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

This card simply isn't great. Not what you would expect for a marquee event. But it happens in combat sports. Oh well, 199 was incredible at least.

How often did Pride have events? UFC has events a couple times a month and they just had three events in three days. Could have something to do with it.

But didn't you hear Goldie? This is one of the biggest sports events ever.

Attendence your right. People watching it isn't even remotely close

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.

45k for a pride card is normal. they had 60k a couple of times too. mma just isnt as big of a spectacle as it was in japan
