what does it mean by surpassed? Is it saying UFC has all round beaten HBO or that it beat HBO in one PPV event, or in one year?

They did more PPV buys in the year. HBO's biggest event surpassed UFC's biggest event, but the UFC sold more overall. It would be unfair to simply look at their largest events, since UFC has a successful PPV every month.

UFC surpassed HBO?
"matched the once-dominant World Wrestling Entertainment Inc. in pay-per-view revenues during 2006 and surpassed boxing titan HBO"
what does it mean by surpassed? Is it saying UFC has all round beaten HBO or that it beat HBO in one PPV event, or in one year? Correct me if I'm wrong but wasn't the highest boxing event over 2 million buys and the highest UFC event something like 1.5 million? In what way has it surpassed HBO? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.46.102.210 (talk) 22:53, 29 March 2010 (UTC)
They did more PPV buys in the year. HBO's biggest event surpassed UFC's biggest event, but the UFC sold more overall. It would be unfair to simply look at their largest events, since UFC has a successful PPV every month. HBO's record year for revenue was around 255 million, while the UFC in 2010 did an estimated 450 million. 80.45.152.173 (talk) 15:56, 5 March 2011 (UTC)
revert
sorry i reverted just now, didn't realize what i was doing. i was reverting all of User:Pokemon's vandalism and i didn't see that his last edit on this page was in May before i reverted it. sorry for the confusion.--Alhutch 23:49, 6 December 2005
PPV Wars
I have removed this poorly written section that was recently added. A whole section based on the competition between two wrestling promotions does not really belong in an encyclopedia article about pay-per-view itself. To the best of my knowledge there was only one ever real "PPV war", in 1987 when Starrcade and Survivor Series were on the same day. The content removed is covered elsewhere, such as Monday Night Wars. One Night In Hackney 02:19, 30 January 2007 (UTC)
Top page ad
The top page has an issue. It says a fake claim about free PPV's.
New sectioning
I've resectioned to reflect PPV in US, vrs Europe and Australia. History sections merged--Work permit (talk) 00:43, 10 June 2009 (UTC)
