^ @LinusCaldwell gonna check those out when I get a chance tomorrow or this weekend breh.

So I stumbled upon the results piece for M-1 Challenge 60, saw the article picture and was like, "What the fukk? Why do they have armor on?" Lo and behold, M-1 Global is putting on fukking knight fights brehs.

It's crazy how the most stacked card of the year with two title fights (UFC 187) did only 350k buys.

Casuals (the bulk of everything) only care about celebrities and blood, they don't care about skill. That's why Floyd sucks ass

Yup all about the casuals, and the UFC marketing tour. I'm an mma fan, and really I have seen little to no marketing ads, posters, or commercials for mighty mouse's fight. While for Ronda and Connor you couldn't miss it.

Meltzer is saying UFC 189 buys are in the 800-850k range. Early predictions for UFC 190 have it topping 189.

Those are very good numbers for both cards. Especially considering Aldo had to pull out and the 190 card was hot garbage.

I wonder how much they spent on marketing for 189?

 

[blackestofpanthers]

189 and 190 both doing over 800K buys thats fukking huge for ufc. if only mighty mouse could do those numbers. 191 bout to have a drop off though

I need proof of those numbers.

 

[The Infamous]

I need proof of those numbers.

No concrete proof, just estimates.

In this week's edition of The Wrestling Observer Newsletter (subscription required), Dave Meltzer reports that estimates for UFC 189 are now in the 800,000-850,000 buy range. It's a slight drop from the 950,000-1 million range that had been at the high end of estimates.

Pay-per-view buy estimates for UFC 189 in around 800K-850K, UFC 190 trending even higher

 

[Big Boss]

Go to 7:15

 

[The ADD]

Go to 7:15

Two things:

Let's remember that he said he would fight Fedor if he came down to 205.

Cyborg fighting for the title at 135 for the first time plays perfectly into Honda's hands. No way that happens on 12/5.

 

[LinusCaldwell]

ronda is not gonna get cyborg at 135. She is trying to get cyborg to go into the weigh ins like

When we interviewed King Mo he said he didn't see it happening. Cyborg trains/hangs out near me. I keep missing her though.

It's not going to happen under any circumstances that will lead her to winning. If she doesn't clip Honda n the first 2:30 then forget it.

Never mind the fact from PPV stand point they can't take the risk of promoting this for 12/5 and she can't make it.

Physically for her and business wise for Zuffa it isn't there for 12/5.

 

[The G.O.D II]

Cyborg can make 135. She needs to do what Cormier did and diet down. She has the best nutritionist outside dolce with her. She just refuses to get serious. She likes being 160 in the cage against blown up flyweights. That's her thing. To have a massive size advantage over her opponents. Why is this never discussed?
