ufc 200 only 19k fans? pride had 90k for shockwave

[tramendous]

this is disappointing as hell. pride shockwave 2002 had 90k fans. they cant get a bigger crowd?

 

[UL]

What do you want?

3 people per a seat?

 

[dontlaugh]

The guys PRIDE had at that time were just too good to not watch....this card didn't inspired hope plus all the doping things make some casuals think MMA is rigged.

 

[reflector]

I think the arena only seats 20,000 people. I could be wrong though.

 

[johncola]

They will do a stadium show if the time is right and they have the right fight

 

[dc007]

This event just needs more pro wrestlers like Pride had. Oh wait...

 

[jayonajetplane]

Compare ticket prices too

 

[lordbrownmeat]

They're keeping the statdiums for Ronda and Conor

 

[odog]

Stadiums are stupid for fights. You can't see shit. And you have to sell the seats for cheaper. It's not a big deal.

Correct and top it off they have had at least two shows with more then 45,000 people. As people say it has to be the right event and the right fighters before they spend a fortune on a stadium to host an event.

Arena capacity is 20,000

It always amuses me when people talk about that as if it was a PRIDE achievement. K-1 and Inoki drew the crowds. DSE just did the event operation. It wasn't even called 'PRiDE' in Japan

 

[Themonsoon]

I like ufc but it doesn't compare to pride in its heyday.

 

[Thade2k]

Let me know when I can watch the next Pride event. Thanks. Oh wait

Yes but it also opens it up for people who don't have 750 or more to see the big fights. The trade off is watching some of the fight on the jumbo-tron.

 

[Spookv]

The capacity are different. Pride 33 had like 12,000 people.

 

[DrHouse]

Yeah man, PRIDE's next event is gonna be crazy....

 

[FedorRoks]

Does Vegas even have a large stadium they could fight in?

 

[BlackPanther]

Thats correct TS. Wand = Pena

Attendance and number of fans are not the same thing.
