I'm far too lazy to actually calculate the average, but eyeballing it I think it's fair to say of all the listed events, that 300,000 is a fair estimation (and probably still on the lower end).

I'm willing to take the bet. Are YOU??

It's a little over 497,000 each.

Still, Mr. Bombers, the number you seemed to agree to was 250,000. I'm willing to accept that bet if you are.
 
PPV business in general is in the toilet. It's a sad day when GSP only does 630k buys. GSP/Diaz did 900k but that was highly anticipated, highly marketed and 2+ years in the making. GSP vs Hendricks wasnt badly promoted and did poorly.

450k average for the 20 events you listed.
 
I hope Bellator sells a ton cause quite honestly, UFC needs a good competitor. They're starting to water down their cards and charging fans more than ever for their product. Only with healthy competition can the product improve and price decrease.
 
Battery on my phone is about to die. Chat with u guys in a few hours after i get home
 
Wow the TROLLS are out strong today.

It's ok to like Bellator and enjoy it...but Jesus Christ lets live in reality. This PPV would have to be considered a success with anything over 50K. That is a realistic expectation of success on this card. If Eddie was still on it I'd say 70K. IMHO I think this PPV will do around 35K-40K. Buys will take a major hit from streaming sites.
 
If they do anywhere close to 100k then its a success. If they do 200k, they knocked it out of the park.
