MMA is far too violent for most casual viewers. I have known grown "men" who were literally disgusted by the violence and occasional gore of MMA. That is not even approaching the sensibilities of overly fearful and cautious mothers who see it as a danger to their kids via disensitization or potential reenactment.
That in itself severely limits the audience therefore potential monetization of the sport and subsequent merchandise as a whole.
The niche nature of MMA makes it more akin to a spectacle like Battlebots or Tough Man as opposed to a legitimate sporting organization to most people.
