Will UFC 92 surpass Pac/Oscar in PPV sales?

UFC 92 will not have over one million PPV buys, or anything close. If Lesnar/Couture was on this card? I'd say it would push about 1.5 million PPV buys. But without those huge names, they will be lucky to get 500k. I'm a huge fan of Nog and Wand, and they're by far the two most accomplished fighters in the UFC today along with Liddell, but they aren't big names in the U.S..

Take K1 per say, every single year the best fight the best... The whole year is a giant tournament and in the end you KNOW who is the best. There is no ducking, no promotional stunts. "Oh you don't want to fight him? Fine, drop out of the grand prix and be forgotten." Boxing should be made like this... For each weight class a giant tournament with quarters, semis and finals like in K1. There is no controversy in K1, if you visit some K1 forums you rarely find "x would beat x" and no ducking posts at all because their either qualify or they don't! How i WISH boxing were run like this. As a matter of fact, i think every sport in the world is basically run like this (elimination style tournament) with the exception of boxing.

I argee that it is an amazing card, i am looking forward to it. I just dont think it'll pass 1.25 million and am willing to put to my points where my mouth is. I'll wait to what kind of promotional effort they put behind it before saying they'll get a mill.

I think it's time for you to officially announce you're move to the MMA threads. I care about what boxers get paid. Of course an MMA fan should care about what they're favorite fighters get paid. Fighters in general put they're lives on the line to entertain the fans. You would have to be a very cold hearted person if you did'nt care at all. Why don't Dana just get bums off the street he would'nt have to pay them at all. LOL You should become a financial advisor then, if you care so much about other peoples finances. Listen, i wish every proffesional fighter in the world made millions and millions of dollars, but that isnt the case, nor should it be my concern.

UFC 92's card would be the equivalent of say: Hatton vs Pac Cotto vs Marg rematch Haye vs Wlad All on the same card! I argee that it is an amazing card, i am looking forward to it. I just dont think it'll pass 1.25 million and am willing to put to my points where my mouth is.

How about paying millions to boxers who have never proved themselves to see them fight on paper mismatches in the hopes they are exposed, paying 55 dollars for one, on paper, mismatch and a couple of bad fights? Who would pay that price when you can pay the normal ppv price for 3 main event types of fights and be entertained for sure!? Hell if i wasn't a mma fan already i'd surely force myself to be one! All my fighting money is going to them, not to the corruption mob which boxing is. I still watch boxing on Sopcast but it would take like 2 years full of good decent matchups to make me a fan again. The problem is that inferior fighters know they don't stand a chance vs good competition and they avoid it. The real problem is fighters having a choice really. There are many orgs and many fighters and boxing is all over the place. It should only be possible to achieve success in boxing by beating the best in their primes, this is not the case, there are many roots to "success".

This card....it'll get maybe 800k.

I'd say it wont, ufc had a great year but their three big buys were lesnar events. I am willing to bet measly 1500 points that it wont get more than pacman-de la hoya, if any one wants?

Wrong thread man. Why you talking about those UFC fags. Why not compare WWE or an Elton John concert. You clowns are all traders. Would a fan of hip hop music be considered a trader if he were to also listen to Jazz or alternative music? Stop being an ingnorant fool.

I laugh when i see anti mma guys try and bash mma by saying things like: "well they can afford to put on a show like that because they dont pay thier fighters shit" Ok, my question is: Why on gods earth should u as a fan/spectator care what they pay thier fighters? Would u rather them put on a crappy card and pay thier fighters more? LOL.

I think there are also 4 undercard matchups in addition to the 3 main event fights. Two, possibly three. Evans/Griffin Mir/Nog Silva/Jackson 3 Okami/Lister Dalloway/Massenzio Swing: Kongo/Al Turk Chonen/Blackburn

I wouldn't bet but me personally i'd take the UFC 92 card 50000348x times over the Pacquiao-Oscar one any day I think there are also 4 undercard matchups in addition to the 3 main event fights.

i will bet 15K that it doesnt! naw i take it back lol not because i think that it will but because there really is no "official" word on what DLH/Pac did in PPV sales. i know its probably promoter BS talk but arum said it did better than initial indications or somethin like that so who knows...

Im willing to put 50k on the line and say that this surpasses Pac/Oscar in ppv sales. Who wants the bet? I wouldn't bet but me personally i'd take the UFC 92 card 50000348x times over the Pacquiao-Oscar one any day

You are probably right, can I have your 50K now? ;)
