For all of you saying MMA is a "D-level sport"

Lol at ufc not being d level.

Look, we all love mma and the ufc in particular but let's be real, it's a joke.
Wwe for adults.

It's run like a shambles, the fighters are thick as shit and there is zero to none professionalism across the board.
But they scrap an we all love a good scrap.
Give it another 25yrs an let's see where its at but my guess is, still a very long way behind proper sports.
How can be D level if has fights in the best arenas in the world ?
 
This guy has fought on 2 ppv main cards. D Level confirmed

MMA is a B/C level sport with C/D level athletes. But it's not so bad, Olympic sports like Bobsled and Trapshooting have F level athletes.
 
Golf is pretty popular to be honest. Some BS no name tournament will still get like 3 to 4 million views on CBS on the weekends. I know way more people that play/watch golf then at least half the major sports
Plus golf gets premium advertising because of the demographic.

You aren't gonna see Bentley, HSBC and Rolex sponsoring UFC.
 
I was most surprised to see NASCAR had less followers than golf. But I guess they probably don't know how to use computers in the south so I kinda see why it might be lower
NASCAR started going downhill around 2007. That sport used to have personality. Now it's (in some ways) less popular than fucking golf. Shame that the management turned it into this because it used to be one of my favorite sports to watch.

instead, you get FRAM auto parts, Payday loans, and Reebok wrist bands.
 
D-level my ass!! This has been the greatest sport on the planet since day1 Royce Gracie tapping out all comers!!
 
It'll never, people just don't care like that when it comes to mma.
 
i dont give a fuck where you were. Im in germany right now and a baseball club is opening here.

If you can't get 1000 people to buy ticket to a European championship game like I proved, especially in an easy access country like the Netherlands, there is clearly no interest. Seriously, my random local ice hockey team used to get more people than that, even outside the playoffs and before it reached our prime league.
 
What's an Instagram and why are you chicks following it?
 
Also the NBA being ahead of the NFL proves this metric to be even more useless

'Muricans. Always forgetting that there's more than one country on Earth, and that most of them don't quite care for NFL.

I think if it had the number of views as other sports, you would see those sponsors. But when you have 200k people buying a PPV, you're not getting them.
At one point on Sunday during the Masters this year, nearly 17 million people tuned in to watch golf. Throughout the broadcast it averaged nearly 13 million viewers. If the UFC had 1/4 of that, you'd see huge sponsors coming over. IMO.

You're a computer scientist are you? What do you do for a living that makes you superior to people in the south?
