UPDATE! - Real reason for changing the UFC 200 Main Event ?

[One MMA Fan]

Let's see the general idea on this one sherbros.
Personally I'm going with the Brock more $ option but I'm worried that maybe he made some noise on the all 5 rounds situation.

I think in the short Q&A he did earlier he was a big surprised when one reporter mention the 5 rounds... again, maybe he asked for more $ for the possible longer fight since it was under new conditions.

................................................................................................
UPDATE: Mark Hunt confirms that the change Main Event - Co Main Event is costing him money.

So I guess it was all about money in the end.

Feminism bro.

Feminism bro.

Is that a strong enough angle to make this last minute change that can negatively influence buy rates ?

 

[Jorge Luis Borges]

Seems like a strange decision given that Brock is the real draw on this card, but whatever. It doesn't matter much to me.

 

[Guile]

WBW title is only official title on the line, so therefore the worthy main event. Way she goes boys.

 

[The ScorpioN]

Why can't they just make the main event 3 rounds? If Hunt and Lesnar signed for 3 rounds, it should be 3 rounds.

I see no reason why the main event HAS to be 5.

 

[johncola]

I really don't know and I think it's weird. Maybe WWE kicked up a fuss about not having agreed to the fight being main event?

 

[Kingz]

Is that really the main event?

lol..well, lets not forget that Jon Fitch vs. Paulo Thiago closed out 100.

 

[GODZILLA213]

Those posters look stupid as hell. Anyways, of course Brock would ask for more money if he was going to be the headliner of UFC 200.

Why would it effect buy rates? The fight was already on the card, nothing's changed in that regard

 

[CJohnny]

They just wrecked it for me. Won't be watching anything after the Lesnar fight.

Remind me again UFC 196 what tittle was on the line there in that main event?

Or the original main event of UFC 200 ?

 

[The ScorpioN]

WBW title is only official title on the line, so therefore the worthy main event. Way she goes boys.

Gonna be pretty anticlimactic watching Tate/Nunes after Aldo/Edgar and Lesnar/Hunt.

I wonder how many people will straight up leave the arena.

 

[UL]

Lol

This is poor, wmma headlining 200

Best news is I can go straight to sleep now after co main event

 

[Quantum Jake]

Womens mma is trash. Womens sports in general tbh

 

[what-wut]

It's because of the WWE narrative they don't want to say that the guy who headlined the two biggest shows is a pro wrestler.

 

[Kneepocalypse]

Didn't know this sandwich making contest was the new main lol

 

[HIGH VALUE]

brock kept saying merry christmas brock during his q&a when asked about jon testing positive so he was prob gonna get more money lol

My man.. the average 'Buba Johnson' isn't surfing sherdog.. he decides on the moment if he will buy it or not, if he has the cash for it.

Your really think this move will be good for the PPV buys ? you think Dana did this from the kindness of his hart or that he was force into it by other reasons.

Other!.....If Brock won, he was gonna speak for 3 minutes straight about his deep love for the one and only, Coors Light!

Anheiser-Busch said no way Jose',......Yank him!
