[Soul On Ice]

Sure...With the right card

 

[Sharkey]

Sure...With the right card

...and more importantly, the right seat pricing.

Sure...With the right card

...and more importantly, the right seat pricing.

...and just like that, a question is answered.

 

[ElCasca]

In Japan, Europe or Brazil yes

 

[dildos]

They 'sold out' Ethihad Stadium with the Ronda vs Holm fight. But that's not a 100k stadium. And it wasn't a max capacity sell out...

 

[Eli1015]

Conor vs Woodley.
Rousey vs Holme 2.
GSP vs Anderson Silva.
Jon Jones vs Stipe micioc.

Yes.

 

[Doog Doogson]

Croke Park 83,000 plus whatever you fit on a very large pitch. Put McGregor on the card and it would sell out in a few days.

 

[PutUpYourDux]

Only with Conor/Ronda.

 

[KONE]

Sure...With the right card

Conor McGregor vs Nate Diaz 3
Jon Jones vs Anthony Johnson/Daniel Cormier 2
Ronda Rousey vs Cyborg
Brock Lesnar vs Frank Mir 3
Mike Perry vs pretty much anyone

ez pz japanesey

 

[original doom]

Bring your Binoculars.

 

[HNIC215]

Of course they can... you already know this is inevitable.

 

[USAUSA1]

Rousey and Conor together yes but football stadiums are cheap pricing. They can make more money selling out msg with insane prices. It's not worth it.

 

[Megatronlee]

Have tickets start low and get a solid main event. Conor and Ronda and cm punk. And Brock

 

[trblesome1]

...and more importantly, the right seat pricing.

They would definitely have to knock the prices way down in hopes of selling more to make up for it

 

[Andy Anderson]

I don't understand why people pay to watch the screen

 

[Glove]

Biggest MMA event ever was held at Pride Shockwave 2002, 71,000 people attended.

 

[dipstickjimmy]

Conor vs Woodley.
Rousey vs Holme 2.
GSP vs Anderson Silva.
Jon Jones vs Stipe micioc.

Yes.

Not even close to the best card they could do.
Rousey beats Nunes then moves up to beat Holly to become the 2nd simultaneous 2 division champion. Jones comes back and wins the LHW title back from DC meanwhile Cain wins the HW title from Stipe.
and then it is
Conor vs Khabib for the LW title
Rousey vs Cyborg for the FW title
GSP vs Bisping for the MW title
LHW champion Jon Jones vs HW Champion Cain Velazquez for the HW title
Anderson vs Lyoto
Nick vs Nate

LOL

[Merman]

In Brazil with Aldo or Nog or Silva and guys like Vitor, Shogun, etc...on the card. Easily.
