UFC vs Mayweather-Pacquiao

[kej718]

UFC could put up Silva vs GSP and Jones vs Valasquez on the same card and it would not even do half the buys the Floyd vs. Pac would do.

[Sheppirino]

If Floyd were to announce he was going to fight Pac on the night of a UFC PPV Dana White would postpone his PPV and watch the boxing PPV himself.

[Da Machine]

A lot of GSP's buys are from Canada. HBO just gets buys from the US. UFC from anywhere they have PPV in the world.

Pretty sure Wrestlemania 30 will sell more than any ufc event in 2014.

Pretty sure Wrestlemania 30 will sell more than any ufc event in 2014.

hell the past the 3 Wrestlemanias is gonna end up doing more because God decided to return to host and main event a couple Manias..

[SkillspayBills]

Dana White would literally move the event. **** he wouldn't put on a UFC PPV for ANY Pac or Floyd fight.

vs Gustoffeson (sp?) rematch

close enough

[LoadedWraps]

Next week is arguably the biggest rematch ever in UFC history between Anderson Silva and Chris Weidman.

If Floyd Mayweather announced tomorrow he is fighting Manny Pacquiao the same night what wins in PPV? (If someone knows of a bigger fight that could go in there in place of Floyd-Manny they can suggest it foolishly)
(No sure how to make a poll)

How many sales does it get?

A red is coming your way as soon as it's possible, for asking such a ****** question it isn't even funny in a trolling sense. The very fact you dare provoke the visual of anything MMA to boxing fans on NSB should be a bannable offense.









































WAR Boxing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

UFC champ Velasquez just did less than 350k in what was his biggest fight ever. Sylvia MIGHT do 750 but it's unlikely. Mayweather, on a bad night, eviscerates most UFC events.

Well the UFC is a dying sport which is clearly shown in their TV ratings and PPV buys which have plummeted drastically. Their heavyweight champ for example isn't able to pull more PPV buys than a welterweight like Tim Bradley. Once GSP is out of the picture the UFC's yearly PPV buys are expected to fall drastically yet again. Their ratings on the main FOX network have also collapsed drastically going nowhere but down.

The other fight Silva vs Sonnen 2 was previously expected to break PPV records, instead it did 900k international buys. The UFC have not broken 1 million buys in a long time now. They may in fact be lucky to break even 1 million with this fight. Sonnen was a huge draw in their fight, he made it what it was. This guy Weidman has no personality. He's just another faceless fighter.

May vs Oscar did 2.6 million domestic buys. Canelo vs Pac did 2.3 million domestic buys.

Lesnar vs Mir with GSP on the undercard did 1.6 million international buys. Now given that do you really see Silva vs Weidman even getting close to 2 million.

Here's a fact for you, if May vs Canelo can hit 2.2 million buys then May vs Pac will still **** the holy hell out of any PPV in history. Canelo was nowhere near the popularity level of Pac. It had nowhere near the level of hype Pac vs May does.

Let me put it to you this way: if the UFC put their biggest draws: Jon Jones (400k buy average), Silva (500k buy average) and JDS (400k buy average) on the same card they still wouldn't beat May vs Canelo's numbers, let alone Pac vs May. FFS the UFC put their two biggest heavyweights on FOX yet they got TV ratings in the same range as a typical episode of COPS.

Hi Dan, quick question. In boxing the ppv buys announced, do they include buys from Canada?

Dan Rafael (10:33 AM)

Yes, the PPV numbers you see include Canada and Puerto Rico."
