There's some solid fights but this will be lucky to do 175k buys.

In fact, that would probably be a huge win if it does 175k.

 

[Super Dave]

I like two of these fights.

Honestly I will probably forget about them by the time Saturday rolls around.

Yeah I def don't see it doing over 200k.

@FrankieNYC thoughts?

 

[Tiiimmmaaayyy]

Forget about 200k, It may not do over 200 buys. Lots of judges decisions on this one.

I know you're being facetious but it still strikes me that even the lowest of the low bottom dwelling awful cards do a minimum of ~100k buys or whatever. in this day and age with so many options and so many ways to watch fights for free, to think that at least one hundred thousand people actually buy every single ufc pay per views is pretty crazy.

 

[Rambo John J]

great smaller fighters but I good luck hyping it

I thought this card was better for some reason. Actually looks like shit considering the top 2 fights are just re-runs of fights that ended decisively.

I'm interested in Moicano vs Cub, but that's about it.

 

[FrankieNYC]

Yeah I def don't see it doing over 200k.

@FrankieNYC thoughts?

I think 200k is an OK under over
There are roughly 100-250k hardcore buys per card
Due to two title fights I can see 200k

I don't think his third kid will get a car with $6 (Dana's share of PPV)

Preliminary Card (8 PM ET, FX)
Brett Johns vs. Pedro Munhoz
Montel Jackson vs. Ricky Simon
Irene Aldana vs. Bethe Correia

I actually quit drinking for health reasons. my response made perfect sense dana can afford the car for his son I posted with his 6 dollar share of the PPV.
