UFC 100 PPV Buys - Will it break into Boxing's Top Ten?

[Kakutogi-Gumi]

I think it'll reach at least 1.3. I'm comfortable with that.

WWE fans will buy this because of Lesnar. They put their 2 biggest draws, + the battle of the coaches from TUF on the same card. However, it isn't the best time of year for a PPV. I say it goes 1.5 mil in what will be the biggest UFC PPV ever, but goes downhill from here. Lesnar will get exposed.

All of the UK have it for free...

So they'll lose a few hundred thousand.

those figures are just u.s. ppv.





anyways......they're expecting it to be around 1.25m , so it's possible.

lesnar will lay on top of mir for 5 rounds.

boring decision win.

MMA exposed is different then Boxing exposed.

I still don't buy that MMA has ever done a million buys. That Lesnar fight for a while they claimed it did about 900k and then all of sudden they bump it to 10,000 over a million. Seems a little fishy to me. With that said I think it will do a little over a million but if it were to fall short I would say that UFC will look at it as a disappointment since this is their biggest card and they have received a lot of media attention. From what I have read from fans that have followed is that this really isn't a great card and that is only big to the non hardcore fan. Either way they better hope Lesnar wins because Mir is not a guy that will draw big ppv numbers.

What the ****-a-ma-bob? Oh well, I will be getting it for free as well... its called streaming.

'To clarify - if you are a ****** Media or Freeview customer, it is a case of watching it at a friend’s place who has Sky, or watching it completely free on UFC.com online. UFC have been streaming events for years, so it will be good quality.'

Everyone should have it free according to this.

Cuz it's a young sport? HUH? True Boxing been around alot longer but if u look at Boxing's top 10 all-time PPV's, I don't see any from that long ago do u? My point is this UFC being this huge sport and it's killing Boxing is all just hype. This is there best card,with there biggest names and it's there 1ooth show so for them its the biggest show ever. So if it can't eclipse 1.5 Million PPV I think it would show that it really ain't as big as some think.

Boxing didn't even have ppv's back when it was a young sport, the crowd attendance was huge though, massive.

Mayweather-Pacquiao will shatter all these records.

Not much of a UFC fan but I was hearing that it could be the biggest PPV event of all time. I won't be one of the buyers although they are promoting the **** out of it on TV.
