          LOOOOOOL
          Holy **** no. That fight did around 600k according to the UFC shill Meltzer. The rematch is not going over 1 million. Your heavyweight champion pulled around 300k buys against JDS even with all that FOX promotion. UFC is not breaking any records when they're in this decline.

            Usually boxing would be beating UFC, but because the heavyweight division sucks with champions who are certainly not household names... the UFC is close to boxing on the PPV level.

            If we had a Mike Tyson tearing up the division and bringing interest, the UFC couldn't carry boxings jockstrap. Instead we have the best fighter, Wladimir Klitschko, getting more headlines because of his relationships than anything he does in the ring.

                Boxing is way better to watch than MMA. MMA fights end too short.

                  UFC needs to have 20 PPV's to equal the PPV buys of Pacquiao, and Mayweather alone.

                    I'm not hating on your sport, big guy, but that PPV isn't going to sniff 2-3 million buys.

                      No, I just said the heavyweight division right now is not marketable. I don't know what you read, but I didn't say anything about Tyson holding records lol
