[CM Punk]

Yeah, Levesque seriously doesn't know what he's talking about.

He does have a point if you look closely at what he says. UFC does have a limited life as the top sport it's no coincidence that the top draw was Brock Lesnar. He offered more controversy then anyone else to hit the sport besides from Sonnen when he flipped off the crowd and made his coors lite rant. You can't rely soley on fighting to maintain the masses. The same thing has happened to boxing out of Mayweather and Manny there aren't many fights which capture the interest enough to draw well. Plus UFC has evolved from his roots greatly to become more polished for TV and they need to continue to do so as the buy rates will fall eventually.

I know nothing about the UFC really, do the PPV buy numbers out do WWE? If so; on a regular basis?

He did make a hell of a lot of money. I'm expecting their numbers to drop greatly know he's retired.

At 1:30, CM Punks opinion on the remarks.

 

[Crayo]

Agree with everything Punk said. See how much potential the Punk story-line had? Then it turned into HHH's RAW.
