I'd love to see it just to shut cacs up. Plus Jones is a huge Silva fan so you know he'd whoop that ass with a sense of vengeance.

Zuffa can't even build Weidman at this point. Just doesn't work on a lot of levels.
yeah ufc's marketing dept just dont have that midas touch no more. I mean caucasian, clean cut, using the tried/tested patriot gimmick, beating machida and having 2 recorded victories over anderson yet hes still listless by in large. Will wait to see how many buys 175 did before i pass any more judgement

I'm hearing around 350-400, but rampage already said the UFC lies about the numbers, they tell the fighters one thing and the press another

The UFC/Zuffa does not release PPV numbers, the numbers you hear are from outside sources. And the estimate for UFC 175 is 340-450k and is based on searches, which can be a bit inaccurate.

if those numbers are true hes basically hitting the ppv average for ufc, those recorded victories on anderson/having a name dancing partner in machida hasnt given him any sort of rub

this is what a guy who managers fighters told me, what you talking about searches, I don't know anything about tha

UFC doesn't open their books but they do report numbers to press, rampage already exposed this

Based on Google searches, I believe.

ZUFFA historically keeps its pay-per-view buys close to the vest and rarely -- if ever -- releases them to the public. One of the few exceptions was UFC 100, which at the time had approached the 1.5 million mark

since you like posting articles from the site

UFC has always reported numbers to the press they just never open the books somebody knows the real numbers

No, the UFC very rarely releases PPV numbers.

how the fukk would google searches estimate PPVs that is the stupidest shyt I've ever heard

Using Google searches, they create a rough estimate of how many PPVs were sold.

l the fukk do google searches estimate pay per view buys thought thats what I don' get

if anything those google searches are people looking for the streams

if they were a million google searches then I can see that being 350,000 buy estimate, the numbers are way too close to even make any sense

besides google searches is a terrible way to gauge don't know why they do that

The PPV numbers you mentioned earlier (350-400) came from this source.

He's a TV executive making a rough estimate (based on Google searches), it's the best we can get this early after a PPV.

I'm guessing they have some baseline they are using to calculate it. It's not highly accurate but might have a plausible methodology.
