| http://www.bloodyelbow.com/2011/2/10/1987208/ufc-129-in-toronto-42000-tickets-sold-breaks-ufc-recordAccording to TSN.ca: The mixed martial arts juggernaut enjoyed a record day at the box office Thursday, selling more than 42,000 tickets -- its entire original ticket block -- for UFC 129 on April 30 at the Rogers Centre.
"I LOVE CANADA!" UFC president Dana White told The Canadian Press in a text message.
The previous UFC attendance record was UFC 124 in Montreal, which drew 23,152 to the Bell Centre in December. White often refers to Canada as the mecca of mixed martial arts.
On Friday, another pre-sale is set for those who subscribe to the UFC newsletter. Tom Wright, the UFC's director of Canadian operations would not detail the possible total number of seats on sale but said 50,000 would be "pushing it." | |

| Wrestling Observer/Figure Four Onine says buying trends for 129 suggest just less than 1,000,000 buys. (. = grain of salt) - Quote :
- The UFC Prelims on Spike this weekend did 1.5 million viewers, tied for fourth place in Prelims history. Dave will have more in the Observer but early trending numbers are putting the show slightly below 1 million buys. Of course, anything this early is tough to take too seriously.
That would be awesome thing if so. UFC 129 was all around epic with an average main event. But the spinning back fist KO after the main event, come'on! A lot of people got to see some good fights, enough to slightly temper the tears of those who just came through for the main event. | |
