Pacquiao is barely enough to compete with the UFC, Mayweather is the only one in boxing today that can match and put up bigger numbers. UFC and MMA is here to stay, and it's only gettin bigger. Once Mayweather is gone boxing will be in a long drought, I'm not saying it's gonna die cuz I watch boxing and i'm still a fan and theres alot of talent out there but it's gonna take time to build up multiple superstars, and by then theres no telling how much the UFC will have grown and if boxing can still go head to head with them.

how does Pacquiao barely compete with UFC? lol Who is the largest star in UFC? Pacquiao will earn more fighting Mayweather then that fighter will earn in a lifetime of UFC events....shit, maybe even more from his fight with Cotto. From what Ive seen...he would make more off the Mayweather fight then then every fighter on a UFC events card combined lol If UFC is drawing what boxing draws...how come its fighters earn what boxers earned 20 yrs ago?

Brock Lesnar is the biggest draw in the UFC and he can draw with anybody including pacquiao
--- End quote ---
Brock Lesnar is such a big draw mainly because of his WWE background. You tell me ANY matchup in UFC that will draw anywhere NEAR what a Pacquiao/ Mayweather fight would. Again...both of those fighters will earn more in that one fight then any MMA'r will in their entire career off of fights. lol Unfortunately I dont believe UFC releases their revenue earnings off of PPV events. They only release the bonuses...PPV buys...and tickets sold at the gate. One would assume that the ONLY reason a company would not release those figures would be because they are not competitive with boxing. If they were...or if they were significantly better....UFC would release the SHIT outta those numbers as boxing is basically a competitor of UFC. If UFC earned as much as boxing...its big name fighters would earn the same money boxers do. They dont though.

There isn't a fight RIGHT NOW that will pull those numbers, there are cards that can do $2m+ at the moment but looking down the road the UFC will be there. But thats beyond the point, everyone in here knows that that fight will pull more than any PPV event, but once that fight passes what does boxing have left? Shit. It's obvious where the money is going, expansion. They're hitting markets like Ireland, England, Germany, Australia, Abu Dhabi, Montreal, Vancouver in a few months, theres plans to hit Korea, China, Japan, Mexico, etc. Not to mention theres about 18 fighters on each card, $200-500K in bonus money paid out at each event. It's a young sport, as time goes on and it gets bigger and bigger the fighters will get paid alot more. When UFC/MMA is as old as boxing is right now, Pacquiao-Mayweather, Tyson-Lewis, Tyson-Holyfield #'s arent gonna be anywhere in sight. Theres alot of countries that the ufc broadcasts their cards for free, once they're done introducing MMA in those markets and start selling MMA there the #'s are gonna be even bigger.

exactly, the only argument you have is mayweather\pacquiao..
