How many PPV's does 198 do? (Poll)

[FrankieNYC]

Tough card to guess.
It is solid, but no real PPV draw on it.
Most are Brazilian stars where the event is on TV>

 

[gspieler]

Obligatory...tree fiddy.

 

[AceCooch]

I went with 5-600k

Its really hard to say, I think because its heavyweight (high weight classes generally sell better) and a lot of big names in Brazil, it will due modestly well.

I'll be shocked if it is below 300k or above 800k. So yeah, I'm guessing 5-600k

 

[Arm Barbarian]

4-500k

 

[Evangelion]

400-500, could see it doing anywhere from 350-650 tho

HW has not sold well since Brock though.
Werdum is not a PPV draw (yet)

I thought 350-400 with Anderson, so I went with 300-400k.
II cannot see it doing over 500k, but fuggin A if it does.

 

[BennyOcean]

Over 9000

Velasquez vs JDS did 590k, but his fights with bigfoot and the 3rd JDS fight sold below 400k because the previous fights were lopsided and no one really thought Cain could lose.

I think Velasquez Vs Werdum sold poorly because the card was meh, Cain was on the shelf forever, and I don't believe UFC did a good job of introducing Werdum to people who didn't already know him..

Could be wrong tho, I'm just speculating

 

[Thuckey]

I'm feeling optimistic, and will say 600k just for the shear solidness of the card , even prelims are stacked that's usually a good sign.

 

[HI SCOTT NEWMAN]

800-850K, great card.

When Cain/JDS 2 did that amount, the average PPV was a lot higher than now.
Now it is huge Conor & RR numbers & 200-350 other cards.
But you are correct that it did well.

 

[FrankieNYC]

800-850K, great card.

Really?
I think they will be happy with half of that

Actually with Silva off it will hurt it a little.. so I will put it down to about 700K. its one of the best cards they have done.

 

[MachidaNo1Fan]

I honestly don't feel that excited or think the card is that good anymore. Losing Anderson in Curitiba was huge.

But no draw to the US PPV market.
Hardcore will buy it, but what casual cares about Werdum?

 

[AceCooch]

800-850K, great card.

Nah, even if Anderson stayed on I HIGHLY doubt it would sell above 800k, (That would be cool) but as I said earlier, anything above 800k would shock me.

With Anderson gone, above 600k would be a pretty big accomplishment.

I hadn't thought of that, but that makes sense. I guess my 500ish number may have been an overestimation.

Funny to think that 590k was an "OK" PPV number as recent as a few years ago.
Now PPV is top heavy.

 

[Tormund]

Anybody voting over 400k is delusional, this is a hardcore card there isn't a single PPV draw on the whole thing, they'll be lucky to do 400k.

It's a great card for die hard fans, but we only account for 150k buys. Hell, I'm not even buying it. Stream City.
