What will the numbers look like?

Subject: Re: What will UFC 153 PPV #s be? Mon Oct 15, 2012 1:15 pm

I think the number is just under 500K

Subject: Re: What will UFC 153 PPV #s be? Mon Oct 15, 2012 1:39 pm

If that is the over under, I think under, but I won't be surprised one bit if it is over. It should be over. Anderson Silva should garner the buys especially after beating on Sonnen last time out and with the odd UFC and MMA news that has been constant. Just seems like a time for buyers. There was no big college football to my knowledge and this was a decent card for the MMA fan to buy as well.

I think in terms of actual viewers though, this would be the record again.

I haven't read or heard any numbers or any kind of range. That is just my personal guess.

just saying, if it was.

Sounds about right for an over/under though. I wonder how the #s for the actual event would compare to the previous 153 cards that were set, like Aldo-Frankie or the original Aldo-Kotch(with Vitor-Belcher). Which version of 153 would have sold the most PPVs?

Subject: Re: What will UFC 153 PPV #s be? Mon Oct 15, 2012 1:56 pm

Anderson Silva would of sold more I think.

Subject: Re: What will UFC 153 PPV #s be? Mon Oct 15, 2012 2:00 pm

I think the H-core MMA community that buys and watches fights is around 100 to 300K. I think the commercial buy rate is maybe is maybe 2,500 at maybe 20 heads per, so another maybe 50k. After that it is just a random crowd of who knows it is on and has bought in to the hype of the Main and sometimes co-main event that doesn't have something better to do on a Saturday.

Honestly I think Aldo-Frankie would have outsold Spider-Bonnar. Because even casuals looking at Spider's name knew he wasn't up against real competition. Frankie may not be fun to watch but his name was out there for awhile when he was champ.

Aldo Edgar would be close if not better maybe, the respect isn't there in terms of a lot of buyers but still it's been a few years and a few more people might of come around to those guys. Anderson Silva vs ____ though is big in 2012 in that spot after his last Sonnen win especially.

Probably round about the 300k mark.

Subject: Re: What will UFC 153 PPV #s be? Mon Oct 15, 2012 4:32 pm

375-425

Subject: Re: What will UFC 153 PPV #s be? Mon Oct 15, 2012 4:33 pm

Is the less then 250K vote a joke? I shouldn't even have made it an option.

Subject: Re: What will UFC 153 PPV #s be? Mon Oct 15, 2012 8:12 pm

I was thinking 400K before I opened it.

Well this just proves that Jon Fitch is not the big Brazilian draw they expected.

Looks like the Brazilian MMA surge is OVA!

But I'm surprised by those numbers.

But it was vs Bonnar. They had to know real fans were not taking that fight seriously.

So Dana is a fan of ridiculous exaggeration.

check this quote out:

"When we do fights in Brazil, 60 to 80 million people watch. And there's only 200 million people in the country."

Now with 12 million tv's tuned in to UFC 153, it was not the most watched MMA event ever, but I'd say each tv had at least on average 2.6 people maybe watching it. My guess anyways.
