the number of international events are being decreased and focus will be more towards domestic event

There goes world fucking domination 2013-2016

Wow UFC is clearly racist toward other countries

 

[BRASIL WAND]

Good good.


More events for us. Such a shame that an MMA hotbed like South Florida RARELY sees UFC events BUT you have cities in random countries getting events.


Wanna see events? Come to the US.

They are racist towards less money

So not worthwhile doing shows in Europe, Asia?

#racist #xenophobic #buzzwords

for real though, smart move

 

[Vikassi]

Sort by attendance, the top 11 are non-US.

Racist against investing more money in markets they aren't going to get a quick enough return on maybe. These guys just dropped $4billion, they need to recoup some cash ASAP!!

I wonder when we will feel the squeeze.

What about costs of doing business there? Can't just look at attendance. What about gate revenue?

 

[Jehannum]

look how quick they are trying to make Conor events ... I expect a similar template to be applied to other stars they choose, on a smaller scale of course.

bet Vegas gets the bulk of the additional events, because if they cut back on overall events, they are gonna need to trim down their roster significantly. Will "domestic" also mean Brazil and Canada in this scenario I wonder.

Only a matter of time until another PPV price raise.

 

[Not A Real Fan]

US, Brazil, Canada, and Britain.

Is there any other country that is a real hotbed for MMA? Even Canada and Britain are distant 3rd and 4th.

Maybe Australia?

Shows you how non-international MMA truly is. But that is not a bad thing. Baseball is only really popular in as many countries. Hand-egg even less.

 

[nostradumbass]

Sexist and homophobic, overall deplorable.

My God I hope not, $60 is already way too expensive. Its ok if they have a PPV a few times a year, but they have PPV every month and sometimes twice a month, its a rip-off. I think $35 is fair considering. If they put the price up I won't be purchasing again, already think its too much.

Which is true?

Which is true?

Do you remember, at the time of acquisition Dana said that current employees should not be worried because of this ? Did you see, how things turned around for them?

High time to broaden the horizons....

In other words, MMA's international popularity it's probably dwindling. I'm not shocked though, some of these cards outside of the US are terrible
