Comparison between UFC and Boxing Pay Per View Buys

Floyd-Mayweather

This weekend will be one of the biggest fights of the year in Las Vegas and will not take place in any type of octagon or cage setting. Undefeated (41-0; 25 KO, 16 Dec) Floyd “Money” Mayweather Jr. will be defending his WBC welterweight championship against “Vicious” Victor Ortiz (29-2-2; 22 KO) and given the history of the pay per view purchases generated by Mayweather, the argument that boxing is the more lucrative sport with a dedicated following could be echoed if sales are like anything past in comparison to UFC ppv purchases.

Did the UFC really just sign James Toney?

According to Five ounces of pain Professional Boxer James Toney and the UFC have agreed on a multi-fight contract. The 41 year old Toney was seen at UFC 108 stalking Dana White in hopes of negotiating terms to enter the UFC. Toney finally caught up with White at the post fight press conference telling White he wanted to prove what was better Boxing or MMA. I sure this sparked White’s interest as he has on many occasion that MMA is better the Boxing and even called out Floyd Mayweather.
