It'd be a dive to go through all of the information, but would be interesting to find out (particularly what the non-McGregor gates look like, compared to the non-Alvarez/Pacquiao gates, as UFC shares near no PPV information). If you have a link to your research, it'd be much appreciated.
The fact that the UFC has basically committed themselves to putting on a PPV every month (whether the actual matchup warrants the move or not) has more to do with the bottom line than anything, imo.
I agree. You use logic.
I bet the UFC is still out performing boxing in particular if you take out Canelo or Manny as you suggest to take Conor out of the UFC's numbers. The UFC has been beating boxing's ass in PPV for like 8 of the last 10 years. I researched it awhile back. And I'd bet the books look better with the UFC too with the expenses + profits & bottom line, although thats more debatable & ultimately unknown to us.

The UFC just had a PPV this past Saturday, and no one has said **** about it, lol.
2016 will likely end with 6 boxing PPVs: Pacquiao-Bradley III, Alvarez-Khan, Crawford-Postol, Alvarez-Smith, Kovalev-Ward, Pacquiao-Vargas, and maybe Golovkin-Jacobs.
2016 will see the UFC have 13 PPV events: Lawler-Condit, McGregor-Diaz, Jones-OSP, Werdum-Miocic, Rockhold-Bisping II, Tate-Nunes , Lawler-Woodley, Diaz-McGregor II, Miocic-Overeem, Bisping-Henderson II, Alvarez-McGregor, UFC 206, and UFC 207.
Pull the three McGregor fights, and what does UFC's 2016 look like compared to boxing?
Pull the 3 mccgregor fights, and ufc still outsells boxing..
Bisping-hendo will do 250-300k.. They always break 200k.. the lowest ufc PPv in recent years was a Mighty Mouse headlined card and it did 150k, roughly what Golovkin does on PPV .
Boxing is horribly unorganized. There is no way to get the fighters/managers, the promoters, the TV networks and sanctioning bodies all on the same page for very long.. Ufc has everything organized and deal with none of the politics boxing does..
Guys why you compere Boxing PPV with MMA PPV ,in MMA you pay for Brand(UFC) and stacked card from bottom to top,in Boxing you pay for 1 fight in most cases ,if Canelo-Khan make 450k just for 2 fighters its big PPV \,Imagine UFC card with one good fight.Another think is UFC is better in producing big names,we just lost our 2 biggest,Only Canelo is hausehold name now,but with Pac and Floyd Boxing was probably bigger then ever and bigger than MMA for sure,just wait for another 1 or 2 PPV salers like Canelo and USA boxing is back on the track,dont make drama over nothing.

Boxing have some work to do in America no doubt about that. It is a State Of Emergency for boxing in America. Ratings and PPVs numbers are complete SH1T and will only get worse until boxing unifies and everybody agree to work with each other or something drastic like that happens
No way can boxing survive with this current divide and people not working with each other
Even have the fans Divided and taking sides it is a NO WIN War for all that will ultimately sink the sport down further
But everywhere else, boxing is doing well. It has become huge again in the UK.
Pleasantly surprised about this. It seems Eddie Hearn is doing good work over there. I mean, I set aside time to watch Burns vs. Relikh, two fighters I've never even really heard about (I'm from Canada btw). That there was any buzz around this fight at all outside of the UK is impressive in and of itself.
Biggest card of year in MSG. All my friends watch Conor and dont give a f*ck about boxing.
It's over. MMA won.
lol. Michael Bisping just fought Dan Henderson, on PPV no less. How did that card do? lol
Conor McGregor is obviously a superstar (in the US, I'd argue that he's currently second to only Saul "Canelo" Alvarez); you pull Conor from the mix and the interest in anything else UFC immediately collapses.
The Manchester Arena seats over 21k people and Michael Bisping, a fighter who grew up literally 30 miles away from Manchester, only had the pull to put a rumored 16k people into the building. And this was Bisping's 9th fight in the UK under the UFC banner.
You add that there's really no young star even starting to come along, and it may actually be over (just not for the folks you want to think).

It's sad that MMA has got more fans to it us boxing fans can only say well our fighters get paid more but that doesn't make our sport better our sport isn't marketed and advertised anywhere near the level that UFC is done and we're waiting for years and sometimes 6 month spans of just waiting for one good fight in the UFC they generally put on good fights once and maybe more times in a month...
I like both but I got to be honest UFC is by far more entertaining right now apart from the obvious fact we have a handful of guys I'd rather watch over a UFC event but none would make me want to not watch UFC 205 that event is just fxcking HUGE!!!
I use to hate Dana back in the day but he knows his stuff
Congrats @gggboxing you make Boxing fun to watch again!!!! @hboboxing pic.twitter.com/3swOytEDZr— Dana White (@danawhite) September 10, 2016
We have GGG, Canelo, Roman Gonzalez, Anthony Joshua, Sergey Kovalev and a few others that are worth watching but those five are the main dudes right now since I view Pacquiao as a finished fighter.
