nobodys gonna pay to see guys rolling around wraslin. ufc needs to go back to the old days when guys would come to the ring wearing a karate suit, guys lookin like sumo wrestlers.
now these days everybodys a wannabe hoyce gracie, “i cant take a shot to the chin, so i better get to the ground asap” ah whatever.
i watch mma to see a bare knuckle boxing match. ufc needs to get more guys like kimbo, guys with no skill but with heart. if im dana white, im bailing out “Bird” the guy kimbo beat up in his back yard and puttin those two together in a cage. cause dana dont fight, but hes the most famous person when people talk about the ufc…

yeah, Canadian’s like their fighting. But if you put it in perspective it’s not that big of a market save for Toronto, Montreal, and Vancouver (maybe Calgary). The population of the Country is roughly 10% of the US, so I would say at best the UFC gets about 30K buys from Canada on any given PPV accept when GSP is fighting and then probably around 60K.

Good point. Tito would have put SF out of the game. As much money as Affliction was throwing around. Even they said Tito’s demands were insane. That speaks volumes.

G Dawg

You cant put to much weight into the speed of ticket sales in the examples you gave. The Canadian cities are getting the UFC for the first time. The UFC always does well with their first venture in a city. UFC 68 in Columbus OH sold out very fasy and set the MMA attendance record in North America at 19,000. THe later shows were succuessful but not so much.

Also the PPV sales for the cities are per capita. Not total buys. Also we are looking at a UFC that did very poorly. I believe a PPV that got more interest and higher sales would change the per capita list. That is not to say that Canada isnt becoming a MMA hot bed for fans. Breaking down all the local barriers in each city and providence is very important to the UFC and its future.

Well , not being one to let the opportunity to slip by to say I told you so, this just reinforces what I've been saying about the Downward decline and momentum shift that the ufc is facing due to it's own bad decisions that are alienating fans both casual and hardcore .
