Comments on: Big John McCarthy Making Sense of July 29th UFC-Affliction Mess http://www.cagetoday.com/big-john-mccarthy-making-sense-of-july-29th-ufc-affliction-mess/ Sun, 08 Nov 2009 01:50:19 -0700 http://wordpress.org/?v=abc hourly 1 By: holman http://www.cagetoday.com/big-john-mccarthy-making-sense-of-july-29th-ufc-affliction-mess/comment-page-1/#comment-16389 holman Mon, 14 Jul 2008 20:53:43 +0000 http://www.cagetoday.com/?p=2622#comment-16389 I think Big John is not againts anybody here. He is speaking in his own point of view and he makes a lot of sense. I think saying this only proved his loyalty to the sport. Obviously Dana wants to hurt Affliction. Spider is a PPV main event class fighter and to give it away for free is fishy. For me, let the sport grow. More promotion is good for the sport and the fans I think Big John is not againts anybody here. He is speaking in his own point of view and he makes a lot of sense.

There are the minor leagues (farm organizations) used to scout and develope new talent and there are the major leagues....both the National and American Leagues. Does anyone complain that there are 5 games on at the same given time???? No, it gives us choices and allows us to follow who we identify or root for! As I have stated before, Dana has pissed in his cheerios by attempting to be a dictator rather than a president! Love to see that any other card (good or bad as it may be) is a cause to get his feathers ruffled! Agreee totally with Big John......PPV will be bought for Affliction and Tivo will be set for UFC on Spike! Think of it in a sporting sense….baseball for example.

As long as the best talent doesn't get spread out. But I think 3 or 4 good promotions worldwide would be great for the sport. In business, competition makes you evolve faster. The UFC will get even better with a little competition. I’m all for the competition as long as it doesn’t get out of hand. As long as the best talent doesn’t get spread out.

They both co-exist, right? McDonald’s does whatever it can to take business away from Burger King and vice versa, right? So, what’s the problem??? Everyone still eats, right?
