Payout Perspective:
We cannot conclude that the ratings reflect how the PPV did but the fact it was slightly off from its last outing could be a concern. Mirko Cro Cop appeared on the prelim portion here which provided name recognition to hopefully garner viewers. Glory had promoted the PPV very well but we shall see how it actually did on Saturday.
D says
Why on Earth was CroCop on the prelims? He may be washed up, but he was the biggest name the card had.
Diego says
How much was the PPV? I didn’t get it.
D says
I didn’t either, pretty sure it was $45/$35 HD/SD
Jason Cruz says
@Diego and @D – At least on DTV it was $45 and $35 as D indicated.

GLORY has peaked, accept the fact that nobody cares about kickboxing.

Is GLORY too embarrassed to publish the PPV numbers or does under 3000 just not even worth reporting. What a total disaster, too bad GLORY will run out of money and die on the vine.
darnell says
GLORY is so could they can’t even give it away.
Greg Nutsak says
LOL, it was announced that GLORY PPV got 6,000 buys, holy disaster Batman, I mean M. Andurand! That one has got to sting.
