MMA Junkie reports that Friday’s UFC event, UFC on FX 6 had 5,133 attendees for a gate of $900,000. Bonuses were $40,000 each although there were no submissions of the night on the card.
Bonuses for the “TUF” The Smashes Finale were as follows:
Fight of the Night: Cody Donovan and Nick Penner
Submission of the Night: Ben Alloway
Payout Perspective:
According to its web site, capacity at the Gold Coast Convention and Exhibition Centre is 6,000. So, it was near a sellout. The previous shows in Australia were at bigger venues and had higher attendance figures.
When you factor in comps how much further from sellout would that push it?
