There's a UFC card practically every single Saturday. Not to mention this was the weakest UFC PPV card in a long, long time. I'd be very surprised if it broke 150K buys.

Sure, but the prelims did good numbers. Granted, those took place before the SHO card.

Ya'll be hating like **** lmao..he had Mares pull out u fugging IDIOT lmao..how many numbers did you expect with Ruiz and the Main Event..stop hatting smdh

The date this was booked was smart. Sure those celebs probably ***ed with Tank but Grammy's weekend was the main reason they were there.

I don't personally care about those #'s but I'm sure that, its probably not a good number.

I expect the rest of Showtime's announced fights to do similar numbers. People know mismatches.....

Weak numbers! Tank needs GRJ @ 130, or Pacquiao @ 140! Nunez vs. Cherry winner won't get it done!

That UFC card did really good numbers for the prelims. I believe it averaged like 1.3M.

More than anything, I'd day the AAF game probably took away some viewers that this card may have had otherwise. Because there is always a Saturday night NBA game this time of the year and there are UFC cards around this time, but the AAF opener did really solid numbers. It even beat out the OKC/HOU game.

yeah but there is always an nba game or college football game and almost always a ufc card and sometimes another Boxing card. U can’t really use those excuses.

Ready for PPV clearly! Mayweather Blue-Print!
I'm really happy people aren't falling for that bull**** They try to pull. Fans aren't as dumb as Mayweather, Ellerbe and Espinoza would hope.

Let us know when He'll have actual fight, not exhibition.

Can yall slow down a little bit? This was his first headline in America against a late replacement. Errol Spence did less than a 2 million viewers on FOX when he headlined against Chris Algieri. Now he's about to be in his first ppv.

Tank is a growing brand. It's not about where he is now, it's about how he grows from here. He has the biggest name in the sports promoting him and has many celebrities backing him. I think he become at least as popular as Broner.

Awful figures. And this guy is hyped as the new superstar? Do me a favour. Casuals have got more sense then to tune into that sort of slop, they dont care if a fighter is 'young and making money' they want entertainment.

I watched AAF and okc/rockets game once mares withdrew lost interest in replacement fighter

These are terrible numbers. And laughing at the excuses...he went head to head with Alliance Football. LMAO oh you mean the minor league football league with players that couldn't crack a NFL roster and had little to no advertisement. A weak UFC PPV and a random NBA game. Stop it. This card barely avg over 300K viewers meanwhile Top Rank went head to head also with Minor League football and a little thing called the Grammy's which drew 19.9Million viewers and still the top Rank card avg more then double the viewers.

It's not about what else was on TV. It's about Davis not being a draw (hell the crowd was a Mares crowd. they booed Davis fans had already bought tickets to root for Mares for the replacement). GGG not only got a replacement he SWITCHED the entire venue and state last minute and still drew well OVER 1M viewers to see him fight a bum.

If you are a black American fighter and you want to do big numbers you better be good looking like Sugar Ray, have an engaging personality like Thurman, or play the stereotype like Broner does
