Guess Bellator's total PPV buys

[Based God]

It's probably gonna do between 20k-40k

My guess is between 200,000-300,000 based on:

50-100k bellator fans
50k rampage fans
50k tito fans
50k curious ufc and general mma fans

I got a personal interest in it being under 250,000.

Looking to call out some predictions that were made before Alvarez was dropped?

 

[BIKES!]

You realize if bellator got 125k for this card it would actually be amazing for them. UFC 161 was reported at 140k, there is no way in hell this comes anywhere near that.


Affliction was getting around 100k with a roster of top HWs in the world during a time when MMA was at it's peak in North America.

Not too mention a huge portion of the UFC buys are restaraunts and bars.

Bellator actually worked with the same people that do HBO and Showtime boxing PPVs for this, and that company works heavily with bars nation wide.... I expect the bars to have a higher percentage of UFC conversions than your typical at-home PPV purchase...

That said, I could be wrong and Affliction could have worked with the same people when they did their PPV, but I do not believe they did.

The card had very little promise after Alvarez dropped out. I bought it pretty much just to support Bellator as a small challenge the UFC's monopoly on MMA. I doubt very many people had a similar inclination. 60-70k buys probably.

anything over 50 k is decent

50 - 100K trannies and then some

So I think at least 400 - 500, 000 buyers

 

[FrodoFraggins]

55k

 

[jjresq]

i wouldnt be surprised if it did 200k

Tito is still a name to casual fans.

I'm guessing 65-70k.
