arts
"No matter what happens on Saturday night, boxing is in trouble. Period. End of story. They're in trouble," UFC's Dana White said Thursday. "[The UFC] continues to grow every year. We're up this year from where we were last year in this horrible economy."
Longtime boxing promoter Bob Arum sadly sounded like UFC's often juvenile boss White when he used homophobic phraseology to denounce MMA in an on-camera interview with FanHouse's Ariel Helwani during a recent Manny Pacquiao-Miguel Cotto press conference in Yankee Stadium. Arum told Helwani that UFC fans were "a bunch of skinhead white guys who are watching a bunch of people in the ring who look like skinhead white guys." The 78-year-old businessman then stooped deeper into the well of repulsive insults by impugning MMA fighters and gay people.

Manny people rather want to watch boxing than MMA. I am a fan of boxing and count me in as one of the million fans.
