Fuck PPVs.
I don't judge one's greatness or relevancy by PPV numbers.
If Americans don't pay PPVs to see Fedor, then I don't know why do they pay them at all.
If the GOAT and one of the most entertaining fighters won't generate huge PPV numbers, it's just a reflection of stupid and tasteless MMA fans.
I mean how do you not want to see him fight?
I don't really care much about PPVs too but it does reflect somewhat how "relevant" someone is in terms of popularity (not in terms of actual skill).
If Fedor signs with the UFC I think potentially they could make his title shot 10x more hype if he beats Mir/Arlovski. Normally I don't care too much about the build up of fights but in this case I think it'd be the best thing to do. If Fedor gets an immediate title shot it's basically going to be just because he is a legend of the sport. If he KOs Mir/Arlovski it will show everyone that he's not back just to fuck around, but that he's still a serious threat.
Either way I just really hope he signs with the UFC. It'd be amazing to see him fighting in there. Would be disappointed if he signs with WSOF/Bellator
