UFC 101 buyrate, JMM/PBF, and the PPV business itself

[F l i c k e r]

why would they inflate their numbers when things like PPV sells go down on records?

Dana White: "We sold 2.5 million"

Record says: "UFC sold 1 mill."

...Makes no sense.

I wonder if they inflate their numbers, I know nobody who cares about MMA.

Get out of the hole you're under then, because where I am, in a huge metropolitan area. MMA is huge.


I see kids walking around in their TapOut shirts, and lots of really young kids training at the MMA gyms.


As far as skewing the numbers, you could say the same thing for boxing, but the fact that the UFC is thriving is sort of proof enough that they are legit.


Great article Coltrane !


I love both sports, and feel like the competition is only going to make the movers and shakers in the boxing industry take notice (they already have obviously) and improve their product !

I suppose Google is fudging numbers too.

I hope this competition leads to the death of the ****ty boxing undercard.

I love 'em both equally !

I've been a boxing fan all my life, and started watching MMA in the early 90's, but didn't really get totally into it until the Pride days.


I go to UFC fights, as well as big boxing events. Went to UFC 71 Rampage-Liddell, as well as De La Hoya - Pacquiao and Pacquiao - Hatton.

Got tickets to see Pacquiao-Cotto as well !


I'm a fight fan in general !

boxing is on the decline, period
