Ok...at the ppv that had 97,000 seats filled, how many ppv buys did they have? Which show had greater profits. Also, bringing up the Matt Hughes comment is assinine since the 170 pound division in UFC has been around far longer than the 185 or 160 divisions in PRIDE. Basically PRIDE is bigger, but with the exception of HW no PRIDE weight class is that dominant if at all over its UFC coutnerpart.

HW - PRIDE
LHW - PRIDE
MW - TIE
WW - UFC by default and even if PRIDE put a division together it would get scorched. This is one of the deepest talent pools in any org at any weight class.
LW - PRIDE but UFC is coming on strong and since PRIDE has a lot of top fighters who are not exclusive to PRIDE and fight maybe once or twice a year, I am not sure (Hansen and Kwajeri only fight on occasion for PRIDE)

Further, UFC has shown exponential growth over the last 2 years which PRIDE has not. The gap is closing between the two.

The funny thing is most trolls come on here praising the UFC and TUF fighters to incredible degrees trying to get people pissed off at it and upstart riots that way, this one is different in the fact that he's obviously a troll and is trying to get people pissed off at PRIDE instead.

The good thing about these trolling threads is to see what regular posters are outted as being ignorant and biased and showing you that their opinions deserve to be discarded(On ignore list) by actually agreeing with such ignorance.

So.. thanks to the thread starter for giving the truly ignorant PRIDEkidz a forum to display their voice to help sort them out for me, and thanks to Cymen for falling for it.
