MMA Junkie reports that UFC Fight Night 54 from Halifax Nova Scotia, Canada drew 10,782 fans for a gate of $926,000. In addition, Rory MacDonald led the list of bonus recipients.
UFC Fight Night 54 was the second UFC event on Saturday and took place at Halifax Metro Centre in Nova Scotia, Canada. No comp information was released.
In addition to MacDonald winning a performance bonus for his KO of Tarec Saffiedine, bonuses of $50,000 each were given to Olivier Aubin-Mercier, Chad Kelades and Patrick Holohan. Kelades and Holohan earned the Fight of the Night.
Payout Perspective:
Most of us who were out and set our DVRs to FS1 will be looking for the re-runs for this. Kelades and Holohan was on FS2, but the bulk of the rest of the card was on FX due to the extra, extra inning game played between the Giants and Nationals. FS1 did switch back at the start of the Bryan Caraway-Raphael Assuncao.
Another good gate abroad. MMA in Canada is very big.
10k is the new 20 k bahahaha
900k plus gate with a non top 10 fighter headlining and a horrible lineup.. very impressive to anyone that isn’t a boxing cocksucking welfare to work troll. HAHAHAHA!!
Correction, MacDonald headlined this one, but the rest of the card was awful. Definitely a profitable event.
Yup 2m gate for a couple low level cards not a bad weekend for the UFC
Hhahahah 2 million gate with 5 million in promotion and marketing, bahahahahha
D claims to know that the event was profitable without knowing any of the production costs bahahhaah what an ass munch bahahahha

Source?? And your delusional mind doesn’t count as a source. It is funny how much bullshit Sal spews everywhere with no evidence to back up anything he says. The fighter payouts were very low for both of these cards. Millions to promote a bs card in Sweden with Rick Story as a headliner??? Laughable. It cost them probably significantly less than a million to promote that card. You are delusional. You have no clue how much they put into advertising. Even for major ppv fights they don’t put a ton of money into. And it is very minimal for free shows on fight pass abroad. You can’t be this idiotic, can you?
Sal your pathetic
Sal, only 4 mil was spent on McMann vs. Rousey yet your claiming more was spent on this small event? I thought you claimed you had a life and were an mma fan
