Is Alistair Overeem consider as a big draw?

[wtkace**]

If he do become the new HW Champ, would his fight with Cain sell a lot?

I'm quite a hardcore MMA fans, I would say that this will be way more interesting than Alvarez vs Conor/ Khabib.

How about you guys opinion?

suckie suckie 5 dolla?

He's a little bit smaller of a draw then he used to be, but still bigger of a draw than when he started.

I think if he manages to win, he would be UFC's biggest sellout. He would even surpass McGregor in PPV because he is 10x the winner, 10x the Champion compared to him.

[TheGZA]

Never drew a dime.

 

[panzer723]

Miocic and Overeem are more marketable than Conor,and Conor's anthics are fading quickly.

I would say the fight with between Miocic and Overeem will generate Millions of Dollars and overtake any UFC events when it comes to PPV numbers.

If he's the new HW champ, more Euros will watch that's for sure.

 

[TheScorpionDude]

Absolutely. I dislike the dude, but he is a draw no doubt.

 

[MMAViewer]

Not for me. Never been super excited for his fights.
Don't know exactly why tbo...

He was a bigger draw right after smashing Lesnar. I think in terms of the HW division he's still a pretty big draw but nothing near Conor or anything.

Overeem is a hard guy to cheer for. A front running bully with a history of ped use. Maybe he could be the guy you love to hate, but he lacks that type of charisma. He is similar to Hector Lombard.

 

[Otto!]

I think that he is still marketable, but not a huge draw. This may change with a belt of course.

Based on what?

He has literally been KO`d more than 10x than Conor, I will give you that.

 

[Thepaintbucket]

Good draw for sure. A "big" draw is yet to be seen.

He's more of a draw than the other HW's. The division is a fucking wasteland.

 

[J85909266]

No. He's never been of much interest, to me. Not even when he was Ubereem.

 

[MegasAV1977]

Big fan so I am probably biased, but Overeem is a big name which was proven by how quickly UFC resigned him when his contract expired after the JDS fight, moreover his base pay is one of the highest around. But in terms of selling PPV he's not someone that's going to drive big sales, but the same can be said for everyone in company outside of 3 eople
