UFC 295 Still Not Sold Out at MSG

[WA2OOO]

Tickets are priced way to high for the shit card

 

[Fight Professor]

$600

I know New York is supposed to expensive but is that a reasonable price out there? That's insane.

The real estate is easily 4x the national average or more, whether it is a very short term rental or a purchase. UFC passes all the expenses to the consumers.

MSG doesn't get the Abu Dhabi treatment sadly, you know what events the UFC really wants to save and those it doesn't care about.

NYC isn’t all that great of a place to travel to.

 

[m249viking]

Yeah, I understand the atmosphere is different at a live event, but having been to one, that itch has been scratched and I'm perfectly happy watching at home. No matter where you're sitting or how much you paid for your seat, your view is never going to be as good as the camera guy's who's resting his camera on the top of the cage. That leaves (as you said) staring at a screen - probably at a weird angle and certainly with far worse audio than in the comfort of your own home or local sports bar.

And you don’t have to wait in line for the bathroom, drinks or food.

No wonder Jones got "injured"


Dana really thought Jones would sell out MSG

I bet he's really missing Ngannou right about now

To be fair though, Jones was (might well still be) a bigger draw than Ngannou before Ngannou boxed fury and still would be had ngannou been clowned like most everyone expected

Jones vs Ngannou was the seller. Jones has never really been a big draw without a compelling fight. And now it would be even more compelling, arguably the biggest heavyweight mma fight ever.

dont get why some of those FN austin fights couldn't be put in this ppv. Laughable that the FN card is better.

It’s true. Hindsight is 20/20 though. I wish he wouldn’t have signed with PFL until after the fury match, but it was a super safe pick

FTFY.

Jones and Stipe aren't PPV draws. They both have only drew well with the right opponent. I guess neither were it.

 

[RiseAboveHat]

Because you have to be pants-on-head retarded to pay 600 dollars to sit in the nosebleeds and watch the fight on the big screen.

Watching at home is 99% of the time a better experience then live sports

 

[Goatenstein]

Good I hope Endeavor collapses.

 

[Local Plata]

This is what happens when you completely change from a sport to a fucking pro wrestling circus. Marketing to retards drives the tickets way way up. Glad they aren't selling though.
