[Blanqa Blanqua]

Any word?

I am wondering if Illia is a needle mover.

(yes, 'Toppy' is very annoying as a name, but that's what his fans seem to call him so I am trying to be nice)

PPV really isn't indicative of how much starpower a fighter has these days.

Streaming and on-demand-services have largely replaced PPV models in other countries and regions.

Add to it that this was a Abu Dhabi card, at Abu Dhabi time, catered to more international fans (who again don't use PPV as a buying model) and you'll most likely have low PPV numbers.

The draw of this card was Max and the return of Khamzat.

I actually understand all of that bro, but sadly have no way to get a metric on any of that, so am asking for the only one I can get

Would LOVE to get streaming number, and access to what other 'needles' the UFC analyses but cannot see them disclosing any of that data.

I feel you brother. Wish we could get those numbers but you're right, PPV is all there is.

Actually even PPV numbers aren't being released like they used to. I remember back in the day you'd get buyrates all the time. Nowadays they never appear anywhere.

Please read other response above lol

DOES ANYONE HAVE A FUCKING N"UM"BER????

But seriously.

I do get that too, but if I wrote all of the factors involved in the OP it would be a wall of text and I would get 'TLDNR' responses lol.

Instead I get everyone assuming I am a dolt lol

"Toppy" I just don't understand this world.

We need a new age FrankieNYC.


Isn't there some young guy that get all of this for us?


My 6 year old niece mocked me for my technological ineptitude recently - so it sure ain't gonna be me!


hmmmmm Maybe mods could give us stats on threads generated about said fighter in week of PPV, and amount of posts in PBP thread?

Me either bro but you gotta roll with it

This cheered me up more than you can imagine.

I don't think those stats get released since the ESPN deal, the system is different now. But looking at social media stats and engagement on different content related to the event on various channels is a good way to gauge which fighters the people are paying attention to.

I should ask AI, not joking. Wifey is away until tomorrow so if no one has done so by then, I'll get her to help me ask AI about some of this, then post up the results. (Maybe it can quantify some of that suff)

Who knows, maybe I CAN become the next Frankie (with the help of AI and my wife)

I'd like to give him a power slap

RELEASE THE DATA DANA!!!!!!

I feel like we havent seen ppv buys in a while. Anyone know what ufc 300 did?

 

[Dr Fong]

We only ever got consistent buys from Dave Meltzer, who had contacts with the old PPV providers, not U Fight Cheap itself.

His numbers used to get mocked themselves until the court documents proved they were legit all along.

Since ESPN came to town, we usually don't know shit. And it really doesn't matter to anyone except for ESPN, including the UFC who make their money regardless.

MMA media and its fans are stuck in a 'PPV draw' mentality that hasn't had much relevance for many years.

Honestly, probably not great given the early Saturday afternoon timing during peak college football season.
