I think I'm Sakuraba, Royce Gracie
Doing work? I'm hella lazy
One fight in a cage
Real niggas getting money, I'm so fucking paid
I think I'm Sakuraba, Royce Gracie
Doing work, hella lazy
One fight in a cage
Real niggas getting money, I'm so fucking paid
My dark skin triple black
my body swell,
Mumble when I speak, talkin like I'm Chuck Liddell
Lights out that's my nick name
Boxing dyin losin all my big fame
Kinda broke, but in my heyday,
I was world champ, now I need a payday
So I talked some shit to get you aggravated
Hired Soares so a nigga could be translated
Hold the cash up, where Bautista
Where Bobby Lashley, where my dogs at?
I got that contract
And it's so fat you might call it Big Country
Let me get this straight. You take a broke boxer who can't get fights in his own sport. You take this boxer who is 280 pounds and old who no one wants to fight in his own sport. You take this boxer and not only do you give him a fight in the UFC (a place where most fighters only DREAM of competing in), but you put him on PPV. Not only do you put him on PPV, but you put him in the co-main event. Not only is he in the co-main event, but his "fight" is promoted twenty times more than your own championship fight. Forget what happened in the cage, James Toney won.

obviously someone doesn’t understand the words winning and losing because if they didn’t they would never make such a ridiculous statement.

Actually I do. Toney got paid the highest guarantee in forever = a WIN
UFC paid big bucks for no real gain = Loss

You see where people’s loyalties lie with something like this. Absolute sham of a fight, but hey, as long as it sells PPVs, its a good thing, amirite?
BTW I’m not arguing the author said that. Just a general feeling reading people’s responses.

It was retarded for the sport and sold no extra PPVs
I’m happy for Toney thouh.

sold no extra PPVs?
you’re full of BS there.
A lot of boxing people were interested in this fight and bought the event.
No they weren't
Most boxing fans knew it was a farce. If boxing fans bout the PPV, the numbers would suggest it.
BJ Penn gets 500K PPVs everytime out there. And Randy was on this too. 570K with those two alone would be considered low. With James Toney’s alleged draw? That’s pretty low.
They didn’t sell out the building. Not even 75%

He wasn't a huge draw
but he did get some extra people to buy. for you to say he sold 0 extra PPVs is a blatant lie.
If you look on twitter you would’ve seen that some prominent boxing reporters bought the event and checked out the UFC for the first time
Maybe 10 writers extra said they bought it.
Who else bought the PPV? And how many people DIDN’T buy it because of the farce. I’d say they even out. Do you think he brought in what he was paid?
He got paid more than Lesnar and GSP combined. They brought in 1.6 million last year together. Plus he got a cut of the PPV.
I love that he got paid, but it was a waste.
