UFC 162 Does Well Under Dana's 1,000,000 Buy Claim

Dana claimed that UFC 162 would do around 850,000-1,000,000 Buys after the Silva Wiedman fight.
Well the numbers are in and the actual numbers are at 550,000

Also UFC 161 did under 150,000 buys. Dave Meltzers take

The numbers continue a pattern for UFC. A show with a major main event does as well as it would have in any era. Even when UFC was setting pay-per-view records in 2010, Silva defending against someone who was an unknown without a strong amount of backup support, would not have done numbers at this level. The exception was the first Sonnen fight, but Sonnen is a master promoter. Ronda Rousey vs. Liz Carmouche earlier this year was a major success for a woman's fight. St-Pierre did his career best numbers as a headliner on his own with Diaz, although Diaz deserves credit for a show that picked up incredible interest in the last week.

However, the baseline number looks to have fallen. Fans are picking and choosing more. The June 15 show, UFC 161, headlined by Dan Henderson vs. Rashad Evans has been estimated in the 150,000-buy range. Both Henderson and Evans are well-known stars, with Henderson being a future Hall of Famer and Evans having a history of drawing big.

Really?

Initially he was claiming 800,000 then read one where he said in between 800,000 and 1,000,000

That's me buddy

damn, That 161 buyrate is some early 2000's shit.

and not shocked by the buyrate..nobody knew or cared about Weidman. All the hype from his peers which was used to promote the fight was incredibly contrived and clearly not bought by the consumer. Weidman won though so the rematch should do very well.
