The guam based MMA organisation Pacific X-Treme Combat (PXC) have just released some impressive figures that demonstrate just how much MMA is growing in the Philippines.
Yes that is Big John!
Since the first Philippine PXC show (PXC 24) when they SOLD 700 tickets to the recent PXC 34 event which was held at the SMART Araneta Coliseum had 3,779 tickets SOLD.
A look at the shows between these two show a steady impressive climb in the numbers show on show. The total growth of tickets sales in just a year and a half is something north of 400% an incredible growth.
They of course also are shown on TV in the Philippines on AKTV. The first show the numbers were 187,603 viewers just eighteen months later at the last show (PXC 34) the number was already an amazing 667,218. Something like 250% growth.
Of course it should not be forgotten that the last show (PXC 34) was also available on a stream outside of the Philippines on Sherdog.com. This would have helped further with the worldwide recognition of the brand as of course would the fact that at the recent UFC event in Macau PXC veteren Jon Tuck made a winning debut.
Iam glad all the fighters here are not pussies unlike in One FC where they have fighters with chins made from China
