The UFC, a private company owned by U.S. sports promotion firm Zuffa, broke the 1 million PPV-buy mark last December for the first time ever, according to analysts, on the strength of a match featuring Chuck Liddell vs. Tito Ortiz. One report said the company had a total gross PPV take of nearly $223 million in 2006, more than boxing or the WWE has ever earned. Some estimates place the value of the privately held company around $1 billion, although others think it is closer to $750 million.

So, now what?
At the very least, you cannot claim...well...just about anything that you've claimed in this thread so far.
Fringe sport? More likely you are on the fringe. You are certainly ignorant of that which you speak. And even if you don't know that, most of us here certainly do.
