UFC officially bigger than Boxing?

[RSBonos]

That is called an outlier. One fight out of how many? UFC consistently does 1M buys a show. That thumps boxing.

They haven't broken 1 million this year. Their outliers are 700-900k

The problem is UFC stars are out shining boxing stars....

No they are not...I don't like Boxing and UFC comparisons, it's just so ****** but in terms of marketable stars, boxing on a global scale has Wlad, Cotto, Canelo, Khan and a handful of others.

UFC has...possibly Rousey and then who? Connor? None of thoseg uys match anything close to the earnings, viewing figures or PPV buys of the boxing names. It's simple mathematics.

i would put money on wlad actually. guy would not be clueless he actually is a hell of a kick boxer so its not like hes clueless in other forms of fighting. the only chance they would have is submission but does that really make u the baddest man on the planet? not in my book it dont to me if ur trying to prove ur the baddest man on planet bending someones arm backwards not really doing it for me

If you put Wlad and a top 10 UFC HW in a room and close the door, the UFC HW is the one walking out of there under his own power. Plain and simple.

Boxing is a great sport, it's a sport I love, but in terms of combat it's a VERY limited sport. You attack with two hands, and that's it. Compare that to muay thai, where you attack with two hands, two feet, two knees, and two elbows. Or MMA, where you attack with all those things and you also grapple and can break limbs and choke people unconscious. A guy just using his two hands is going to be helpless against that kind of variety of attack. These are simply the facts.

ufc is dying imo

You're basing that on what exactly? They just had a PPV that did 850k buys, and followed it up with a PPV that did about a million buys or more.

They have a show coming up in Dallas that is pegged to break all kinds of records.

The UFC Is doing great.

The question is how will boxing do now that Mayweather is gone and Pacquiao is not far behind him.

dude, she was even a famous boxer before going to MMA

I remember Holly Holm very well just ***ed the spelling of her name up, I do that a lot lol
