Boston on the same night as the AFC Championship?

[peepshow]

They've already sold most tickets and are expecting a sellout.

Plus Fox will be able to push the card in front of 60 million viewers watching NFC title game.

main card starts after both games are over.

Boston is an Irish city, McGregor is Irish and has best chance to sell tickets.

This isnt hard to understand.

tom brady is irish american.

lets hope sunday is a good day for thy' irish

Except the Pats game is on CBS so why would they help promote their rivals programming. They will have advertisements on during Seahawks game but that's early and people will forget. Also most people aren't going to watch any more sports after 6+ hours of football. I'm personally happy because I stay up late and glad I can watch fight after the game.

Isn't the NFL before the UFC? If they are the same time it's ridiculously stupid out of the UFC.

At a guess, maybe they are hoping the football influences T.V ratings. Are they fighting after the game?

If so, maybe they're hoping for a big carry over audience to bump the digits and gain new fans.
