Hallo Freunde,

I also remember the show which aired on dsf a few weeks back then. The actual comentator was quite good imo, that should be the least problem.
But I also remember all the media talking bad about the sport. In germanies biggest newspaper BILD (if you like to call it a newspaper) they wrote how violent the sport is bla bla...

it will be pretty tough to get a decent tv-deal here cause the sport is not known to the general public. imagine, there isn't even a proper mma gym in munich, and munich is one of germany's greatest cities population wise...

plus...on top of all concerns boxing is still the number two sport right behind football or as you like to call it soccer...tv ratings go through the roof when vladimir, vitali, sturm and abraham box...

to sum it up...it's definately worth a shot bringing the ufc over here but I think it will be the first and last show in germany...
