reason why there are no more Superstars

[SlimTrae]

MMA has taken boxing's thunder.

Packed arenas every time out.

Has it fuck, who watches MMA?

couple of mongs down the pub

MMA is shit, its like a really shit boxing fight ever time

#1. I said packed arenas. Watching it on t.v. & being there are two different things. Can you figure that one out? think for a second....I'll wait....
Okay.
#2. Your opinion on what you think about it- is about the same as mines. So...look @ my opinion. Oh, Fuck...I didn't give one did I?
#3. For you & anyone else who thinks the argument is MMA is replacing Boxing. No. Mines is simple: Boxing isn't doing what it use to, especially here in the states. Why else is this thread in existence?
Think about it for a second...I'll wait......
Here is one estimate- per MMA to sherdog:
For UFC:
13 pay-per-view in 2012 = approximately 5.7 million buys
16 pay-per-view-in 2011 = approximately 6.4 million.
On about 400,000- 438,000.
I don't have the recent year- but the year Floyd fought Cotto:

1. Boxing - May 5 - Floyd Mayweather vs. Miguel Cotto 1,500,000
2. Boxing - December 8 - Manny Pacquiao vs. Juan Manuel Marquez 1,150,000
3. UFC 148 - July 7 - Anderson Silva vs. Chael Sonnen 925,000
4. WWE WrestleMania - April 1 - The Rock vs. John Cena 715,000
5. UFC 145 - April 21 - Jon Jones vs. Rashad Evans 700,000
5. UFC 154 - November 17 - Georges St-Pierre vs. Carlos Condit 700,000
5. Boxing - June 9 - Manny Pacquiao vs. Timothy Bradley 700,000

Now the above is for those who kept re-writing my statement which dealt with gate/ticket sells, NOT PPV events.
Find boxers who sells thousands of seats & that's probably Wlad-over seas. Froch over seas.
Who sells thousands here? JCC jr? yeah if he's in Texas aka Texaco USA.
Hopkins can't Bradley Stivernne coming here can't. Ward only in his home city. Connecticut-where you @ Walrus? They do plenty of fights there, but are they 10thousand venue seats? Since Gatti when was the last time we had a sellout event at Atlantic city?
Pac or PBF fights here in Vegas, who here can afford a ticket? Not one of ya'll asses is getting a ticket outside the nosebleed seats.

MMA is selling out here & in Mexico
Sold-Out UFC 180: Velasquez vs. Werdum To Air in 400 Theaters Across the Nation | MMAWeekly.com
Velazquez sold out. Not a tiny ass 3,200 venue place either.

UFC 129 55k sold
UFC 129 Sold Out, Shatters Records With 55,000 Tickets | MMAWeekly.com

UFC 124: St-Pierre vs. Koscheck 2 23,152 fans.

The previous gate record for a UFC event was $5.4 million Dec. 30, 2006 at MGM aka PBF-ville

This link below shows that MMA generates the same ridiculous prices for top seats. SO once again I end with what I started with: Packed arenas every time out

UFC 167 high-dollar ticket sales means 20th Anniversary show is most 'in-demand' event in Zuffa's history - MMAmania.com
