Will and the slimey new generation of gaming operators, have either forgotten or don't want to remember why racing is due their tithe... Racing did the heavy lifting, for 150 phucking years, for these gaming putzes. They're johnny-come-latelies to gambling in America.

Should boxing get a share of the UFC/MMA action as well?

It isn't the same. if UFC decided to have a few boxing matches they would be entirely within their rights to. If racetracks wanted to put in slots they arent allowed to. Apples and Oranges. Plus UFC is already fading...

Aren't casinos and racetracks apples and oranges as well? Could a casino put on horseraces if it wanted to?

I don't think the UFC could just decide to put on a boxing event, it isn't that easy. And why would they want to? Boxing is a dead sport, just as horseracing seems to be.

They are both in the gambling business. Simple really. If a casino applied for dates i'm sure they could hold horseraces.
Boxing isnt anymore dead than horseracing. And the UFC could just decide to hold boxing matches if they wanted to. Just have to get a license through the state commission. We could hold matches if we wanted to. And MMA seems to be a fad btw.
