They probably did over a million last Saturday with Nate attached to the card.

The crowd loved him.

Im not a fan of his attention grabbing antics. And neither are most people.

But it’s working.

Antics and Acting out gets you attention in entertainment and that gets you paid.

No one knows who Sakuraba is.

Few people know who Machida is.

Sakuraba was an excellent showman and was very marketable in Japan, no one knows pride fighters if they didn't also fight in the UFC, besides fedor that is..

Yes Adesanya is good at marketing himself, people these days are social-media brainwashed morons so they lap up the kind of shtick that Adesanya goes for.. he's a very 'right now' kind of guy.

Every single buy was for Nate

 

[EnthusiastCultivator]

He’s at the GSP and Jones level of PPV buys, where the buys are good but not quite the millions that Conor brings.

Take a trip to Japan and ask around who Sakuraba is

 

[Bend NvR Break]

in yen or dollars

In the end dollars. Saku was Japan's version of Stone Cold Steve Austin.

Saku did professional wrestling Japan. He just also actually fought in MMA fight too and was really good at it and beat good guys.

Japanese viewers watched both styles.

I forgot Saku did pro wrestling

wait, adesanya has a shtick?

 

[Blanqa Blanqua]

yes

and he tried to put it inside Costa’s bum

 

[dildos]

not sure what the go at saku is.

but didnt he just carry the olympic torch at some stage in japan for the olympics? thats pretty fucking huge since saku was there in mma from the mid 90s-2010s and wrestling on and off throughout (even having a wrestling match just last year!)

Let's first see what the numbers here are. Everyone knows his previous 2 were due to the Polish Drawing Power.
