    ...there will also be UFC 103 that night on PPV.

    Does UFC stand a chance that evening?

    I actually doubt either markets will touch. UFC 103 is currently looking like a weak card which is probably a good way to avoid blowing off a big PPV fight and losing half your audience.

    I say Mayweather/Marquez does more.

    I was about to say the same. That card looks very weak.

    Right. It'll still get a minimum of 300K buys because eventually they'll throw one of their marquee guys at the top just to guarantee a certain amount of people tuning in.

    I say UFC will do 350K-400K and Floyd-JMM will do about 600K to 650K. Ultimately over 1,000,000 will tune in to watch combat sports on Saturday. Mighty impressive.

    We'll see. I was thinking more around the 500kish for Floyd. But as people start to realize this fight isn't as much of a mismatch as it seems maybe it can generate more.

    I think once the 24/7 **** starts to get going, the buyrate will bump up.

    They haven't announced the main event for UFC 103 yet... and I don't expect big numbers for PBF vs Marquez.. so it's still up in the air.

    Darchinyan-Agbeko got just as many viewers as UFC 100 got in buys....I think that tells you something, without a doubt Mayweather-Marquez will get more buys around the World without a doubt, and probably more here in America as well.

    UFC is for ***s, and white trash.

    PBF vs. JMM has atleast one good undercard in Juarez vs. John 2.

    I thought there may be more votes for 'neither' especially because of Mayweather's latest comments...
