Why is Dana overly complimentary of Amanda Nunes despite her complete inability to sell PPV?

[Johnnny]

Dana usually goes out of his way to trash champs that are PPV poison. Often actively rooting for them to lose. Amanda Nunes is the epitome of an anti-draw. She holds the record for the 3 lowest selling PPV's since 2005.

UFC 215: Nunes vs Shevchenko - 100,000 buys
UFC 224: Nunes vs Pennington - 85,000 buys
UFC 250: Nunes vs Spencer - 85,000 buys

Yet, Dana has been constantly gushing over her.

Does he really think he can turn this into a draw?

 

[Blayt7hh]

I dunno but why are you going to complain about him hyping a fighter that deserves it?

Maybe he’s a big fan

 

[Patman]

Because she’s probably under paid.

 

[Eiffel-sixtyFight]

I wouldn't want to see her angry either!

 

[sdpdude9]

Because she’s clearly the best and doesn’t seem to be losing the title anytime soon. Makes sense to try to promote what you have when they’re not going anywhere.

 

[Herwald]

He's stuck with her, since she's so much better then anyone else, so may as well just promote her. Also this:

Because she’s probably under paid.

She beat Cyborg.
The one that Dana hated.
nothing else matters. She beat Cyborg.

When you go against opponents like pennington and Spencer, you're not going to draw much at all

 

[PurpleStorm]

Some things aren't just about the draw.
She's amongst the most electrifying wmma fighters to ever compete.
She also has a generous & warm personality.

She gets paid well too for someone that's not a draw. 500,000 a fight for the purse

Who knows how much she really brings home at the end of the day.

My guess, it's not for the lack of trying and there are no better wmma fighters than her to market right now. She knocks motherfuckers out or mauls them.

 

[Luthien]

Dana loves her for driving Cyborg away

 

[Post 2 Decision]

Because dominant champions are good for business and he knows none of the trashcans in her weightclasses can beat her

 

[Berkowitz]

U asked for it.

Maybe the Mickey Mouse overlord is pulling on Dana's strings...

Ronda was drawing with bethe

 

[Yagadot]

That ass picture might give some poor Sherdoggers post traumatic stress from their time in the showers whilst locked away in San Quentin prison.

 

[Pharenheit]

Good PR

 

[dipstickjimmy]

Not every market is a PPV market. Last I heard Brazil was a big TV deal for them but they don't have UFC on PPV. Similar to the UK where every fight is on Sky TV or some channel like that.

 

[podsox]

she’s fighting this week on ppv
