Who's buying UFC 222?

[truthisfreedom]

2 WMMA fights on the MAIN card, while Darius, Dollaway, Lombard and Dodson are on the undercard.

How many PPVs does 222 sell?

 

[chitoortiz]

200K.

 

[RealMadridMMA]

this card is worthless. I won't even stream it. 125k buys.

 

[Tamriel Terror]

Definitely not tree fiddy

 

[FinalConflict2005]

UFC needs to slow down on this trash.

 

[JayJayFrench]

Elebenty seben.

 

[JN9000]

Maybe 100k. It would be a solid fight night card.

I would like to see the UFC stream it on Amazon for free as a way to kick off their new deal.

Despite Edgar being a hardcore fan favorite, I suspect this will be this year's lowest grossing buys. Maybe, maybe, TJ vs MM will sell less. Because, let's face it, TJ is an overrated Sherdogger hypetrain who has no real following.

Disagree 100%. With TJ / MM as co -main, and a solid Main, that could be top 5 highest for the year. It's also a great scrap to market the lighter guys who actually bring it in the octagon.

Champ vs Champ, + MM's legendary records. No way they gonna put it on co-main. It's definitely a main event, if even Cyborg is.

Some losers will buy it. 50k I’m guessing. If you have $65 for trash like this then you’re either rich as fuck or a huge cuck.

 

[Evangelion]

Cyborg is way more popular than you tards can comprehend. Card will do 200k.

 

[Kinniku]

100k or even less.

 

[Mmaprovost]

12k

WMMA haters need to get over it. Let the hate go.

Not a good card though. Cyborg did 380k at UFC 219, but that was against Holly Holm, and it had Khabib on the undercard.

I'll guess it goes less than half of that. 180k.

That was all Holm and Khabib. Cyborg doesn't even do half of that.

It's like the UFC doesn't give a shit about the quality of events anymore, just trying to crank out as many tard cards as possible to get TV deals.

 

[007]

100k if they are lucky and all those are Edgar/Ortega fans

I think they intend to reduce the number of PPV's, and there have been reports suggesting that might happen. For now, they're clinging to the idea of holding one PPV per month. They specifically go for that amount because people are typically paid once per month, so it makes sense to try and draw out regular payments from people. They want to make a UFC PPV purchase part of people's routine. The only exception to this is December, where they hold 2 PPV's; the early December one and the NYE one; one before Christmas and one after Christmas. Anyway, I think this model is going away, and they'll start doing less than 1 PPV per month. Maybe as soon as 2019.

But you can hardly claim they're bolstering their TV cards in favor of their PPV cards. Lawler/RDA, Jacare/Brunson, and Stephens/Emmett are low level fights in comparison to previous Fox headliners. Fox used to get title fights, remember? And that's despite the fact that there were fewer titles back then.

I'll prolly go and stream it around 11:30 on my phone at the bar to watch Frankie/Ortega. Wilder/Ortiz will be going on at the same time which has me twice as hyped than any of the fights on 222 excluding the co-main. I honestly would be surprised if this card did more than 120k. No better than any of the cyborg main events that went down in Invicta on Fight Pass for $10

 

[knock_you_out]

There are no good quality, free streams, so yeah, I will have to buy it!
