    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.
    actually while I like boxing more than cage fighting, UFC IS MOST DEFINITELY NOT FLOPPING......


    LOOK AT THE NUMBERS AGAIN, U WILL SEE MANNY, AND MAYWEATHER DOING BIG NUMBERS...

    LOOK AT THE UFC CARD AGAIN..

    THEY HAVE EVENTS LIKE EVERY 3 MONTHS OR SOME ****......

    PLUS WHAT OTHER BOXERS CAN DO BIG NUMBERS LIKE THAT??? VERY FEW ACTUALLY.

    UFC ISNT DOING HUGE NUMBERS LIKE BOXING, BUT IMAGINE A PRIVATE CORPORATION, WITH THE NUMBERS THEY HAVE, WHILE BOXING HAS MANY PROMOTERS AND SIMPLY BETTER MARKETING.

    IF BOXING WOULD PUT THE BEST AGAINST THE BEST BOXING WOULD BE REALLY HUGE.

    THE PROMOTES ARE RUINING IT THOUGH.

    DONT LOOK AT NUMBERS LIKE YOU DO, CAGE FIGHTING ISNT ON HBO....

    THE WEIGHINS DONT HAVE HUGE CROWDS LIKE SHANE AND FLOYD HAD.


    THE SHOE AND PROVE CAGE FIGHTING ISNT FLOPPING YOU ARE COMPARING A COMPANY THAT I am older than and probably you as well, to a organization that has been around well over a hundred years....

    that should tell you the truth.

      Why would I step in the cage? Do I look like an animal? UFC is about as much of a sport as the WWE is.......

        FAIL
        I was gonna say the same thing. U can't really call that flopping, IMO. 4-500k ppv buys are good numbers to do consistently. Mayweather-Pac were barely doing those pre-DLH.

        I enjoy both sports tho. I don't understand why people have to be a fan of one or the other. They're 2 completely different sports!

            I been boxing for 7 years, I know how to throw a punch unlike your MMA glass jawed grapplers. Go follow the next trend and stay off boxing forums. This is a real sport with history. :****you:

              UFC is still a growing sport

              But it's clear boxing is far more popular among the global audience...

                There's always new generations of talented athletes competing and trying to be the best. If Pacquiao vs. Mayweather happens, it'll draw a lot of attention to the sport. Who wouldn't want the chance to earn that much in one night?

                  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
                  They said the same thing about Oscar and Trinidad.
                  And Holyfield and Tyson.
                  We'll get our superstars after Mayweather and Pacquiao retire. They'll arrive at some point but at what point after I don't know

                    In 50 years nobody will know the names of current ufc champs. How many people know who ali is? Billions.

                    There will never be a SRR, an ali, a tyson, a roberto duran in MMA.

                      Sometimes the ******ity of this forum blows my mind. The guy posts 11 UFC events in chronological order during a period with injuries and then posts 5 boxing events with just two fighters. On top of this the time frame isn't even the same. Pacquiao fought Hatton May of 2009 yet hes posting all UFCs after UFC 101 which was August 2009.
