Simple math for the math challenged Just bleed masses of this forum:
UFC 100 sold 1.6 with 2 superstars.
UFC 196 sold 1.5 with 1 superstar.
Therefore, pay Conor the price of 2 superstars. GSP made 5 mill per fight. Conor is 5 times as exciting and deserves to be paid 2 GSP's worth per fight.
Lesnar broke 1 million for the 2nd time by defending his belt 1 year after UFC 100. Conor broke 1 mill for 2nd time only 4 months later. Also Conor did 1.5 compared with Lesnar's 1.2 million.
 
Delusional, look it up, that's what all of you Conor fanboys and girls are today. Diaz was already a name that drew big numbers in PPVs the UFC just hadn't given Nate the chance to headline one yet. Holm was the star that beat Ronda and Tate was Ronda's arch enemy both had names that sold. It's never one person selling a fight, those fights don't sell. Conor wouldn't break 200,000 without a big name opponent and an undercard. That will never be proven though because he'll either come groveling back to the UFC who will give him a sellable opponent and under card or he'll never make a dime in MMA again, not as a fighter at least.
 
Lolololololol you think Nate had no role to play in those numbers.
 
Yeah cause it's not like 196 had any title fights, etc. Before the main event. Just Holly Holm, and Miesha Tate.

Conor huggers always seem to leave out relative information. Why is that ?
 
so diaz was suddenly a nobody and there wasn't another title on the line as co main?

conor has never been a headliner without a title as a co main for a ppv

What are you smoking, Nate diaz was already a big name that drew big numbers? Since when? Nick Diaz, the older brother was more popular but drew horrible numbers when he didn't get pair up with Gsp or Anderson Silva.

The only boost that help Conor in that event is Holly. I hate Conor but those numbers was mostly from people tuning in for Conor. Hes a bigger name than Gsp.

Those numbers wasn't mostly people tuning in for Conor. That fight needed Conor but I don't think Conor does the same numbers with Anthony Pettis but even Pettis is a star, he doesn't do much at all headlining against Rick Story or Bobby Green. They paid to see Conor and Nate followed by a great fight with two big names in Holm and Tate (that wasn't supposed to rhyme). The PPV wouldn't do much if those fights weren't preceded by fighters that Bellator would kill to have even though we see it as a weak card.
 
The Royal Wedding got lots of views too, and I'm sure virtually any A-list celebrity could beat Conor's numbers in a celebrity-boxing match. Does that mean we as MMA fans care?

Twats like to watch what all their twat friends are watching, regardless of what it is. We're here for MMA, and we'll still be here for MMA when you twats are gone.
 
Yea TS, the superstar was Nate and Conor did a serviceable job of servicing him

No one even give a shit about the former champ and it did 1.2. The only thing they know about him was that he was the champ. Beating him like Conor did increased that to 1.5. Nate or not, Conor would do the same.

No one gave a shit about the only FW champ ever? You're saying no one cared about Aldo? Delusional. People also knew Nate and what the UFC figured out at 196 is that Nate does move the needle bc the numbers went up drastically when he took RDA's place. Conor wouldn't do the same without a name next to him and a UFC caliber card under him. There's no proving that because Conor will never fight without those two things. If he does he will have already finished out his contract with the UFC and he will have to do that given the damage he has already done to his name. He's spoiled and so there's no proving this but a person should be able to understand these things by thinking it through.
 
There's no point man, the Conor haters are blinded by their deep burning disdain for him.

They'll just post crying gifs etc. they're retarded
 
I would have enjoyed seeing how Conor would do with a crappy undercard. After he beat siver all the ppv's had another title fight. Many people will say that the other title fight wasn't a draw. By itself perhaps not, but what people fail to realize is many fans (myself included) were on the fence whether to buy a Conor headlined card. Seeing another title fight however made my decision to purchase it. So even though the second fight may not be the draw, it was enough of a draw to make my decision to purchase the card.

Take Conor out of it and it does terrible. No matter what, how he is fighting and how great the card is. There is a lot of reasons of why I'm saying this.

If you put Robbie Lawler in his place for the WW belt against Nate it would do close to 1 million. There is no way to prove what you're saying or what I'm saying so this has become pointless but a big fight like the WW championship with Nate as the challenger, followed by the Women's BW title fight would do close to a million.

Sure, it would be great. But I doubt it would do that much. You just need to go back for not so long ago where they didn't had a single fighter who would make everyone watch him fight. We will know that though if Nate is still the main event, but I doubt he will. The only one that isn't Conor or Ronda who can do good is Jones but he also needs Cormier, still not close to what Conor brings.

Oh, you mean like UFC 195 Lawler v Condit, Miocic v Arlovski, Larkin v Tumenov, Brandao v Ortega and Trujillo v Sims? That one did just over 1 million buys.
 
Plenty of folks were also paying to see Nate in the most important fight of his career, so not just one star really.

After the Aldo win Conor has kind of grown on me and I respect and and admire the possibility of GSP and Conor leaving the sport because of the way it's managed (even if technically for different reasons). Hopefully good comes out of it but who knows...
