UFC has a highly rated reality show which runs up to three seasons a year, live fight nights every few months, Unleashed, then specials like Ultimate Knock Outs, Top 100, etc etc etc.. As a sponsor, UFC gets revenue from companies like Full Contact Fighter, TapOut, Throwdown, etc etc etc.. On top of that are the PPV which have been murdering WWE's for the past 3 years or so.. Another uneducated mark, speaking out of turn.. |

Calling UFC a wrestling company is an inaccurate statement.
UFC and WWE are on completely different wave lengths, and are comparable only in the fact that one is a combat sport, and the other is plays the part of a combat sport. The UFC isn't producing characters in the same sense that the wrestling does. Fighters characters are who the fighters are or choose to be. Dana White didn't sign Rampage for his ability as a character, he signed him because he is one of the top competitors at his weight class. UFC is a legitimate combat sport, the WWE just plays one on TV. |

You are right on one thing though. They aren't comparable. UFC absolutely kicks their arses on PPV and that's where the money is made. UFC can break the 1 million buys barrier on PPV and WWE never will even if they add every international buy they can. |

What is the point of this thread? UFC is hot right now. No shit. An obvious point. UFC is more profitable than WWE atm. No shit, an obvious point. The opening post comparisons are daft. If Triple H fought in public once every 3-4 months, maybe you'd be onto something. However, comparing the 2 companies under those circumstances is ridiculous.

Dana also puts Rampage as a coach on TUF because of his personallity as well as his abilities as a fighter. Why do you think there are fight of the night bonuses? It's because these guys first and foremost are there to put on a show. |

The point is that if WWE treated its own product and fans with more respect and realism, they wouldn't be sucking.
WWE needs to be cutting edge and up to date with modern day styles and influences. But they have ZZ Top on Raw this monday night. Says it all. |

About 380,000. This was for a European show that was broadcast outside of the normal UFC timeslot and never had a solid marquee match. And it was a North American rating. Only Wrestlemania came close to this.

Why? The only problem I can see is the wrestling marks defending WWE like it's their child. They forget everyone posting here at some point actually liked wrestling. Most who stopped watching would LOVE to be able to watch something that entertained them. The wrestling marks (for lack of a better word) can't grasp this.

ufc has a slightly different demographic than wwe though tbh. it obviously has it's wrestling crossover but then you're gonna find it has the boxing fans too and perhaps people into martial arts films. lot of people at muay thai had no time for wwe but were plenty interested in mma. people want to see what works.

Yeah because I am the only one here that prefers actual combat sport over staged exhibition..
And yes I do <3 Dana White, for the record.. |

i'm not saying ufc will be more popular overall, just ufc has a wider spread of people to choose from i guess. wrestling is something i imagine nearly all of us got into at a young age.

They probably won't be doing 1.7 million buys again anytime soon but I'd be quite suprised if they didn't break the 1 million barrier at least twice in the next 12 months too. Brock Lesnar is a legit super draw now.

I mean, I guess MMA does have a few good things. It was part of the training of the most extreme combatant ever.

Without checking, that number isn't too far off. Had it not been for some sub par marquee European shows with poor time slots and a couple of Anderson Silva fights (who clearly isn't the draw people think he is), the number would be a lot higher too.

This was a good topic, unfortunately, most wrestling fans are retards and can't accept criticisms about WWE unless it comes from them.
