Could UFC 202 do poor PPV's number?

[Rittsy]

This pointless cash grab looks even sillier with the olympics going on.

Athletes proving that they are the best for the sake of competition is inspiring and compelling.

Fighters being considered great because they can talk a good game and create a false air of invincibility really looks childish in comparison.

May the best fighter win.

And since it's obvious that it's Diaz, fuck this bullshit, and give me a legitimate title defense.

UFC 201. UFC 203.

You say the card sucks,yet you call others casuals.

well, i don't know ts, but all the other conor cards if i remember had a title shot on them ... so this will be his first without a title on the line

i know, just because there are no title fights, doesn't make it a crappy card

 

[Sonny Qc]

It's cool man just thought for a second that the fight was scrapped

Haha. please no!
Can't wait for that one

 

[PreDaToRTacTiCs]

They'll sell a lot of wolf tickets.

 

[Haj01]

Alot of my "casual" buddies who are not into the UFC are gonna be watching this one. This one is big! Conor's popularity is huge right now. If he were to lose that could all change. But as of now he is still a star.

True,I expected them to put a title fight in there but the card is pretty damn solid. Cerrone/Story, Rumble/Glover, Means/Homasi, Garbrandt/Mizugaki, Magny/Larkin ..

well if you remove the top 3 fight, the only one that i'm intreseted about is Garbrandt Vs Mizugaki...

the card was so much better with Maia Vs Condit
and
Magny Vs DHK...

edit: Magny Vs larkin is a fun fight I guess..

You can't have every single fight to be amazing,this ain't UFC 194

the fuck u talking bout? The McGregor weight belt is on the line! This ones for all the marbles!

 

[Jblizzle]

Most casuals only buy the card for one fight, maybe two.

 

[The Natural Born Runner]

Report tell there's a lot of seats still available.
The Co-Main is great but the rest of the card kinda suck tbh.
(well Cerrone always give a great show, not sure why he fight Story tho.)

Is Conor Vs Nate 2 enough for the "casual" to tune in?


Hyun Gyu Lim vs. Mike Perry
Tim Means vs. Sabah Homasi
Cody Garbrandt vs. Takeya Mizugaki
Raquel Pennington vs. Elizabeth Phillips
Artem Lobov vs. Chris Avila
Randa Markos vs. Cortney Casey
Neil Magny vs. Lorenz Larkin
Colby Covington vs. Max Griffin
Alberto Uda vs. Marvin Vettori

This is shocking.

All blue areas are still available, with only 10 days remaining!

I agree with this, casuals don't give a fck about the others fights, they don't watch the 6/7 hours event
Same happens in boxing, one fight sells everything

 

[Zangief HW GOAT]

I think it'll do well.
However, i do wish they kept Maia and Condit in that card - that would make the main card awesome instead of "ok"

UFC 200 looked exactly the same. Ticket prices are very high. The arena is a 20,000 seater. UFC 196 was in a smaller arena but didn't sell out. 194 did a higher gate, but lower PPV numbers.

Extended Preview views...

UFC 202: 1,833,891 views
UFC 201: 405,391 views
UFC 199: 405,171 views
UFC 198: 341,100 views
UFC 197: 411,045 views
UFC 196: 1,633,751 views

What was 200??

 

[Rubberchin]

What was 200??

Doesn't seem to be up anymore. The Jones situation probably led to it being taken down.

 

[JoshR86]

I think so, yes.

Only way Nate would lose is if he tanked for trilogy money.

Almost fight week, everybody getting their excuses ready

 

[surgeyou1]

No chance it does less than a million. Conor shadowboxing for 15 minutes alone in the cage would do at least 750k.

 

[Rubberchin]

UFC 195: 125,677 views (Dunno why so low. PPV numbers were estimated 300K)
UFC 194: 1,924,037 views
UFC 193: 478,625 views (Surprising)
UFC 192: 457,629 views
UFC 191: 232,773 views
UFC 190: 1,676,875 views

The Extended Preview show views tend to be a good indicator of how much interest there is in PPVs and Diaz/McGregor II having 1.8 million views in the space of 12 days is incredible.

For the sake of competition? You do know that Phelps makes $12 million per year in endorsements and Simone Biles makes over $3 million, right? Phelps out earns the best UFC fighter(s) in the world.
