(EDIT: I am working on this series, and it looks like it will be much longer than I originally anticipated.  I would appreciate anybody interested in reading the series and providing feedback as I write it to email me at wanderjimmy@yahoo.com.  Thanks!)

Per the conversation in this thread, I plan to write up a three part fanpost regarding the nature of MMA economics.  I get tired of making these arguments every few months, so I'm going to go ahead and write down my full analysis, discussion, and rebuttals.

The three parts will be as follows:

1) Part 1: Why fighters can make more from a single dominant organization

2) Part 2: Why the multiple organization model is unstable

3) Part 3: Why the boxing model will screw both the fighters and the fans

What I would like from you guys is a list of any questions, ideas, issues, or other topics you wish discussed that would fit in with or touch upon any of those three topics.  Economic issues, the rights of the fighters/fans/organizations, moral issues, anything you want.

Thanks everybody!
