Payout Perspecitve:
Overall a good event which could have fallen off due to the loss of Tony Ferguson due to injury and Lyoto Machida due to failing a drug test. In addition, IIslam Makhachev’s fight with Drew Dober was nixed due to Makhachev failing a drug test. Still it was an entertaining night of fights with the Fight of the Night being a very entertaining battle. The Performance Bonuses could have gone to Jon Dodson and Michael Dodson as well.

Hahaha. This still eclipsed every single PBC card in terms of gate revenue. Hahaha.
Joe says
Where do you get your PBC numbers from, D?
d says
I get them from the fact that the big events PBC had were reported and the highest grossing gate barely cracked 1m in revenue. PBC gates are horrible as is basically all of boxing other than the top few big events they have.
