    Couldn't be more wrong. Publicity and participation at all time highs and continuing to grow. Know anything about the scene outside of your neck of the woods? Obviously not.


    Idiots go by PPV rates as some indicator.

    Unless you are some international, jet setting statistician how would you know what the MMA - Boxing scene is like?:huh

    Let me look at the typical Aussie TV week free to air. Boxing - 2 shows this week, both half hour. MMA - 3 shows this week over six hours of footage.

    The fight promotions in my state last year. Boxing - 26 shows Pro and AM. MMA / Muay Thai - 47 shows.

    Full time gyms in the city of Melbourne. MMA - 3 (all offering boxing) Boxing - 0.

    Dude,publicity and participation DO NOT pay the bills.UFC has sold off at least 10% of their company to Arabs and their PPV buy rate is off more than 30% from 2010.What the **** don't you get?
    This is the reason they are selling to commercial television for guaranteed cash.Take a crash course in economics and then get back to me.
    Until then,STFU and learn.

    You may just be right. These guys are very well trained but the body can be vulnerable We have seen deaths as a result to a blow to the head in boxing. Kicks and elbows to the head can be devastating

    Are you a martial artist? When I first watched it I thought that it was too bloody especially the ground and pound . I wrestled in high school so I appreciated the take downs and some wrestling but did not understand the jujitsu. I love the strategy of the sport.

    Kickboxing cost me more money then I ever made. I was 5 and 1 and I stopped before making the bigger paydays because I just had a family. However the money wasn't there it wasn't worth it. I know some younger MMA fighters that are saying the same thing.

    Pay attention Professor ****wit - before you make your bull**** statements about MMA worldwide get it through your thick head that the UFC is one org and there are many orgs in many countries. All you have posted on this topic is *** and fanboy **** comments just like the internet ****wad you obviously are. Read your pathetic response - publicity and participation does not pay the bills? What a stupid ****in comment.


    Get outta here and **** off back to the lounge.

    ONE FC is becoming the biggest Asian promotion. Features champions of other disciplines fighting against each other in MMA so there's a lot of cross trianing going on.

    Super Fight League is in India and it's pretty ridiculous right now but they put a lot of work into production and spectacle. Just need to attract decent names.
