MMA vs Boxing: Which Has the Better Ceiling?

[Bawse]

I think the ceiling for MMA is higher. The UFC already generates more viewers than boxing in many major events. What do you think?

MMA’s ceiling is more than that of boxing now no doubt. Boxing still have that history which MMA don't have. Their actions are very unpredictable. Boxing sometimes could turn into a 12 rounds of careful dancing. You would be checking the time every now and then. MMA does not waste time like that. But money wise, boxing is still ahead.

This is because UFC benefits from frequency and stacked cards. Normally, they have about 40+ events a year with strong prelims and main fight cards. Also, their deal with ESPN/CBS pushes their viewership a lot more higher. This year already, the UFC have managed about 2.65 million viewers on all their fight cards.
