MMA Junkie reports the attendance, gate and bonuses for UFC 208 in Brooklyn.
Notably, there was only one Performance of the Night bonus.
Jacare Souza earned the only POTN bonus with his first round submission of Tim Boetsch. The first fight of the PPV, Dustin Poirier-Jim Miller drew the Fight of the Night. All three earned $50,000. There were no other performance bonuses.
The Barclay’s Center was sold out: 15,628 fans for a live gate of $2,275,10. The bonuses, attendance and gate were announced post-event.
Payout Perspective:
Only 3 bonuses which reflects the lack of finishes on the card. Although Holm-de Randamie was a good fight, Poirier-Miller was better. The attendance and gate is a good sign that New York is hungry for MMA despite the card’s lack of star power.
Solid gate.
I hear the line for refunds is backed up across the Brooklyn bridge
Na, you are confusing that with every PBC card.
….and every Mayweather card.
d dont bother arguing with him, although i would admit the ufc has nothing huge lined up .
im thinking gsp is coming back soon.
Ufc begging for any big name right about now. No ppv sellers, no mainstream star.
No ppv sellers? Hahaha. You must be thinking about boxing.
By the way, this gate was more than double any PBC card and it wasn’t a very good card on paper.
The card turned out a little weak but I don’t think it was as bad as Dana White says it was.

It was terrible, I’d rather watch paint dry. Saw it at a local bar out of coincidence and was thrilled their wasnt a cover for it. I would have asked for my money back. Can’t imagine buying tickets for that.
Hahaha. Fight Fan watches every UFC despite hating mma. He’s obsessed.
Probably in his Pride pyjamas, they don’t hate MMA, just Zuffa & Dana Whit and blame them for other promoters failinge and now WME IMG is hated.

Na, he’s a boxing fanboy
Something also to note here- this was the biggest gate ever at Barclay’s.
Card sucked, it was really bad. But so far UFC doing well in NY, two events in NYC and they hold both MSG and Barclay gate records.
thats impressive.
Feds watching how they would pay the loan…..hahahahaha
