Default Great article about MMA and Boxing

If no one has taken the time to read the artile printed by the Washington Times that was posted on MMA Weekly, here is the link. Its a pretty interesting breakdown of the two sports and where they may be headed.

interesting article, looks like boxing was going with the ostrich with its head in the sand method. if i can't see MMA and the UFC it is'nt there. i especially liked the little part about the squabble over gatorade in the corner of the Mosley fight. going to court over a sports drink? how stupid is that.

Im not sure but the way I took that when I read it was that the UFC doesnt release that info pertaining to what the fighters made and what the ppv's bring in. Yes, I've seen it also on MMA Weekly but I think that info comes from places like the Nevada athletic commision, which puts the fighter's purses on its website. It is a rule or something that they disclose that info. Im not 100% certain but I believe thats the way that was meant.
