Meltzer: #183 - Over 500k, but less than #182

[DGT4NOW]

Meltzer said on tonight's audio that early estimates are less than Jones/Cormier, but it will blow past the 450k estimates some has guessed

He said it is too early to get closer to a figure, but it did better than expected

 

[Pittie Petey]

But will it do more than ronda-zingano?
Shes the biggest star in the ufc ya know

So how much does Nick Diaz make if it's 500PPV buys? Does he get $3 per PPV buy?

Want to make sure he gets paid for that entertaining performance.

 

[ArtOfDrowning]

As we all said before this card, 500k is a realistic number.

Not too much hype around a freak fight that meant nothing

 

[yookfarb]

damn

honestly that's not very good

That seems a lot, but maybe
Certainly over $1m though

I think most would disagree
Not a lot projected it over 500k

I was hoping he'd get at least $1m for the PPV buys in addition to his $500k base.

Would prefer he get paid $2m total but $1.5 isn't bad.

The fact that Jose Aldo defended his title on the undercard of Edgar-Maynard III and got crushed 2-1 by this freakshow makes me want to cry. And that's with alleged needle-mover Chael Sonnen also on the undercard.

But what did 182 do tho?

 

[DGT4NOW]

But what did 182 do tho?

750-800k

But what did 182 do tho?

750-800K IIRC

I'm surprised. I thought it would do 350K tops. Didn't think people would buy two PPVs in a month.

 

[Black Joto]

500k ? :icon_lol:

Thanks guys. I thought 182 would do closer to a mil.

No prob man
I think most guesses had it 650-700k

 

[EmeliankoFan1]

750-800k

UFC 182 Jones vs Cormier ---- 800K

That's still a solid ppv. I just thought the hype would have pushed it to that million mark.

 

[DGT4NOW]

That's still a solid ppv. I just thought the hype would have pushed it to that million mark.

In a 12 month period where 4 PPVs did under 200k, 750 is the new million lol

That's still a solid ppv. I just thought the hype would have pushed it to that million mark.

The delay might have cost it some buys.

800k is a big win for the promotion still.
