    2007 was owned by boxing in PPV numbers, and in general. I like MMA, but it is what it is.

      MMA has almost all of its fights on PPV. If Boxing did the same thing the numbers would look different. Luckily Boxing is big enough to put the fights on TV.

        Only white folk follow UFC. If Black and Hispanics were boh from higher socio-economic status boxing would be untouchable.

          Only one UFC champion is white so I'm not sure what you're trying to indicate.

          Lets see...


          Antonio Nogueira from Brazil


          Anderson Silva from Brazil


          Quinton Jackson


          BJ Penn from Hawaii

            Did I say anything about the Champions? Their fan base is mainly white like 99%. There are still more White fighters than Black and Hispanics. I was talking about the PPV numbers. It’s pretty obvious that whites are in a higher socio-economic status thein Blacks and Hispanics hence why UFC gets good PPV Numbers still not better than boxing.

                    UFC had more events, so they had more buys. However, boxing generated more money with less events:

                    The UFC events combined for 4,885,000 views totaling $194.5 million. Boxing did 4,795,000 PPV’s for $239.75 million.

                    HBO Boxing - 4,795,000 (total) among main events including:
                    Mayweather v. Hatton
                    Cotto v. Mosley
                    Pacquiao v. Barrera
                    Hopkins v. Wright
                    De La Hoya v. Mayweather
                    Cotto v. Judah

But as to the whole UFC had more numbers then boxing cant be true. UFC has more PPVS, I think. Isnt it like WWE they have them every month? DLH-Mayweather alone did well over 2 million. I know for a fact they never had any one show do close to that number.
                      Yep, nobody EVERY agrees on the numbers
