Now I am a fan of both MMA and Boxing.. but we should get our facts straight.
Boxing vs MMA: The Numbers Game?Who is Really Getting KO'ed?
"Mayweather last year alone sold four million PPV's, one fighter sells nearly as much as the entire UFC in a whole year? I think this one is a wrap up, the UFC is not even coming close to Boxing numbers it only takes a few big megafights a year to drown the UFC PPV numbers. Boxing has never been this popular, the PPV numbers have never been this high and the sport has more multi million PPV sellers right now than any point in its history."

"If we were to aggregate the rankings and combine the top boxing and MMA gates of all time, an MMA event would not appear until NUMBER 35; just below the Mike Tyson/Razor Ruddick (I) fight in 1991, and just above de la Hoya/Pernell Whitaker fight in 1997."
