The UFC's HW champ is also no better with his last fight doing just 300k ppv buys.
        lol pfft link?

            the google searches leading up to the fight and after were only at 500k searches, which implies it's in the 600k range. Only after the UFC's most disastrous moment ever did the google searches in increase. Do you have a linlk for your 4 million PPV buys?

            Here's the link for Jones, Cain and GSP's disastrous PPV flops. As I'm sure even you can clearly see, the UFC is so ****ing screwed.

              Uh, ok, I didn't know that. I know that we used to never be able to find boxing at bars when a PPV was on but they would always be like "No, we won't be showing the Roy Jones fight but we will have UFC (insert # here) on, you should come in and check it out".

              We eventually just gave up on trying to catch PPV's at bars and stuff.

                      They show Mayweather's fights at the theaters and the bars (BWW's) here quite often. Not sure they will after his latest jab and gab performance.
