LOL! UFC Flopping. Dying sport is getting annihilated by Boxing resurgence!

[etlux]

Anyone of ya'll wonder why Dana White hasn't been talking all that trash lately that he was talking last year? It's because UFC has been exposed.

UFC had one huge show last year that got 1.6 million buys because Brock Lesnar was fighting. Most people don't realize this is because Brock Lesnar brings over all his WWE fans and WWE is the top PPV seller in the world.

Here's what UFC's pathetic PPV buys have looked like over the course of the past year after the big Lesnar PPV event.


UFC 112: 500k buys
UFC 111: 770k
UFC 110: 215k
UFC 109: 275k
UFC 108: 300K
UFC 107: 620K
UFC 106: 375K
UFC 105: not announced, probably did about 300-400k max.
UFC 104: 500K
UFC 103: 375K
UFC 102: 435K


These are looking like Jones/Hopkins numbers

What a joke. Boxing is dominating UFC and making them its *****. Dana White is a fraud and his 2nd class sport has been exposed as a 2nd hands good store compared to the true elite sport of Boxing.

Here's some of boxing's numbers over the past year:

Pacquiao/Cotto: 1.4+ million
Pacquiao/Clottey: 700k
Pacquiao/Hatton: 900k - 1million

Mayweather/Mosley: 1.4 million
Mayweather/Marquez: 1 million


OWNED.

lol,kinda harsh, ehhh???but it is pretty true. i like mma tho, but for different reasons than i like boxing. thats why i dnt compare the two. but boxing will always be known as the more dignified sport worldwide.

If you like UFC or MMA, that's fine, it's a free country. What gets me heated is when so called MMA fans start trashing boxing, saying it's slowly dying. Boxing will NEVER die, it's history is too rich and it's a sport which requires much more skill. Mayweather put it best. You can take a guy off the street and train him to win in an MMA fight. (i.e. Kimbo Slice). You can't do that in boxing. Another thing, no one will be talking about UFC fighters 50 years from now.

I ain't really a fan of MMA at all mate i watched when Lesnar fought caused i liked him in WWE

But erm what happens when Floyd/Many retire which looks like in 1 or 2 fights...

Who is gonna step up and who in boxing has done great numbers apart from them

I agree with this 100%.
A lesnar/fedor fight would be awesome though.

I'm a fan of both sports but when my MMA friends started talking the same **** Dana White was talking I slowly had to check them. UFC 100 did big numbers because it had 2 of it's 3 biggest names on the card. GSP and Brock..I believe it even had Dan Henderson in that card too...

But Dana really fell back when he went head-to-head with boxing twice and lost in the PPV Battle. Since then he really hasn't had much to say negative about the sport. Hell, he even went on record and said he ordered the Mayweather-JMM fight during his own UFC 103 Card so that alone tells you that Dana White knows that boxing isn't "dying"


The Boxing is Dying myth is almost as bad as Hip Hop is Dead, IMO. Both are being said by bitter folks who really are fans but hide the fact that neither is close to being dead.

People said the same thing when Leonard was the draw
People said the same thing when Tyson was the draw
People said the same thing when Jones was the draw
People said the same thing when Oscar was the draw

2 years ago who would have predicted that Pacquiao would be the draw?
Once these guys are gone, someone else in Boxing will take there place.

The rumored numbers for UFC 100 were much lower.

Bob Arum said that it topped off at around 900k lower millions.

Now granted maybe he's lying you gotta remember that these figures are coming from themselves and not the cable company. UFC wouldn't lie to make their numbers seem higher than they are would they?

Anyway got nothing against it. I just ****ing hate that piece of **** Dana White.

[BROOKLYN CESAR]

This was always going to happen when dana started comparing the two sports!!!

He should have kept his big mouth shut!!!

I'm not shocked. Boxing's been around longer, MMA is still trying to really establish itself, and boxing has a bigger fan worldwide. So why wouldn't the PPV to the big fights get better ratings? What gets me scratching my head is how people really put down MMA and their athetes. You can take a street fighter and make them a successful MMA fighter but can't make them a successful boxer? PLEASE. Kimbo is FAR from successful, yes, very popular...but he's done nothing to be more successful than the local guys. Honestly, when i look around, i see more boxing die hards hating on MMA than MMA die hards hating on boxing...more likely the ones who are all "UFC is the ****, boxing is dead!!" is Dana White and all the dumbass fans who really don't know what the hell Mixed Martial Arts and Boxing are...just going with the flow. If the two sports were reversed, I'm sure they'd be saying the same thing, except boxing would be the **** and MMA dead. honestly, seems to me like all the hate spans from people's insecurities, they feel threatened by the sport for some reason...but really, both sports help each other more than they hurt..
