Fighting for our freedom? In Iraq? Brainwashed imbecile. Poor soldiers are dying for W's stupidity and arrogance. Perhaps Bush should tell Haliburton to donate the $65 million. Surely, they've got enough since it has been DOCUMENTED that they've severely overcharged and since they have been awarded numerous no-bid contracts. But no, it needs to be a Yankees pitcher, blah blah blah. Perhaps the UFC should donate the entire $65 million instead. @ Pat

Seriously? Fighting for our freedom? In Iraq? Brainwashed imbecile.

Poor soldiers are dying for W’s stupidity and arrogance. Perhaps Bush should tell Haliburton to donate the $65 million. Surely, they’ve got enough since it has been DOCUMENTED that they’ve severely overcharged and since they have been awarded numerous no-bid contracts.

But no, it needs to be a Yankees pitcher, blah blah blah. Perhaps the UFC should donate the entire $65 million instead.

I honestly thought they would raise at least $20 million though. Given the fact that they had all that firepower of the A-list celebrities in Jack Black, Samuel L. Jackson, amongst the other 10 or 12, I would have thought those individuals would have given $1 mil each. They are SUPER RICH, ya know? I look at it like this...America has so many filthy rich people; between movie stars, football players, basketball players, and baseball players, something like this should move these guys and gals to support the cause! It's sad to see the pitcher from NY Yankees walk home with a $100 MILLION + contract and we can't raise a measly $65 million to help our soldiers out. I'm believing that they will raise all of the money neccesary, but it should be one of those things where in like a week you have all of the money. These soldiers are fighting for all of us, so we can surf the net, blog comment on fiveouncesofpain.com , and walk around the streets without worrying about a crazy bomber. Again, congrats on the $4 mil...but America can do so much better. That’s awesome the UFC raised $4 mil for the troops! I honestly thought they would raise at least $20 million though.

Considering how often they replay (Just saying, not complaining) events they may still be able to gather a few more bucks.

Thanks for posting this. Congrats to the UFC and Spike on such a monumental fund raiser for this over deserving cause. I was very anxious to see how much money was raised. Thanks for posting this.
