I wonder if Bute could do this in Canada against Froch or Ward.

Yeah if Bute and Pascal were on the same card. This is a stacked card with 2 title fights, and the final fight of a legend. I'm not surprised it's doing this much, I doubt it beats Wrestlemania 18 though.

Are you kidding me? Bute isn't even in the same league of popularity as GSP in Canada. Theres no way they would even come near that gate

Its impossible to beat Wrestlemania 18 in attendance because the UFC configured the stadium for 55,000 max. Not a big deal. Its much more impressive that they now hold the highest gate for the Rogers Center in history


Put it in perspective Wrestlemania 18 did a gate of $3,846,033. UFC 129 has a gate of $11 million

This'll be Jake's toughest test to date. GSP doesn't slack. It should be good while it lasts.
