Payout Perspective:
A very good attendance for today’s event in Scotland. Of course, no report on the number of comps. Although I have yet to see all of the fights the Calderwood-Casey fight was very good and deserved the fight of the night.
Missed the event today, too many fights this week. 1.5 million gate is impressive. The UFC should consider doing more events in Europe. Not huge money, but ROI seems to be pretty good.
Seriously, I can’t go for a cup of tea and come back without ANOTHER UFC event starting. Great gate for a small, unpublicized show.
The card was so thin, I didn’t know 2/3rds of the fighters. Again, I think the event’s quality would be better if they cut out some and restrained themselves to a maximum of 1 UFC show a week, PPV and TUF finale included..
1 or 2 a month!
So here is another blatant example of YFC lies, bullshit and propaganda!
The Hydrow in Glasgow has a cap of 13k, attendance was 10451 with no comps given. Look at this bullshit that was spewed !!!!

Complete lies!!!!!! UFC lie and dont care and the fans and journalists never call them on it. Well NoT ME!!!!!!
Sal hates the truth. Huge gate for a low profile event in Scotland. MMA is constantly expanding while boxing is shrinking. Boxing trolls hate the reality that is setting in. HAHAHAHA!
bahahhaa D cant handle the truth, the truth has no lies in it!!!!!
Oh and BTW its a complete shit gate! they spent a fortune on this show, and also had to lie!! Why would they have to LIE?? hahahahahah
look at the Euro shows, they are a fucking joke. Some world expansion. I remember 2 years ago that all you fuck nerds talked about. What a failure!!! bahahahah
Groves-Froch II laughs at ur so called “huge gate”
Sal is insane. He just makes things up as he goes along. Never has any evidence to back up his delusions and continues to rant like a mental patient.
There were at least 4 ufc ppvs this year that generated more money than Froch-Groves II(aka the fight of the century for boxing in the UK).
The UFC can do more in Scotland with a low profile fight card than PBC can do in Vegas at the MGM. HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!
hahah of course D and the other girls won’t addresses the lie about the sellout TYPICAL bahahahha
Here is one explanation, the UFC bought their own tickets, which they do quite often, buy couldn’t get enough people to go for free to fill the house!!! bahahahaha
Or sponsors were forced to buy tickets or given tickets and the same situation.
Most likely all of them!! Either way if you look at the gate and money they both make sense. $143 ticket average is a pipe dream for Scotland. More likely $115 do the math,bahahaha either way they fucken LIED and got caught. D please spin the LIE!!!
Go ahead and name the ppvs that grossed more than Groves-Froch II.
Would love to hear this non-sense
Silva-Diaz
Rousey-Zingano
Cormier-Jones
McGregor-Mendes
They all grossed more money than the UK’s fight of the century. Just goes to show you how small the UK market is.
Hahaha. It is amazing the lengths that the crazy, delusional nut known as Sal will go through to come up with these absurd lies and angles. He truly is Saldaqueer.
It not amazing that D wont comment on the lie bahahahahah D is worthless
bahahah all those fights together might have equaled Froch
In Sal’s world, the sky is yellow.
None of those ppvs made more $ than Groves-Froch II you idiot. None of them sold more ppvs than Groves-Froch II. None of those ufcs you listed combined sold more tickets than Groves-Froch II.
None of them had a bigger gate than Groves-Froch II.
What does that tell u shitbird?
You are such a fucking retard it is unreal. The Froch-Groves fight’s ppvs cost $26.95, UFC ppvs cost on average around $55 on Comcast/Dish and $65 on Verizon, not to mention McGregor outdrew them in buys anyway. The tickets for Froch-Groves were also considerably less. That was in London, NOT VEGAS!!!
It tells me you are a fucking retard who thinks the UK market prices are the same as the US, but anyone with a clue would realize that the cost for these things in the US is more than double the UK.
Go back to ranting about Art Jimmerson getting robbed at UFC 1.
Nothing nothing about the big fucking LIE!!!. the UFC caught again! and no defense by any of the ufc paid girls! we can now write them off as useless losers who cant confront the truth! More lies to come!
Saldaqueer.
