Boxing's yearly PPV numbers are still bigger than the UFC's

Correct me if I'm wrong but aren't ufc ppvs in america just part of regularly scheduled espn programming in the uk???

If people really think the UFC is ran perfect they are wrong. The sport has no competition. It's going to have trouble growing and is already declining.

They give some of the best fight. Not all. That's a myth. On top of that to many of their fighters won't fight a bunch of other guys cause they have trained with them. How gay.

And at this point Boxing has far more exciting fights then MMA. All you ever hear about now is how boring MMA is becoming since guys are getting more talented and arent just going in there chins up. They are wrestling more. It's lame to watch (I never enjoyed bums koing each other either).

Boxing is the better spectator sport. It was huge in AMerica for a reason and is huge world wide for a reason. MMA is just the next fade of the decade sport like poker or x games ****.

I've always loved Boxing way more then MMA but the way Boxing is being ran is a ****ing disgrace and a joke. Its turned me off a lot. Its become pathetic. Imo the UFC is ran perfectly. Idc who makes more money, the fact that UFC is giving fans better quality fights and PPV cards is what matters to me. We can't even get the 2 best fighterss in the sport to agree to fight. We got a promoter (Arum) blantly ignoring other fighters cuz he doesn't promote them and can't keep all the money for himself. Its sad man. UFC is doing great right about now. Even if they aren't making the most money.

This is a great post. Top it off UFC is growing and growing in popularity worldwide. More networks also are willing to work with the UFC and that equals more satisfaction for the viewers.

Here it estimates Hatton-Mayweather at 1.2 million UK buys via SKy Sports PPV.

UFC is boring and wack. Not growing at all. Look at the TV ratings here in the US

I agree that UFC is ran better and the best can't avoid eachnother. As he numbers are concerned boxing might have 2-4 ppv a year. UFC has one every month. That makes it even more impressive.

People need to get off UFC's ****. Whats so great about a promotion that makes you pay 40 bucks to watch a pro wrestler fight?

It's a mirage that the "best" fight the "best".

That's like saying Top Rank features the best within their stable against the best in their stable.

UFC fans are generally very ******

LOL @ this

MMA has come a long way and it's not going anywhere. Trouble growing? UFC in Japan? Brazil? Hmm.

When Silva fights Sonnen again it will be the biggest fight in MMA history.

Boxing IS on a decline.

Edit. Of course boxing numbers will be greater than UFC. It's a global sport that has been around MUCH longer than MMA.
