HBO Boxing commentator Jim Lampley feels that, because of it's business model, the UFC will never hold events as big as in boxing.
Although UFC 196: McGregor vs. Diaz has been the most successful pay-per-view in UFC history, with estimated 1.5 million buys, it didn't come even close to the 4.4 million that boxing's so called "Fight of the Century" between Floyd Mayweather and Manny Pacquiao.
HBO boxing commentator Jim Lampley, who is never shy to criticize the UFC or MMA in general, now has an explanation, why even the biggest UFC cards fail to reach the buy rate of a blockbuster boxing event.
