UFC 229 sells out in 180 seconds. New UFC live gate record @ $30 Million

[Arcturus]

Most anticipated UFC fight ever... I only hope it lasts more than 1 round.

If Conor wins, I hope Nick Diaz walks in the cage immediately after and challenges him.

 

[HI SCOTT NEWMAN]

I wonder how many buys it will get and if it can break the 2 million mark

We are in an age where fans are more interested in sales than the actual prowess of fighting.

I'm the last MMA fan on Sherdog.

Why is it either or? Why can’t you be fascinated by both, the art and the business? I don anderstan dis, dis is namber one bulshit.

Add to that that the rest of the card looks way below average.

There is not much to look forward to other than the main event.

Well, them being sold on a site by resellers isn’t the same as the event selling out through official channels.

It’s a shame reselling has become a proper industry. I bought tickets for a show recently on Ticketmaster, they were presale tickets, and in the confirmation email there was a link for immediately putting them up for resale. It’s bullshit.

Fans of every sport talk about every aspect of sport, finance is just one of them.

You're only pissy about it coz it involves Conor and he gets your little baldy bean bag inflammed.

 

[YellowBanenoo]

I hear the a majority of sales are due to scrappers trying to resell the tickets for a higher price.

 

[Mondo Freaks]

We back

They will have all been back doored to the stupid resale sites to be sold on at 2-3x face value (with kick backs to the UFC brass ofcourse)

Look up the Haast's Eagle bro.

This motherfucker will give a gorilla a run for its money for sure.

Argentavis magnificens — was an absolutely enormous species of flying bird which lived in Argentina during the late Miocene, about six million years ago. As of now, it’s the largest species of flying bird ever discovered. It’s worth noting that the species could very well have had a much larger range than is currently known. It’s also worth mentioning that a very closely related species — also gigantic — lived until very recently along the west coast of North America, and no doubt had interactions with the people that lived there at the time.

AXS is one of the official partners of the T-Mobile Arena in Vegas. So they offered the tickets for face value. They had tickets in the lower tier and on the floor. Prices started at 2.000 $

No, it was a link saying “want to resell your tickets! Do it now via Ticketmastersomething!” They have an official marketplace for it now, as I guess they figured they could make their fees over and over again off the same number of tickets.
