Reminder a single boxing match generated the UFC's annual revenue

[nanika]

Mayweather-Pacquiao and the UFC's best year ever had the same revenue. The boxing match undoubtedly created more income. Just reminding people of the scope of the UFC and MMA in general because its easy to forget in our little world.

What an incredibly pointless reminder.

Pac/Floyd is an outlier. Its gonna be a record for a long time. Rest of UFCs year did better than rest of boxings year minus that fight

 

[Ceez]

Who gives a shit

 

[Soul On Ice]

And it was fucking shit, just a reminder.

May-Pac was an anomaly, there isn't an active boxer who can sell 1 million buys these days

that fight was boxings last hurrah and everyone watched and it was terrible.

might be a reason since then ufc has really seemed to take over boxing. well one of the many reasons.

 

[ClosetVitorFan]

And how much has boxing made since? This is a marathon. Not a sprint.

 

[Rubberchin]

What were the PPV numbers for Mayweather's last fight?

 

[RexChapmanFan]

Boxing has been an industry for hundreds of years, compared to MMA's being around as a real business since 1993. What do you expect?

 

[reveler]

how much revenue did all of boxing generate compared to just may/pac?

 

[Unfinished Sentenc]

go back to the boxing forum ts

 

[sonhow]

And the two guys shared about three hundred million bucks. Thats a lot of cash compared to any sport.

 

[robotsonic]

LOL at people who use the biggest boxing match ever as some sort of measuring stick against anything. Would you compare UFC 100 to your average boxing event?

 

[Credo]

Remider: MMA (UFC) started 1993.

 

[MrFeeny]

in the past 4 months, the ufc has more 1 mil+ ppvs than boxing has had in the past 3 years

Reminder: A single football game generated even more revenue.

May/Pac was 5+ years of pent up demand for the biggest boxing match ever. Its silly to compare that fight to anything.
