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

What a joke thread.

[Ninth302]

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.

don't do that... try 1.2 million. Mayweather/Mosley was the second highest ppv ever outside of heavyweight...

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!!!"

realest **** said in this thread

mma isn't a fad

the 2 can and will co-exist

[Forza]

exactly....ESPN is now covering the events live with pre fight and post fight shows.

Thats a pretty damn huge step.

[Forza]

Umm ESPN has the same show for womens basketball......

I guess its a big step for MMA

Miami? What gym are you affiliated with? Come up to Coconut Creek ..I have some contacts at American Top Team.


I think you fit in pretty well...especially with your MMA comments. Would be pretty funny to watch

[DE100]

Ive notice, but one thing MMA has done is get In with the Media. They have a very good working relationship with certain networks. So it gives the illusion thats its more popular. spikeTV we already knew about but Now ESPN has been working alot with UFC in terms of converge they get. TMZ is reporting on MMA news for no reason, out of no where, and why is that? Cause Dana white is smart and works out some kind of deal to do so.

edit* see someone already mentioned it.

boxing will never die, it may have its tough times because 1 or two fighters leave the sport but the prodigees pop up and we back at it
