Will it be bigger than the bandy final?
If they put a major event on in Sweden like this, they need to either try and sell out a stadium in the middle of the night so the PPV time in North America doesn't change, or they start the show at the normal 6pm-7pm local time in Sweden, and the event airs at some weird time in North America.
No joke, I'd seriously consider flying to Sweden and buying an overpriced ticket to this fight if it was held at that arena for that fight.
Jones wouldn't accept it.
They did it repeatedly with GSP, but that wasn't an issue because there's only a few hour time difference from Vegas or LA, etc. When he re-won his title over Serra 5 of his last 10 fights were in Canada counting the Serra fight.
GSP had a lot to do with making MMA in Canada huge, but there was no risk involved to the UFC due to timeshift.

Obviously more risk involved in that situation, but they were able to get some pretty huge gate numbers by having GSP fighting in home soil. Not only were events selling out, but tickets weren't cheap.
Why is that?
Because the fight would be quality, I've always want to go to Sweden, and I got a raise recently. Plus I'm in the fight business so I'll find a way to write off some of the expenses for sure. Not having kids also frees up a lot of capital and time, you know :icon_lol:
we need this.
im not a swede, but Gus fans need to give their chi power to gus via 40,000 hot blond swedish women.
i'm going to go do some pushups
