In countries which actually have PPV. T.V audience is in the millions.
 
I'm expecting a huge PPV turnout...at least the biggest in a year or so....

Damn that Rampage vs Evans. I think that was the turning point where people started hating on Rashad. All the hype leading up to that fight people were expecting a war. Instead they got Rashad dry humping Rampage for 15 minutes. I know I stopped buying into any type of "beef" after that ppv and I became a lot more careful about which ppvs I purchase.
 
600k to 800k i would be extremely surprised if this fight do under 600k.... this fight is just to F awesome
 
625,000 if they're lucky.....People aren't buying like they used too....

A high quality stream is not easy. They are always lower quality and they go in and out.
Most of them are putting viruses on your computer as well. Any that require you to download anything are for sure. You will get these fake need to update your flash player to trick you.

Uh... i guess I'm just pretty decent with a computer. I get pretty high quality streams...
 
Bad time of year and right after NYE and Christmas. Shit marketing is shit.

500K. Wouldn't surprise me if it did around 350- 400K either.
 
This is by far the most I've been excited for a single bout in a long time, perhaps a year or more. The hardcore base is way up for this.

I think the problem is so many casual fans have tuned out. If this were not coming on the heels of horrifically bad series of PPV buyrates I think it would do gang busters. The real question is how many casuals have simply stopped paying any attention.

I'm thinking 650k?
 
they haven't been as great lately as a few years ago. probably over 500k considering the time of the build-up, but less than a mil. 700k would be very good.

could be a good thing for this card. People aren't buying many cards so they're more likely to shell out on a rare occasion for a great card/title fight. I'll say a mil.
 
The price is higher, so probably less than normal

also at this time of the year people are out partying, i think a lot of people are more likely to go to a bar or theater to watch this fight than at home just because of the time it's happening

A million is a bit high...I mean who knows what could happen but that number seems unlikely...
 
600k. The rest of the card has a few highlights but it's not strong overall. Cowboy/Jury will probably be better than DC/Jones. It just happens that way for the UFC.
 
Max 700k

I think around 650

Anything lower than 480 the ufc should be disappointed
