In many ways I think PPV is what killed boxing's popularity. Unlike boxing, MMA usually has enough good undercard fights that take up broadcast time. So they are actually able to put on a good show. Where boxing can essentially be over in no time. Which kills advertising.

I watched Saturday Night just to see Gina Carano... and kept watching til the end.
If they can put some named guys/girls on and allow the general public to get to know them... it would increase its popularity even more.

MojoDan said:Sam,
Honestly, I think UFC does a great job at giving fans what they want to see for free. I dont think they need to add much more. Several fighters without UFC contracts can make for great television, and Seth is a prefect example. I agree with you about the Shamrocks, that would be the kinda fight you gather your buddies to watch. And I am never, ever, unhappy watching Arlovski or Tito........
MojoDan said:Well pretty much all of my favorites are having huge fights in the near future...so I am thrilled
