    MMA has 4 major markets US Canada Brazil and Japan thats it.

    MMA is certainly more popular in Canada and Brazil. The US and Japan are debatable. Everywhere else boxing is a trillion times more popular

      Top Rank probably brings in more revenue by itself than all the MMA in the world combined

        The difference is that UFC has a PPV every 2 weeks it seems. Boxing does major event 2 MAYBE 3 a year. In those 3 events alone for boxing, the amount of revenue and purses.......well......lets just say that UFC is like a pan handler compared to boxing. When guys like Floyd, Pac, and even the non mega and upcoming stars like Amir Khan, Andre Ward, JMM can make several million in just one night, where UFC fighters are lucky to crack 500k (and those are the big names in UFC), its no wonder that UFC extremist attack boxing and its popularity by justifying the amount of dollars made over the year. Boxing more times than not produces quality, where UFC produces quantity.

          I think boxing is bigger in Canada, bute and pascal will pack any stadium.

          Brazil? That country sucks at boxing. Only produced 1 champ.

            Lets just say all of them except a few....

              GSp is 10x more popular than Bute and Pascal combined. Its not only GSP though they're are a lot of hardcore MMA fans in Canada. But like I said that's the only 2 countries where its 100% more popular
