UFC 137 buys...gulp

early estimates show a whopping 280000 buys... yikes!

Better than 136 even with no title fight.

UFC 139 - over under 500k buys?

only has them at around 260 million so far this year.

Only one GSP fight and none of Bock. Easily the 2 biggest draws of 2010.

Jones has now established himself as a name so I expect his fights to go through the roof.

Anderson is a little hit or miss. His fight vs Sonnen will sell though.

the economy is catching up to the ufc?

I think too many PPV's are catching up to the UFC.

Im patiently waiting for all this to go full time free TV.

Is that $$$'s?

Still sounds like a nice chunk.


And I also wonder how bar buys are factored into those #'s. do they count as one buy?

Economy has been bad. I don't think its a huge factor.

yeah i agree, for a while there i ordered just about any card they came out with. kinda holding back on that now... they may get me with all the commercials for 139 tho

I think the number of PPVs is probably bigger factor then the economy.

Really don't understand why GSP is such a big draw, do people buy his in the hope he gets knocked out ?

Good point. He is pretty damn boring fighting and personality wise, but he is in underarmor commercials. He's good looking. He's a big deal in Canada.
