Well, I've been entertaining the silly argument that MMA has taken over boxing, and I've been looking at these numbers. Now, I look further into it and numerous sources claim THESE NUMBERS ARE INFLATED. Are you kidding me? Even though the numbers do indeed appear fake, they still take a back seat to boxing. Remember, PPV events are not exactly a good thing. Fights every weekend on HBO and Showtime are a good thing. There are several ways to measure the success of each "sport". The bottom line as far as I'm concerned: if there is so much money in MMA, why do the fighters get paid a mere fraction of boxers?
I think I can do that....but I must warn you, they will not be made up numbers, they will be REAL numbers.
