Exactly. Also that UFC 100 that sold 1.2 million had About 5 huge names fighitng. It would be like having may vs JMM, pacquiao vs cott, and williams vs pavlik on the same card. I wonder how much a card like that would do.Comment

Alright geniuses. Now, before you guys say anything, just know that I am as big of a boxing fan as any of you here, but just happen to also love MMA.
UFC 103 - 450,000 (Franklin vs. Belfort) Dallas
UFC 102 - 435,000 (Nogueira vs. Couture) Portland
UFC 101 – 900,000 (Penn vs. Florian) Philadelphia
UFC 100 - 1,720,000 (Lesnar vs. Mir II) Vegas
UFC 99 - 360,000 (Franklin vs. W. Silva) Cologne, Germany
UFC 98 - 635,000 (Evans vs. Machida) Vegas
UFC 97 - 625,000 (A. Silva vs. Leites) Montreal, Quebec
UFC 96 - 350,000 (Jackson vs. Jardine) Columbus
UFC 95 - free TV (Sanchez vs. Stevenson) London
UFC 94 - 800,000 (St. Pierre vs. Penn) Vegas
UFC 93 - 320,000 (Henderson vs. Franklin) Dublin, Ireland
6,595,000 total PPV buys in 2009
There are still 2 more PPV events for the UFC in 2009, with the UFC's own version of a cash cow in Brock Lesnar set to fight in December.
The bottom line is...
The UFC doesn't need to compete with boxing. They are doing fine, and so is boxing. Just so that you all know, the above figure is another record breaking number by the UFC for most PPV's sold in a year in history. They broke their own record.
Boxing promoters have taken note of this, and what you see above is the reason why promoters are no longer able to feed you bull**** undercard fights with one good main event fight. You should be thankful, I know I am.
2009 was a good year for boxing, and we're finally getting our money's worth.Comment

It looks to me that UFc is about a 300,000 to 400,000 buy business. They did good in 100 due to the WWE fans following Lesnar over and retained a portion of those fans for 101 but have now come back to reality.Last edited by DC Fight Fan; 09-25-2009, 01:56 PM.Comment
