ufc big ppv of the fall did 1.05 mil buys will pac vs marg beat it. If boxing can have the two biggest ppvs of the year that would be huge for the sport of boxing. I am thinking 1.3 mil buys
it's hard for me to believe that the ufc did that many numbers but if it is true i can't see manny-margo passin that number
Ugh why not UFC 100 did similar numbers and they break 500,000 on a consistent basis it's not 2002 anymore.
I heard Brock vs. Cain was staged so that Cain would win and then challenge Kane at Wrestlemania not only to be the first latino to hold both the UFC and WWE championship belts, but also to determine who the best Cain/Kane is in the fight game.
Rumor has it brock will run to the ring with a steel chair and many think he will go after Cain, but in the end hit Kane with the chair, but then get hit by Paul Bearer with an urn and then buried alive by the under taker, thus setting up that feud.
yeah like Dana white is gonna allow his biggest PPV draw to risk injury. Yup makes a whole lot of sense especially when Dana White already said that Brock would be returning to the UFC sooner than later.
Besides Cotto-Foreman, who else did that well?
The entire November schedule would be on PPV had it been in the UFC and pretty much every card they had this year outside Shobox and some BAD's would be PPV.
What are the best non PPV (ouside the WEC, and those fighters are moving to PPV) fight that the UFC has put on this year? Condit vs Hardy or Marquand vs Okami...not exactly big fights. The UFC hasn't had a big fight on TV since Rampage-Henderson in 2007, that is the sort of fight that would compare with Williams-Martinez II in terms of caliber.
UFC has close to 15 PPVs this year and they have a very loyal audience willing to pay for even the crappy ones...that's great for their buisness but unlike boxing they show almost nothing of note off PPV. HBO/Showtime blow them out of the water when it comes to non-PPV matchups.
For the dude who said Lesnar-Cain was action packed, well yeah....because one guy couldn't take any sort of punches, ran away like a sissy and turtled up until the ref saved him.
Had this happened in boxing we would hear an overflow of outrage, but hey its the UFC so lets hype up a turd!

i didnt say the sky was falling but if ufc big ppv beats boxings big ppv then it shows which sport has the better following. especially if this is maybe the 4th best opponent for pacquiao.
idk about mmgay..... its a bad ass sport and i bet these people that talk so much **** about mma would get their asses beat in a minute...
plus ufc has a ppv almost every month and boxing has like 5 huge ppv tops and honestly there not what people make them to be this year ppv sucked cain velasquez vs brock lesnar had more action than the whole pac vs clottey 12 rounds i love boxing but they are sinking :(
if it does below 1 mil then the sport is in trouble
OMG, they sky is falling!
1 million buys is rare for everyone including the UFC and most boxing mega-fights, only Tyson averaged more then 1 million buys per PPV.
well there was some good college football games last saturday, also only lesnar was the big name on the card. if arum can pay pacquiao 25 mil he can pay espn 2 mil to promote the crap out of this fight
hmm nice numbers..but i think Pac vs Marg can easily beat it. I never understood why people keep claiming that UFC fudge their numbers, sure there a private company...but they have tons of corporate investors like Budlight and Harley Davidson, who would definitely sue for deceit if they fudged their ppv buys.
It's because numbers are never officially released and because only one pro-wrestling writer who indirectly works for the UFC reports them, and he gest the numbers from the UFC.
I think UFC 121 did around one million, Brock was their big superstar. These numbers do fluctuate a lot, the Toney PPV was rumored to have done near 1 million but only one week later it was down to less then 600k. So who knows really.
I think it possibly can do around 1.1 million max(And I'm being extremely generous here), but they need to step up promoting pronto. There was promoting everywhere for Mayweather-Mosley.
Pacquiao fights in like 3 weeks and we haven't heard really a peep from the mainstream. I'm thinking the fight does about 900k.
