Payout Perspective:

The ratings are off from UFC on ESPN 34 and served as a lead-in to Top Rank Boxing which did better than the UFC.  An interesting dip in ratings considering that it usually draws much better than boxing when the both are on the same night.  Of course, those nights usually occur the same night as a PPV.
