Demographics of the fighters is another huge reason for UFC's popularity compared to boxing in America. There just aren't a lot a White Americans contenders in boxing, the UFC has a lot more in the mix. HBO can try to promote Europeans but ratings and budgets continue to decline. Outside of America, boxing seems as strong as ever, especially in the UK where the opposite is happening.

Outside of Ronda Rousey, who's ever really been a white american pull for the UFC? Like a big pull.
Brock Lesnar I suppose is the biggest white male draw. Tank Abbot, Randy Couture, Chuck Liddell etc were never superstars or anything.
I honestly just think the UFC has a much better model + the promotion stinks all over boxing's.
UFCs biggest draws and stars have traditionally been foreigners ever since Royce Gracie basically.
