IS UFC bigger than baseball?

[JustOnce]

Now, I believe.Dana White once implied that UFC will be, if not is, bigger than soccer, but what about compared to baseball?

There is a talk of Fox parting ways with UFC, and FS1 has decided to pick up Ohtani's game on Sunday that doesn't appear to have been scheduled prior to. If you don't know who Ohtani is, well, he's the biggest story in all of sports right now. It's just one game, and not really comparing one to the other, but just made me wonder.

 

[Ares Black]

in some parts of the world, maybe. Not overall.

 

[Blayt7hh]

Do people watch baseball still??

The one major sport that sucks more than soccer

 

[wilKO]

In the UK and Ireland etc yeah. Baseball doesn't exist here. But on a global level baseball is bigger and more prestigious.

Yankees average 40,000 fans a home game, 81 times a season.

UFC has gotten 40,000+ fans 3 times in its lifetime.

Is UFC bigger than the moon?

 

[90 50]

Not even close , how many stadiums have how many fans in them how many days a year?

It’s not even in the same ballpark son

 

[Joe Wong]

I'm pretty sure the Boston Redsox are bigger than the UFC...

No, because there are still too many tool-ass pretty boys spitting tobacco and throwing balls at each other in the world

Well. One team is worth well over half of what the UFC sold for, and there are over 30 teams. Does that answer your question?

 

[derrrrp]

attendance, no. revenue, no. ppv buys, yes.

 

[tmsxl]

No one cares or even knows who Ohtani is outside of baseball.

LMAO. Is this a serious question? The LA Dodgers TV deal is worth $8.3 BILLLION. That is one team.


Fun fact, MLB has become a huge force in the online streaming area. Their Advanced Media wing handles the on demand infrastructure for HBO GO, WWE, PGA, NHL and ESPN. Just that arm of MLB makes $600+ million a year in revenue.
