It looks like the UFC drew pretty huge numbers against Pac and Marg (2 million) especially in the male 18-50 market, I wonder how this will effect the PPV buys.

ufc 122 rating
More popular maybe, the highest paid fighter in the UFC will get around 65-75K. Which is great, but compared to our top boxers.. chump change, and not even Dana White is fucking with WWE's Vince Mcmahon, Vince is a billionaire.
I would say MMA has more of a Tool following, if anything, i love MMA btw.
75k? Considering Lesnar was making 4-5 million per fight... Sure good math their.
UFC is bigger than boxing in America. Wayyy bigger.

Why do people continue to compare the two? There is absolutely no comparison.Boxing fans are boxing fans,and closet homosexuals are MMGAY fans.Can't we just leave it at that?
If a couple of guys want to sit around,pants down to their ankles,nuts in each other's faces,watching a couple of juice heads roll around in their undies then leave them to it them.
UFC 105 aired on the same night as Pacquiao-Cotto.
UFC 105 on ****e TV drew a 1.9 HH rating for an average 2.9 million viewers last Saturday night. The event also fared well in the M18-34 and M18-49 demographics with a 3.45 and 2.84, respectively.
The telecast's stellar M 18-34 rating and delivery (994,000 viewers) outperformed anything else on television, broadcast or cable on November 14, including heavy sports competition from college football. The telecast peaked at 3.7 million viewers during the main event, a light heavyweight bout between Couture, the UFC® Hall of Famer, and his opponent, Brandon "The Truth" Vera.

research conducted by HBO suggests there is a 10-15% overlap in audience. Basically it means the overwhelming majority who watch MMA do not watch boxing and vice versa. How many Filipinos and Mexi fans you think would have watched MMA in favoutr of Pac vs Marg? I'd say not many.
That's interesting, Do you have a citation for that figure? Also if this is true, Pac and Floyd are the exception. They are the only fighters known to the mainstream and have a lot of cross over popularity. A counter program like the UFC would effect PPV numbers.

Man you guys are sensitive, all I'm saying is that Pac - Marg was counter programed and it was aimed at their main demographic. Pac and Marg would have done much better numbers if it weren't for Dana
so you're trying to compare ratings between a ppv and a free telecast? :lol1:
