titty · 01-01-2009, 08:39 PM

anderson silva wants to jump ship as well.

this would be highly embarrassing for MMA if arlovski beat fedor and then gets owned in boxing. imagine how terrible that would look

It wouldn't look terrible imo. Two completely different sports

Seems kind of greedy if he's jumping ship for the money, I know boxers get paid a lot more but $500k+ per fight and more from sponsors is nothing to snub your nose at.

Big Arm Big Pay · 01-01-2009, 11:55 PM

Even low level boxers get paid as much as the guys in the UFC...

It really did make me re-thing MMA and I wasnted to just box.

But I love this sport to much, I cant give it up.

duke202 · 01-02-2009, 12:13 AM

I hope he gets smashed.

TheIslander · 01-02-2009, 01:58 AM

Even more reason to cheer against AA.

There's no way he's beating Fedor anyway so I could care less what he does after the fight.

if you want to make millions a fight plus sponsors it is a very tempting choice..

NameNotGuy · 01-02-2009, 02:50 AM

98% of pro MMA fighters make peanuts compared to Arlovski, let alone compared to professional boxers.

Ares God Of War · 01-02-2009, 02:57 AM

With the pathetic state of heavyweight boxing and golden boys backing he will be a world champ inside 12 months.

KeyboardWarrior · 01-02-2009, 03:02 AM

I don't think he will go very far in boxing, not with that LHW chin of his. Best of luck to him though

Not many guys chins would stand up to being bombed by a heavyweight with 4 ounce gloves on. He will be good enough to catch alot of shots with the larger boxing gloves. How many guys in HW boxing could match his athleticism?

Thats a fair call but he will be fighting against much bigger punchers. His athletcism is probably his best (and maybe only) asset in a division full of unathletic fighters. Does he have the chin, power, footwork or technique to crack the top 10. I don't think so.

Coach McGuirk · 01-02-2009, 04:12 AM

why all the hate?? he is going to pursue a sport he enjoys. is it def that he never plans to compete in mma again?

Popcorn_fart · 01-02-2009, 04:14 AM

considering a washed up guy like Hollyfield whose fight was no where near as hyped or wouldve done no where near the ppv buys UFC92 did and he still made more than Forrest Evans and Mir put together hes thinking smart. He aint being greedy the owners of thei respective companies are being greedy. Dana makes millions just from the gate let alone sponsors and ppv buys yer Forrest was getting paid like 100k for his fight and his the UFC LHW champ or was thats just ridiculous.

NameNotGuy · 01-02-2009, 04:15 AM

I'm not too impressed, even if it is just sparring.

thefast · 01-02-2009, 07:21 AM

Would be ****ing AWESOME to see him in a boxing match and then forget and throw a kick to the guys head and knock him out LOL I would PAY to see that ahaha

titty · 01-02-2009, 08:16 AM

he beats the 7,2 dude it really shows boxing up because we all not that tim beat him twice and fedor beat tim in 36 seconds

Govithoy · 01-02-2009, 08:22 AM

Arlovski could do well in boxing, wouldn't mind seeing it for a couple of bouts but would prefer to see him continue in MMA.

He definitely has the tools, time, and trainer to do it though.

not even close. he will NEVER be a boxing champion. not a real one anyways. doubt hed even get 1 of the meaningless belts. Klitshkos murder him, Peter murders him, Rahman murders him. Valuev - 7'2 no skilled giant probably even murders him.

that's like saying he want's to prove MMA fighters are athletes...
I mean if he wants to prove that MMA guys can do it wouldn't he need to do it without going to a purely Boxing gym and coach?

No he isn't.
He has a 3 fight contract with affliction and he WILL be fulfilling his contract. He's never done otherwise and he still has another fight left after the Fedor fight.

Affliction doesn't prevent its fighters from competing outside of the organization.
