At what level?
I’m inclined to say that in North America, based on a few different factors, MMA is generally more popular. Part of it is the “fad” aspect; it’s new and people want to see what all the buzz is about. I also think the dynamic fighting, which includes punches, kicks, takedowns, ground grappling, and submissions, is a bit more appealing than the comparatively one-dimensional boxing, which is punches only. Certainly the fighters in MMA are more distinct.

On December 10, 2008, HBO announced that the fight generated 1.25 million PPV buys totaling more than $70 million in PPV revenue. This fight is only the fourth non-heavyweight bout to have more than one million buys, along with De La Hoya-Mayweather Jr. (2.4 million buys) in May 2007, De La Hoya-Hopkins (1 million buys) in 2004, and De La Hoya-Trinidad (1.4 million buys) in 1999.
