The UFC sucks...its fans are nothing but kids and rednecks. Basically the same type of people that watch pro wrestling. I mean the UFC is what it is I suppose, just entertainment to satisfy teen angst and redneck toughman contest crowd types who just want to see weak chins and haymakers. Anyone who thinks the UFC is taking over and "boxing is dying" are total fools. It's because the nature of UFC fans is to live in the present and they think their sport is where it's at. UFC has been around for only 18 years and it has already went broke, been bought and sold, been ridiculously overmarketed and plateaued as a business/industry. Within about 5-8 years it will be what pro wrestling is now, it is already not far from it.

Jon Jones is just starting out?? He is 15 fights in and has just defended his LHW title, first person to do so since Chuck, if he is has not yet blown up then when exactly will he? He has fought two big names in Shogun & Rampage, what do people think it will take to help him blow up?

UFC numbers are just down in general. 500k isn't bad at all.
Plus people already knew Rampage was passed it, so the outcome wasn't too surprising.

I hear ya but even if they were all 500k once a month witch there not!!! boxing would die for 6mil buys over a course of a year floyd boxings once every 18 months for 1.2 and manny once a year for 1.2 give or take after that, then what?

Considering that they don't spend much on payroll, that number is well above the break even point for the UFC.
The real failure recently was the Edgar-Maynard fight which did about 200-250k

So really Jones/Rampage is his first major event at the top of the card and he made 500k which is a focking lot..
Before then he was just a highly regarded prospect
Outside of Mayweather/Pac who can pull those numbers? I doubt Jones is getting 25m gurranted either lol
