Did the UFC ever overtake boxing like everyone was saying it would?

Women fighters do female mma fighters make more than female boxers and they do get a bit more recognition there. Look at Heather Hardy and Amanda Serrano.

I don’t watch boxing or MMA to watch women fight and I’m sure 90% agree with me

People have begun to realize that every champion is “the greatest fighter this division has ever seen”. They hype everyone and every fight as the GOAT. The upcoming PPV is the biggest, most stacked card of all time, every single time, according to those who work for UFC. That’s awesome for attracting new fans but the people who are sticking around see that you’re turning everything into a hype job.

Russia, Japan, Poland, Australia. The nordic countries generally sway more towards MMA than boxing too in my experience.

Of course not, but MMA does have a decent international scene. The UFC is probably the most "global" American sports league after the NBA.

Agreed it's decent American sport I like the way it's managed more than boxing tbh it's just the actual sport that I don't enjoy anywhere near as much.
