UFC remains king of PPV hill

That's kind of sad that St. Pierre got 60k for 1 of his last fights as someone pointed out and this guy is a top star in his sport. Muhammad Ali an unknown green boxer was getting around that kind of pay 56k before his Liston fight, and this was about almost 50 years ago!

Where is the source for this quote ? I'd be very suprised. Also GSP will have earned 4 times that amount with all the other sponsors, bonus's thrown in. There is no way on this earth that GSP earned 60k for one of his recent fights, no chance.

Don't ask me, ask blegit he pointed it out that GSP only got 60k in 1 of his last fights. It's the post before the one I made about Ali's fight purses.

Ufc 100 GSP got 400k bit different to 60 k lol plus a 200k win bonus so in total 600k.

Sorry if this is a little blunt, but I'd hazard a guess that UFC isn't "King" of any hill, and this thread should be moved, i'm bored of seeing the thread title up there. UFC, MMA or any other contest of similar ilk won't be taking over boxing anytime soon. I don't think two men spending half the time or even any time grappling each other on the floor appeals to a wide enough audience..... ha
