Sherdog's 3 most hated UFC Middleweights are important for UFC's bottom line

[mmacasualviewer]

The Jones highlights are to compare with , because he's the only comparable or bigger draw.

Jones & Cormier don't do much better than Bisping or Weidman.

Bisping has been hyping a Diaz vs Silva fight.

Most of the people here don't buy PPVs so their opinion is irrelevant.
I've never bought a UFC PPV but I've seen them all.

 

[Phronimos]

I don't know who these hated middleweights are.
I don't hate any middleweights.
Who does everyone hate?

 

[thobra]

Difficult to measure when we don't see the rest of the card, but fighters like Anderson, Conor And Bisping can pull a big crowd, even if the rest of the card is shit/ the ppv is delayd in different timezones, And even if there is not more than a couple of weeks marketing for their fight. This is also the reason why Dana say they can sell out stadiums with out the support of other fighters And the reason they Are the three highest paid fighters in ufc history.

Same, but mainly because the PPVs start at 3am at my time. If they had a PPV at 8.00pm I'd consider buying it online and watching it with some homies. But I when I am watching a delayed tape I am gonna pirate and not pay for it.

GSP is the 3rd most hated MW after Weidman & Bisping.

 

[mmacasualviewer]

The Sherdog-goats Whitaker & Yoel did 130,000 buys.

Yeah and these are the same fans who moan and complain about fighter pay and talk about PPV buys when they contribute to neither.

Your color coding sucks balls.

 

[UFC=Pride]

I don't watch ppv's just on the main event alone there needs to be a strong card and that's probably what most people do.

If you're in a time zone where the main card kicks off at 3am you can't get away with the term "homies".........you know this to be true
