....300m people in 76 countries watched.. ..The sport’s rise has turned leading promoter UFC into a multinational company recently estimated by Forbes magazine to be worth $1 billion. It is now seen by many sporting pundits – who give it more space than boxing in some US newspapers – as a threat to the future of traditional pugilism... ...TV audiences alone helped UFC make $200 million last year, and eight of the ten most watched pay-per-view events, in any sport, including boxing, were promoted by UFC...
Seems like a lot of people disagree with you. You seem to view UFC as a combination of being too boring on the one hand and too aggressive and/or uncontrolled on the other. But as you said in you last post on the other UFC thread, you won't be watching it anymore...
