UFC's super fight just became their saddest moment

[LoadedWraps]

For all the talk of how Silva vs Weidman would destroy any boxing PPV it may have in fact become the biggest disaster in their history.

1. Despite all the promo and hype their google searches were only trending at 500k before the fight further highlighting their failing business. Remember Manny-Rios was trending similarly and that did 500k buys.
2. Silva breaks his leg in a horrific manner which will clearly turn a lot of fans off MMA. They were afraid to show the replay again.
3. They were hoping to turn Weidman into the next big US star but this win will do nothing for his image. Nobody is going to be forking out for his next fight after this. Their star's career is over and no one is there to replace him.
4. MMA's most talented fighter loses twice in a row in embarrassingly bad fashion.

Is this a boxing forum or an MMA forum? Don't worry, i'll wait.

True, but he's not selling. His last PPV had a ton of hype but sold under 350k. His only hit PPV was carried by Brock Lesnar.

True but I hear they are going to have him Main Eventing in Mexico City soon. If that's the case he will probably get ALOT bigger. We all know having a large Mexican fanbase can make an average fighter Cough*Chavez*Cough a box office star.
