Ashenthorn (Signature) said:Your 2014 "UFC shoving WMMA down our throats" update:
Men's fights held/announced - 223
Women's fights held/announced - 9
what a joke... The answer is hell no
I wouldn't pay for womens football, baseball, basketball, tennis, golf, rugby. ping pong, porn...well ok Ill pay for porn
I wouldn't ever buy a all women card. Heck I don't even like women being on the fight card at all. I shouldn't have to pay to watch them fight.
Nobody really wants to see that crap.
Maybe? What if it was like below (maybe minus the Carano fight)
Main: Rousey vs Cyborg (Title Fight)
Co Main: Tate vs Zigano 2
#4: Veronica Rothenhausler vs Gina Carano
#3: Carmouche vs Eye
#2: Pennington vs Bethe Correia or Holly Holm
#1: Bazler vs Pena 2
(Men Prelims)
The buyrate for Ronda/Betche was something like 900,000.
No. I would watch ronda vs. Cyborg for free.

They are small in number (looks to be about 60k people, if that), most of which don't buy PPVs and stream everything, and don't really effect the opinion of the actual buyers either (i.e. the casuals). Hardcores can be sort of useful in hyping a new talent but beyond that aren't really worth anything.
