The card drew a respectable number relative to the competition(NHL/NBA playoffs). I see people arguing that since it was the lowest rated card ever that it didn't make any money. Numbers aren't binary, you fuckin' simpletons.
Are you actually arguing that MM is a draw? Lol. Cut the division and force him to move up. What can he do about it? He can't move to Bellator since they are not going to open an boring,unprofitable division for a boring, unprofitable product.
It's not really caring about whether they draw. But they take away card space from real(normal size) fighters, which fans can't ignore or skip.
Once, I mistook my 10 year old Nephew's schoolyard fight for a FlyW title eliminator.
No, I'm calling you simple in your understanding of profitability. You see a headline and assume that since it was the lowest rated, the company must've been the red for that event. There's a word in the dictionary that you seem to lack and it's called "nuance". Look it up.
You really are simple, aren't you? Not once did I mention that he was a draw, you just have a myopic, black and white view of how things work. A person doesn't have to be a draw in the same vein of veritable draws(e.g. Ronda, GSP)for him to be a positive net gain for the company.
He raked in less than any other cards the same time last few years, and My point stands - he can't draw. It's not just the last card but previous cards he headlined. That's a fact no matter how you spin it.
Wtf are you on about? My main point is that he doesn't draw, and yes, he may not actually "lose money" for the Org but it's definitely an opportunity cost. That in some definition IS losing money. Stop being so anal about the details and look at my main points about MM. he can't draw. He has a boring personality. He doesn't generate interest from the masses. No average size male is afraid of him. UFC Should cut FlyW cause merging it with BW creates a deeper division and a lot more compelling fights.
You do know that the UFC just made a new division that is even more barren than FLW, right? And this division is filled with fighters from 135. Why do you think that is?
Dude, I probably feel more strongly for the UFC to cut WMMA FW than FlyW but it only has a single fight so far so it's not worth talking about.
Put it simply, champions -- especially someone as dominant as DJ -- do a lot more for the company than they would otherwise.
I don't disagree. He's done lot but he can probably do a lot more if he moves up. Flyw is a dead division.
That was like TUF. It has been done to death. Maybe Anthony Johnson vs 3 Top FlyW would be interesting
Those top 10 flyweights take away card space from the 200th ranked welterweights who people give even less of a fuck about. You are just another goof complaining for the sake of complaining because you lack the knowledge to contribute to a meaningful discussion.
I could get seriously hurt by a 200th ranked welterweight. MM would need a ladder first. Not even kidding.
