MMA Junkie reports the attendance and bonuses for UFC Fight Night 62 from Brazil. There was no Fight of the Night bonus as four fighters were awarded Performance of the Night honors.
The following received $50,000 bonuses. Gilbert Burns, Godofredo Pepey, Kevin Souza and Fredy Serrano all earned the awards on a night where there were 9 stoppages. In addition, Dana White stated that Erick Silva and Amanda Nunes would receive an extra check for their performances on Saturday.
The event drew 7,707 fans at the Maracanazinho Gymnasium in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. The event was less than Mendes-Aldo II from UFC 179. That event drew 11,415 in the same venue.
Payout Perspective:
It’s not too surprising that this event did not draw as well as UFC 179. In fact, it’s the lowest attendance for a UFC event in Rio de Janeiro since 2012. One could have picked any number of the stoppages for Performance of the Night as the event had many entertaining stoppages.
Wow, a handful of no named prelimers making 66k for a fight. Mayweather’s prelim fighters make around 20-30x less than that. HAHAHA!!!
falling gates, falling interest, fighters taking dives, incompetent officials. whens that loan payment due?? bye bye uncle fester soon be a distant memory and maybe without the zuffa plague this sport can thrive
Fighters taking dives, incompetent officials. sounds like boxing lol Wow the UFC can’t draw even in Rio . Notice how they don’t give any gate figures, $5 tickets in Rio haha
Most Maypac perlim fighters are all in huge boxing stables making yearly saleries above and beyond the purse dip fuck. Besides that, fighting on huge shows is a stepping stone up, fighting for 7k in rio is a step down. Look at what a lot of those prelim fighters are making now! Haha Alverez for one! How can you not sell out even the shittiest show in Rio???
“falling gates, falling interest, fighters taking dives, incompetent officials. whens that loan payment due?? bye bye uncle fester soon be a distant memory and maybe without the zuffa plague this sport can thrive”
Nice try Sampson. Yeah, that is why they already sold 2.3+m ppv buys so far this year and we are still in March. Haha. By the way, boxing is the sport where fighters take dives.
When the loan payment comes and is paid, what will your next excuse be?
Ha. Those fighters make dogshit you idiotic liar. Do you think anyone believes the fabricated bullshit stories you make up?
No one in the ufc fights for 7k. Have you ever gotten a figure correct?
By the way, this was an extremely low profile replacement headliner idiot. This wasn’t expected to sell well. It did better than any equal profile boxing card would.
You smell like Arum.
7k attendance you idiot!! there are more people selling programs and bootleg swag outside then actually watching the fight, hahahah and what were the comps????? Josh K is hardly low profile!! tuf ppv title fights oh yea you forgot assclown!!
You would think with half a billion in world expansions they could give away, because that’s what they did in Brazil! more than 7k in tickets bahahahahahaha
“fighting for 7k in rio is a step down”
You’ll have to forgive me, you are about as coherent as Gerald McClellan is. Your statements are used out of context frequently so it is difficult to comprehend what your point is at any given time, cum stain.
Josh K hasn’t been a draw in years and was a late fill in. That was also probably his last fight.
Stop blowing boxing promoters.
“You would think with half a billion in world expansions they could give away, because that’s what they did in Brazil! more than 7k in tickets bahahahahahaha”
The gate for this fight did better than anything an equal boxing card would do. You just hate the reality that the UFC can exceed expectations abroad with low profile headliners.
Once again Saldaqueef acts as if he knows what is going on in the world, yet in reality he is a barely functional retard.
Mayweather undercard fighters make more money than the UFCs superstars.
