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

[rainmaker89]

i dont know if its dying anytime soon..quite the contrary really, just the other day on ESPN2 they actually had a half an hour show just based on MMA..thats a pretty big feat. While it may never catch boxing worldwide it certainly is big in North America and you cant deny it..but then again competition brings out the best in both and in the end the fans are the real winners..the real losers are the ones who bicker and have this so called "UFC vs BOXING WARS!!!"

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.

First and foremost, I am a boxing fan first. But, those figures that you just showed to compare Boxing to MMA, well, there's one thing that's glaring in those numbers, those PPVs you showed for boxing all revolve around two guys !!

But, if you look at the UFC numbers, although lower than boxing's, it shows that it has a "diversified portfolio" it's just not based on two fighters.

I mean, name other boxers that could come up with simlar UFC PPV numbers outside of the two boxing stars ?

UFC knows how to sell their product, and it does not revolve around two fighters.

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:

You're not an athlete and you don't box. I can sniff trolls like you from a mile away.



And boxing at some LA fitness doesn't count fatboy. Get your ****ing ass in a real gym and learn some respect.

UFC has too many ppv's. When that fad wears off they won't be able to sell them every other weekend lol.

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.

That's what you call self-ownage! You can't compare a superfight that happens once or twice a year in boxing to UFC ppv's that seem like it's every other month.

Jealous much? It's ok maybe if you start now you'll be able to catch up. Im 19 and have 53 amateur fights already.

Now go back to watching 2 out of shape grapplers lay on eachother for 15 mins, it's more your style.

[SkillspayBills]

I think both sports can strive. There is enough money to go around between them, I think the MMA vs. Boxing wars won't ever end though. So be it it just fires up the fans.

[DJackson00]

come on dying...every month they sell out arenas 17-18k across the world where boxing only dose well in U.S,U.K and Europe plus 300k-900k ppv monthly, not to mention the money it makes for clothing companys. I wish boxing was more like the UFC as far as one title per division so everybody would get their fair shot so guys like Devon Alexander would get a crack a Pac and Andre Berto take on Floyd but the UFc could learn a few thing from boxing on the PPV production level that HBO dose.
