Kind of like comparing the popularity of a sport with 200+years of tradition with a sport that has been available on PPV in the US for not quite 20 years.

To be fair to UFC what they do do, they do perfectly

Stack the card with your main guys, throw in loud music, sexy women and high pitched commentary. Its WWE esque but it works

With boxing due to the nature of the beast theres always that serious working ethic towards it. Even the biggest PPV fights contain mid to low standard undercard fighters and the crowd present dont get the encore a UFC fight fan will get.

I hope to god the day never comes where we have to sell out the way ufc has done to scantily clad women and firework entrances. But at the same time it would do no harm to see better stacked PPV cards in terms of the fighters on show and more effort put towards the actual night than just the main event!
