    You are totally in the right here, but boxing would be better off if it was a dictatorship...Bob Arum does already own the rights to all his boxers, just look at how he trots out his slave boy manny or how he put his crack legal team to work when Donaire wanted to leave his stable...I'm not saying UFC is some flawless thing, but their business model is proving to be far more successful.

    Also, UFC doesn't actually have a stranglehold on the sport as there are many other promotional companies that still exist. They all just hope to be large enough one day that UFC buys them out.

      TBH I watch Around the horn and PTI almost everyday and Boxing gets more coverage on those two shows than mma does and on both shows none of the sports cover nor like mma. mma is very popular right now but to me it honestly reminds me off wwf in the 90's its going to peak and fade. its not sports fans that really follow gay humping either.

          ufc/mma has been popular for what like 4 years? We will see how it all plays out. the fighters are treated like ****** and are too afraid to speak out because if they do dana will cut them or do something. Tony Kornheiser said today on PTI when they talked about Couture he was called a hall of famer and Tony responded how does ufc have a hall of fame when it was invented last Thursday?

            The shows that do good are on Sunday night, I know nothing about primetime but I do know that people are taking it easy at home on Sunday nights because of work on Mondays. People go out and party on Saturday nights...

                  to say boxing gets more coverage than MMA on Around the Horn or PTI is kind of a moot point...neither of them get coverage on there really...if some cricket fans get into a fight or some racquetball player taunts his opponent after a victory they pay it the same amount of attention as they do to boxing or MMA...to put it into perspective, when Real Madrid accidentally dropped the trophy in front of the bus that was the most coverage soccer had gotten since the World Cup.

                    knew this was gonna happen, two friendly fighters with no drama. what time did they usually premiere? only time people watch tv on the weekends is when a known event is gonna take place (like the actual fight). does anyone have the numbers HBO's 24/7 series did? which ever, cause i assume it has to be better than these, even though it's on a premium cable channel

                      Face it, MMA delivers better on the blood lust for the casual fighting sports fan. People seem to think it's more brutal, which in some instances it is, and cling to it over boxing.

                      We aren't going to get the PPV buys that were once possible. I think boxing will maintain at its current level though.
                      .3 ratings means that there were 1.3M viewers... 18-49 is the demographic meaning that there were more who watched the show...Yeah but I agree its kinda low...But then again so where the other shows..Meaning there was really hardly viewers in total for that night...
