Boxing Promoters Big Up The Sport Following Mayweather-Marquez
It is my pleasure, on behalf of the Boxing Promoter’s Association (BPA), to congratulate our sport in once again showing that BOXING is truly desired by fans. In as much the recent Mayweather-Marquez boxing event on HBO/PPV produced over a million buys and generated over $52 million dollars, it is clear that those that underestimate the appeal of BOXING are mistaken.
What is particularly interesting is that the BOXING match went head to head with UFC 103, which was also a PPV event. Many sports reporters incorrectly predicted that the UFC/MMA event would exceed the sales of the BOXING event. While the exact amount of buys for UFC 103 hasn’t been made available by UFC President Dana White, all estimates are under 500K buys, less than one-half as the Mayweather-Marquez BOXING broadcast.

“I’ll Maye Tyson Eat His Words,” Says Fridge…!!!
Carl Baker has vowed to make Mike Tyson eat his words after ‘Iron Mike’ ridiculed him live on television.
Tyson performed the draw for next Friday’s Prizefighter Heavyweights III and dismissed Baker as having no chance after he was paired with Danny Williams.
Baker, 27, believes Tyson’s words will motivate him towards the biggest victory in his career over Williams, the current British Champion.
“When I heard Tyson say that my first reaction was he doesn’t know me so how could he say that?” said Baker, who has won eight of 11 professional contests.
“Tyson has never seen me box but, after all, Danny beat him, so what else could Tyson say? I might offer Tyson out after I’ve beat Danny! Read more »
