    UFC's biggest event this year sold over 1.6million ppv's. Boxing's so called biggest draw sold 1million.
    Mayweather vs Hatton worldwide sales added up to around - 2.4m ppv sales, maybe even 2.9m according to some figures.

    When boxing get's it right, no one can compete.

        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.

              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.

                  The reason it probaly did about 2.9mil was the fact it sold over 1.4million alone in the UK due to Hatton been huge over here.

                    Totally dis-agree with you. The one thing the UFC are good at is creating new stars of the sport and their company.

                      Please show me where you got those numbers from.

                      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.
