main event fighters in ufc make most of their money on the back end. not up front which is stupid as hell. why would you pay a guy 30 million guarantee unless you are looking to lose money which is exactly what happened to showtime. boxing is the system that is messed up. giving ward 2 million dollars when he barely draws? makes no sense. gsp made over 12 million in 2012. if you are popular you make money. if you aren't then you don't. boxing has it backwards. they pay you a lot of money first and then hope by paying a fighter a lot that means he will be popular. doesn't work that way!

I think it'll be in the 700k neighborhood, stellar numbers if they hit that mark.

700k-800k imo

Being in Asia and skipping the US talk show circuit / promo etc. will hurt the buys.

I am pretty sure its on free to air in the phillipines btw.

Whatever is reported most here will spin it like it did better than Floyd fights with some bogus **** like over 25k viewed the fight from Malaysia.

This Manny/Floyd obsession is just too much with some people.
