UFC will NEVER hit a million buys...ever.

Who cares how much they do? Boxing>UFC without a doubt!!!

Maybe not yet because only one generation of people have really got into the sport. But Silva vs GSP would sell 700,000 easily and that would be impressive for a sport that has been mainstream for less than 10 years.

UFC 92 is a good card but 2 days after Christmas in these times, won't mean big numbers. Silva won't ever get a million buys because he doesn't speak english, even though he's great. UFC is doing a 24/7-like build up for the BJ Penn-GSP fight. I think that'll do around 400,000-600,000. So it seems Lesnar is the only big name left who is marketable that's not over the hill (Randy Couture, Chuck Lidell won't ever get a million). I don't think Lesnar will ever get a million unless Dana White brings Fedor into the UFC.

I thought ufc 91 pulled around 825k PPV buys..... MMA only has a few marketable fighters (GSP, BJ Penn, Anderson, Wanderlei, Rampage, Lesnar, Chuck etcetc).... and MMA is really unsteady .

anyways, boxing > MMA (This is coming from a FORMER avid mma fan)... mma has lost it's appeal to me.

How can you be sure of this?

MMA always seemed more like a fad like pro wrestling unlike an established sport like boxing. I'm not sure how well it's doing these days though because I hear conflicting reports from everywhere. Some say boxing is dead this year and MMA is in the lead, and then again I also hear that MMA fanhood is on the decline due to old fighters, drop in competition and failed leagues like Elite... whatever it was. I even hearfrom former fans like mishka80 who are downing the sport now. So I don't know what to make of it all.

Only thing I have to say is that it doesn't really appeal to me. Bunch of half naked men rolling around on the ground in action that resembles a schoolyard brawl just doesn't appease me.

UFC 92 is gonna be CRAZY, Rampage vs Silva, Nog vs Mir, Griffin vs Evans

and I doubt it does a million buys. I think this card may be an indication that White's UFC isn't pulling the numbers he expects and needs to amp up.

it's still MILES better at bringing better cards to PPV than boxing but their built in audience is starting to shake out a bit
