        I would have to guess that i have been to maybe 100 bars or more TOTAL on fight night over the past decade or so. I would go when i couldnt even drink and such.

        I've lived in five different states. Las Angelas for 2 years, Texas for 1-1/2 years, Washington for a year, Vermont for 2 years, and now New York for almost a year.

        And i have NEVER, NOT EVER, witnessed a UFC fight being aired on the TV. not once, not even for a second.

        If I go to a bar, which i prolly wont, but if i did and i saw that junk UFC fight over PACMAN-MORALES III, i would be stunned! it'll never happen in NY, and it hasnt happened anywhere else i have ever lived in

          GOOD POST MAN but I have witnessed many times MAIN EVENT Fights that just happen to be on the same night as UFC or PRIDE both being shown at the bars in different sections on different big screens.

            well you guys probally aint even ordering the pacman fight lol...so the ppv numbers will be lower...most guys just try to jack a streaming video online or watch it when someone posts it up a few hours after.

            ufc fans at least pay for the fight and watch it live they arent stingy.

              the pacman vs morales even though i am ordering it will be going up against the mega attraction of the new wave UFC! on nov 18 same day shows.

              PACMAN vs morales 3 the grand finale will do maybe 200,000 ppv buys.

              and the ufc 65 will do maybe 650,000 ppv buys.

              honest estimation....remember that most bars are not showing the pacman fight they are showing the ufc fight that night...so it will account for half of hte ppv sales.

              so u think the morales pac fight will do less the mayweather and baldomir?which did over 300,000 buys?and the ufc doesnt or pride doesnt show fights regulary like boxing so of course there going to put on a real good show cause its not always on tv like boxing. and when i bet most ppl dont even know 5 ufc fighters off hand.also with boxing alot of the times they have there countries behind them,it isnt clearly like that in mma

                ya thats all they got! americans dont watch boxing anymore...

                the americans are behind UFC...it shows by the numbers...and the reason is white champions before white guys were getting whooped in boxing for a long time! white people were said they couldnt fight...now when ufc came around and you can grab a guy and mount him an hit him it makes them feel powerful...so what do you think they will watch boxing which most white midwestern men cant relate to or wrestling ala ufc ground and pound?

                remember Cooney? when he fought larry holmes? he was the great white hype that guy was huge at that time! whites stuck behind him big time.

                Same thing with ufc if ********** start dominating ufc the ratings will drop...

                Mainstream equals white america.

                    ya thats what im saying...thatws why ufc is so big because white boys wanna be tough...blacks, and latinos were whooping them in boxing...now any white guy can say he is a fighter now in MMA...

                    but once mma is being taught in the hood or ****** areas white people will see a changing of the tide...i just hope they dont do a white flight when it happens.

                      I love how he always says, "I don't like UFC I only watch it when it's free", yet he is the only guy here that posts Boxing is dying due to UFC threads. LMAO, please leave and go back to watching UFC which you clearly love.
