Yeah, if Mayweather is the headliner. Even Pacquaio's buyrate dipped after his loss, agaisnt Rios he couldn't even do 500k.

Canelo did 350k vs Angulo... UFC 170 did more than that and the card was headlined by two women. UFC 168 did well over a million.

Take Mayweather and Pacquaio out of the picture (and they likely will be out of the picture in a few short years) and boxing PPV is in a sorry state.

The UFC's biggest draws are mostly young and they are constantly developing new stars.

What happens to new potential stars in boxing, like Ward? They get snubbed by the major networks
