UFC 221 PPV buys ‘substantially lower’ than numbers returned for Miocic, Cyborg

[KevinLee]

Keep up the shit matchmaking and turning the UFC into circus. We will continue to not buy the bs you are trying to feed us. Hope WME and Dana continue the bs they are doing and continue to sink the sport down the drain.

[UL]

real numbers were probably around 80k

 

[Sid Arthur]

Card was awful on paper.

 

[brian]

What's the point of posting this without the numbers? clearly it did significantly less.

 

[BlameTheMedia]

Im sure ufc 222 will hit 1m ppv buys with all the amazing fights on the card. I mean the card is fucking stacked from top to bottom. Definitely worth 65$

 

[Jopious Extronimous]

No shit.

Why is this posted like it's some insightful look at UFC's business? Two decent cards with some star-power on them out-drew a completely shit-card with no names on it. There's literally nothing surprising about that at all.

[BionicCommando]

Let's say it did around 130 to 150K, that's above the rock bottom baseline that Mighty Mouse or Amanda Nunes normally hits. Those show clear around 2 million dollars in profit so this did better than those normally do with a much higher gate. OH and they jacked up PPV prices.


In other words, WME-IMG is probably more than fine that an interim title fight with no star power made them a more than respectable profit.

Ppvs are nothing but profits anyway

But sure, they're dieing

But did you actually watch 221? Besides maybe the Hunt/Blaydes the card was fantastic and delivered.

isn't it odd that when Holm & Cyborg event bombed, most WMMA haters claimed it was because of them, and now that this was purely male Male/Co-main, this is just a bad card issue....

 

[blaseblah]

But this was a hardcore fans dream matchup? Where are all the sherdoggers claiming people don't want to watch Cyborg?

Are you saying WMMA isn't garbage aside from like 3 possible matchups spanning every division?

I am saying it is not everything as terrible as haters claim.

Now please tell me how HW or LHW is incredibly deep......I'll wait.

That’s how misogyny works, nothing more than gender bias at play.

 

[Sparkzz05]

Imagine if UFC 226 has two super fights and still only does 300k buys lolllll

 

[Mixedfights]

Why does everybody here want the UFC to fold? You think some other company will do better? You'll just bitch about them too.

Sorry that should have read the entire roster of female fighters. Seriously, aside from the Rose and Joanna rematch and a possible fight between Cyborg and Nunes what is there? Holly and someone?

It seems you are afraid to recognize some divisions are shallow as fuck... and that is in the male's division where UFC own them for how long now??
If they can't get men's division deep, imagine WMMA that they are just starting.

But it seems people only have patience for men's MMA... WMMA suck and needs to be cut.
Unless you are also clamoring for te UFC to terminate HW, LHW and a few other divisions, you are a hypocrite, simple as that.
