It's long and I might not get many responses but take some times to read it atleast.
Other than the Mega-fights that feature Mayweather, Hatton, Pacquiao, DLH etc. Most PPVs are considered successes in Boxing with numbers of around 300,000 buys right.
UFC is steadily doing 450-500k buys regularly, and theres a reason for this. Look at their bloody cards. Their live gates are catching up as well. UFC 99's card looked like this.
Main Card:
Marcus Davis vs. Dan Hardy
Spencer Fisher vs. Caol Uno
Mike Swick vs. Ben Saunders
Mirko Filipović vs. Mostapha Al-turk
Cain Velasquez vs. Cheick Kongo
Rich Franklin vs. Wanderlei Silva
It had 6 preliminary bouts on the card as well. Thats 12 fights, 6 televised. I don't follow MMA other than Fedor fights but I recognise 2 fighters big name fighters on there and Hardy who I recognise but I don't think is a big name.
If boxing stacked their cards like this and HBO actually televised the majority of an undercard I have no doubt Boxing would easily beat UFC numbers without a HUGE name on a card.
