UFC is still on FOX.

"The most recent edition of the UFC on FOX drew a 1.8 rating, the seventh straight UFC telecast on the network to earn less than a 2.0 (dating back to July 2013). It has been more than two years since the UFC on FOX last cracked a 2.5 rating, and more than three since it earned a 3.0 — when the debut telecast drew a 3.1 in November 2011."

I remember watching the Mayweather/Ortiz ppv at a bar heard that stuff loud and clear September 2011.
Saw mayweather/guerrero ppv at a bar and you still hear it but nowhere near as much may 2013
And it seems like MMA/UFC has been in a free fall since then, while boxing is about to have its biggest fight in quite some time march 2015

canelo got next

that boy cant sell a fight to save his life


only broner or wilder can be next up

In boxing, you earn your dues. You're not 3 fights in going against the top dog. That MMA shyt is whack. Kickboxing is okay but hugging nikkas across the ground!?!?! Keep it.

MMA has more action than boxing flat out...Boxing was at its peak when the heavyweights were running things...People don't care about klitchko and Wilder isn't getting the hype...

I get that you earn your rep but real spit people only care about marquee matchups.

To be fair, Boxer Vasyl Lomachenko fought for the WBO Featherweight Championship in his 2nd professional fight and won it in his 3rd professional fight....coming into the bout with a 1-1 career record.

but dude kind of did earn his "dues" ... with a 396-1 amateur record....plus

He won the silver medal at the 2007 World Amateur Boxing Championships, gold medals at the 2009 World Amateur Boxing Championships[2] and 2011 World Amateur Boxing Championships, as well as the gold medal at the 2008 Beijing Olympics in the featherweight division and 2012 London Olympics in the lightweightdivision.

[Tide Run This]

Boxing and Baseball dying are the WOAT narratives I see and hear yearly on tv and internet.

I watch both, there have been wack match ups/boring fights in both sports...as well as action fights.

as for wilder...

The Wilder-Stiverne fight brought in a reported average of 1.24 million viewers with a peak of 1.34 million viewers, making it the second best Showtime audience since the Cotto-Trout fight three years ago. What’s particularly impressive about Wilder’s ratings is he did it against a heavyweight who isn’t that well-known in the United States, and who likely didn’t bring much to the table in terms of fans.

Wilder kind of did it on his own in attracting the fans, and that’s pretty impressive. One can only imagine the ratings that Wilder will get when he starts facing guys like Wladimir Klitschko and Tyson Fury.

Deontay Wilder’s WBC heavyweight title-winning unanimous decision over Bermane Stiverne on Saturday generated a record viewership for Showtime Championship Boxing, the network announced on Wednesday.

Not only did Wilder’s victory make him America’s first heavyweight titleholder since Shannon Briggs in 2007, but the main event of the three-fight card captured an average audience of 1.24 million viewers, which ranks as the network’s fourth-highest rated fight ever.

Co-promoted by Golden Boy and Don King, Wilder-Stiverne attracted a peak audience of 1.34 million viewers, which ranks as the highest fight on any premium network over the past year, according to the Showtime release.

And that was on showtime, not free on fox....

and he has a pretty good following on twitter and facebook for someone thats not getting any "hype"

all in all quit speaking on shyt you know nothing about fukkBOI.

what you mean he cant sell a fight? then you have the audacity to bring up broner

wilder is a gimmick at this point, keep him very far away from the porous legit hw's of today

Actually I do know about this ya bytch...What boxer today is receiving the pub that guys Like Tyson, sugar Ray, Foreman etc used to get? there is no reason why guys like Wilder, Broner, Thurman, Brook etc aren't doing commercials etc..

I'm talking about Sports popularity not just boxing popular why don't these guys get the big push...Combat sports are popular...shyt you can't even get an annual boxing video game.

Than lets add on the fact I grew up boxing and around boxing shyt was extremely popular in the 80s and early 90s...

How do you get that popularity back?

1.Jack Johnson > Jack Dempsey > Joe Louis> Marciano> Ali> Tyson> Mayweather >..............

Someones always there to fill the void.

2. Boxing is linked with american (and mexican, british,) culture, it will never die.

3. Boxing has no competition. UFC had a buzz when it started but now? Steroid scandals, champions getting injured yearly, not drawing that much etc It won't die but it will be a distant second for a long time.

You kind of SKIPPED the De La Hoya factor here....
