If Hatton vs Pacquiao doesn't do Big PPV numbers does it mean MMA is bigger?

MMA PPV's are CHEAPER than boxing PPV's....Boxers make a ton more money than MMA fighters.

not really MMA ppv is pretty good price it used to be 29 bucks 5 years ago now its 44 bucks.

and Boxers make more money but only the stars.

[El Kabong]

Boxers on the whole make more than MMA fighters...the stars of boxing make more than the stars of MMA and the average boxer makes more than the average MMA fighter....Boxing is economically better for the fighter AND the fan.

Totally right about the history thing. Boxing has been around as an actual sport for more than a century. You can't beat that kind of history. Boxing will never surpass MMA. I think its like a fad. Everyone thinks its cool to like MMA. It won't last, or at least I hope. I can't even stand watching MMA. A bunch of guys rolling on each other? No thanks. I also know what its like to actually fight and it doesn't compare to boxing. MMA is, or at least I hope, a fad and people will come back to boxing.

Now boxing needs some serious upgrades. There needs to be one system. Not these multitudes of belts stuff. When they say he's the heavyweight champion of the world it should be THE not "one of them". There should be one and one only. Officials need to stop being money greedy and plan for the good of the sport. Boxing is dying, face it. And we need a Muhammad Ali (a guy just as popular outside the ring as inside) to rise up and carry boxing. And I'm sure there will be a guy like that someday. A superstar, a guy that people (even non-boxing fans) love. Love him or not, Muhammad Ali was a popular guy. But that's just chance. That the right guy will come (yes, it's the right time). Now what I hope... is its myself

"Bigger" is not always better and in this case its like trying to compare the ill fated XFL leauge to the Long standing NFL.But at least up till now MMA has Vince McMahon beat in longevity

MMA has a way to go before it can come close to matching boxing.....

One of the biggest problems with MMA is the minute you fall in love with a fighter he gets his asked kicked...there is not much room for errror so it is VERY HARD to build up super stars... and super stars are what draws the fans......

I follow boxing and MMA closely but still prefer boxing.....
