[Sonny Qc]

Over 2 mil.



205 is fookin stacked.

 

[Threetrees]

I'm guessing the 1.2-1.3 mil range - I mistakenly voted 1.5.

Eddie is not Nate
Thompson is allergic to self promotion
Anyone who is going to watch Joanna/Karolina is already going to watch Conor so I doubt it gets a bump from that.
I don't think it outsells 202.

 

[ortizgnp]

1.6 - 1.7 but Meltzer gonna say 1.9

 

[phunky]

I have feeling it is going to be 2mil because its stacked and Colin is main fight

 

[HIMBOB]

It sucks that we now seem to spend more time counting other peoples money and pay packets then comparing their skill as fighters,


Either the UFC has a lot more shareholders than I thought or I am missing something.

PPV numbers have been talking about for a long gone time around here. If you missed it. Well it's long gone.

M.Tate (18-6) vs. R.Pennington (8-5) looks to be on the PPV, not prelims

it is too early to guess now
There is a long way to go hype wise

 

[HelpYouFall]

Plenty and then some.

 

[Rivait_15]

Deserves to do over 2 but I'll say 1.7

I hope after 204 they promote the hell out of it. 202 was getting no hype from casuals around here in Canada until the bottle fight.

I never understand why people enter threads (& post) when they clearly don't care about the topic

 

[mattandbenny]

Why do you always get some people moan about these threads? There's hundreds of threads created each day, so what if 1 of them isn't about actual fights. Lots of people are interested in how many buys each event gets.

Its always been a topic of conversation sure.

But lately it has become THE topic of conversation.


I want to see Conor fight Aldo, its the best fight and its due.
I don't want to see some apparent "Super" fight between two defenceless champs no matter how much money anyone but me makes.

 

[Thc Sargon]

This is one of the best cards in MMA history, it is stacked. I might have to purchase this, this is going to be a rumble

Plus it is a HUGE part about matchmaking.
