    The more UFC can keep their fighters in the dark ages about how much they really make, the cheaper they can pay guys. Kinda like the serfs in medieval times.

    You may have a point there.. I wonder how those guys aren't getting more money. They obviously have a big fan base and it's popular, so their purses should be higher. They would attract better competition if they bumped up the average purse IMO.

    That's what I always thought and pretty much what anybody with a level-head would think. I follow all three of those (yeah, wrestling, too) and I have no problem keeping with all three and paying for good cards and waiting for everything else to show up on replays or the Internet. To me, it's more interesting than anything.

    None of them are a threat to each other. There are a lot of crossover audiences.

    The most glaring thing about this is not Boxing, or MMA, it's this

    I can't believe almost 800K bought a WWF event. What is this world coming to?:-(

    Big question is $ for $ what did each PPV cost? Comparisons make no sense otherwise.

    Good to live in sweden, ufc on free tv and the few boxing shows shown on cable. Only thing on ppv is elit league hockey games or allsvenskan soccer games (wrestling isnt televised cause even our kids think it sucks).

    I'm going to go out on a limb and say that most of these are bought at bars/clubs. These WWF events are ALWAYS playing at restaurants/bars/clubs I am in.....seriously ALL THE TIME
