Mayweather vs Cotto, Pacquiao vs Bradley top sport searches of the year

[tranquilo]

this is not true at all. I have tweeted Kevin Iole he is yahoo Boxing/MMA reporter and he says the numbers that are released by ufc regarding ppv buys/ticket sales to the public through sources are not even close to what they are actually doing. Tweet him if you want.

he's just a reporter?

I don't believe him, sorry.

I just don't see why it has to be Boxing vs UFC all the time. both fan bases have them.

Call me crazy but i got Sonnen winning this one.

i know i know



Ive always wanted to use that smiley.

He'll get caught in the spider's web

I know a buddy here who is a ticket broker and he was saying the demand for tickets for Mayweather/Cotto and Pac/Bradley were huge but Mayweather fight generated tons more interest.

he said also he has bought tickets for like 4 ufc events and only made money on 1 of the events and doesnt buy tics for those bc they dont sell that well

More insecurity...

UFC gate sells much better than boxing does.

You can believe whoever u want but he is the best reporter for accurate Boxing numbers and is an expret in both fields so that is your call.

Im not making it Boxing vs ufc i just have a big hunch that the numbers they are projecting are not near what they are actually doing, I think you would be interested in this story.

Antagonist - UFC does way better for almost all there standard ppv cards. Yet Boxings Marquee fights always do better.

Hougigo - for some reason i think Silvas gonna get old in this next fight.

Im just saying what my buddy was telling me granted he only buys/sells tickets for like 4-5 Boxing cards a year. I dont know what you are so defensive about.

I read it, again Shaefer shows that he's much more intelligent business wise when it comes to arguing with his foes. Dana White sure did look and sound stupid with some of his comments though. And Dana White claims he's a boxing fan but you know damn well he's jumping like a girl when a boxing card bombs

But it's true, UFC puts out free events (that people actually tune in for) and PPVs every month. How many people watch friday night fights?

No doubt about this right here, no denying that Pac and Mayweather bring in the masses.

Ortiz-Lopez drew about 8,000-9,000 people (not sure how many tickets were given out) at the staples center which seats around 20,000 for boxing/ufc events.

A UFC event is coming up at the Staples Center in a few months (or maybe in July? cant remember) and I guarantee you it will sell out.

It is what it is man

I'm not that MMA savvy, but I think Silva knows the deal and he'll beat Sonnen without as much trouble.
Also, wasn't Sonnen's testosterone level like 14-1 in the last fight?

UFC has done a way better job of putting the fighters out there and who they are more effectively than boxing. They also are smart about putting fights on in markets that normally dont get many events. Unlike Boxing where if you arent attached to Vegas or an indian casino somewhere you have no chance.
