UFC 197 Low PPV Sales to Blame for Conor Back on UFC 200?

[Vulcan]

Maybe it's just me but i noticed ufc 197 had little hype and buzz yesterday and just a day after and suddenly conor is back on, i guess ufc doesn't think jones vs cormier 2 has enough star power to save ufc 200

Yeah Conor and Rhonda are by far the UFC' biggest stars. Anyone who thinks the UFC does not need Conor and only Conor needs the UFC are idiots. Prove me wrong people, prove me wrong!!

 

[Number1StockBroker]

BTW what were UFC 197 PPV numbers?

Jones vs OSP was never going to be huge

Probably did around 350k

Jones vs DC would probably only have done around 800k

UFC needs Nate.


Nate wanted Conor... So the UFC complied.

Nobody knows but rumor i just started says they're low

No real vitriol, hate or animosity to build the hype since DC was out. Its plain as day to me. I can't believe you couldn't see that.

No one cares about you to write a few sentences to prove you wrong because you'll probably still ignore it

Yea and that hate is real. There is no love loss between those two. But if we are being totally honest Conor vs Nate outsells Jones vs DC all day everyday

Source that he is back on 200?

Ronda vs a bum or Conor vs a bum outsells a card of all title fights (as much as the oh so very knowledgeable "hardcore" fans will dispute). We have got to the point where boxing is at, where stars have passed the "Don King" or "Top Rank" brand. This is good tho, eyes on those that deserve it, those that put their lives on the lines and not business men that profit off the blood of other.

Would rather see Jones/DC 2, personally.

It does, but that hate is real like you said. Still that's the difference between 400k and potentially 1million.

Same here. I still want to see conor vs diaz but not as much as dc vs jones.

You did care about me enough to reply to me though, the thing is you can't prove me wrong so you much rather talk about how no one cares about me, cept you buddy.

If all you care about are numbers, Conor vs Ronda is the fight to make!

Is it confirmed that Conor is back on or are we just speculating?

Not confirmed at all. I'm on the side that it's bullshit. But it's not really speculation. It's a Tweet from the fighter himself

Its not really proof either since he has been a bit... flaky with his tweets lately.
You know retiring and then unretiring.
I do feel I need a better source than Conor him self on this one.
