Boxing has dropped below a fringe sport when it is not even considered as a choice in online surveys.

Originally posted by Eff Pandas View PostRapidly declining market? I'm definitely rooting for PPV's demise, but boxing has broken its PPV revenue record three times during the last 8 years, twice during the last 2 years & I believe the UFC has 4 fighters (Weidman, Rousey, McGregor & Jones) who are pulling in 700k+ numbers lately which is great for them. Doesn't seem like its a rapidly declining market unless that just happened in the last 60 or so days.
If Canelo vs Cotto does 400k I think we can start talking about maybe Floyd vs Manny & Manny vs his subpar opponents pre-Floyd & Floyd vs subpar Berto post-Manny PPV's having a overall negative impact on PPV, but I think its just the formula of fights seen as lacking in competitiveness &/or hype not generating big numbers not the PPV going to ****.
UFC finds star every corner and can match the best vs the best. And Dana is great in his job

Lol at ppl doubting fight hype tho. When was the last time they were wrong about something? They've been right numerous times.

There is zero evidence people won't buy PPV to see perceived competitive fights between top fighters. When you try to put one over on the public you tend to feel that in your PPV numbers.

I'll wait for Canelo-Cotto but Floyd-Manny may hurt boxing PPV overall.
