Boxing batters mixed martial arts at the gate

[blegit]

Its not fair to compare UFC's last few cards to the two most popular boxers in the world. Let's see how Kessler-Ward did. I like boxing way more, but overall UFC has had a lot of 800k+ppv buys over the last couple of years while Boxing hasn't. They put a lot more intriguing fights on their cards then even most big boxing events. Boxing honestly needs to start putting a lot of top end prospects in with known, valid stepping stones as undercards because it shines a light on prospects while making the undercard a lot more entertaining, and it builds the future of the sport through the prospects. I thought on the Pacquiao-ODLH undercard they had the right talent against the wrong opposition on the undercard.

I agree with a lot of what you say Taeth but to be fair Dana White asked for this feud to continue when he said the UFC PPV would smash PBF/Marquez. And the UFC will always do a better job of putting their better fighters against each other in a card because their fighters are a lot cheaper to pay. The top fighters in boxing get millions. Floyd, Pac, Cotto, DLH, and some others have to get paid more individually to fight in a major fight than a whole UFC card of fighters combined. The payroll in boxing is just too high to compete with the UFC in matching PPV card for card. That is why the UFC can put on a major card every few weeks and have more PPV buys throughout the year. But the best of boxing versus the best of UFC is always going to go to boxing. But the UFC works its quantity angle and will sell more throughout the year. The UFC cards are good for the customer but not good for the fighters. Many of them have been quite outspoken about this.
