News The Brazil UFC event went so badly that the they have cancelled their planned May event

[TorontoTO]

Tons of empty seats at the Rio event, ticket prices that were the average Brazilian monthly wage, literally no hype.

Glover killed brazilian MMA, sad.

Your threads today are awesome man, keep it up. Also damn, wonder why this event tanked?

Like I mentioned, the ticket prices were the cost of the average Brazilian monthly wage. Would you pay 1/12 of your yearly income to go to a UFC event?

 

[Oeshon]

Not exactly a hype card.

Glover is old and he's no Anderson Silva, Wanderlei Silva, Vitor, Shogun, Aldo etc

I didn't even tune in to watch the glover/hill fight

 

[Siver!]

Not going to Brazil, didn't go to Asia for this past weekend's event...

But don't worry, it's all 'internet BS' that the UFC isn't marketing events properly.

LMAO!

UFC is dying

All hail Power Slap

I guess what I meant was, why were these decisions made? Was there just no oversight or what?

The UFC is in a habit of upping prices to astronomical levels. Have you seen the London prices? Like a 50% increase since the pandemic. The UFC is never going back to the globe-trotting company it was pre-pandemic.

Move the card to Abu Dhabi

More cards should be in the UAE

If they brought in some fresh meat like the young, handsome, lucious, buoyant, ubiquitous, talented, man-child known as Erik “lion head” Silva they could sell out any stadium in Brazil.

Times are very tough here in Canada.

many people can’t afford food and gas.

I can’t imagine it’s much better in Brazil

 

[TJ177]

Dana keeps Power Slap away from his loyal international fans and he expects them to pay for his garden variety UFC?

Não obrigado.

The card was awful on paper and the tickets prices were insane.

Hell, people are complaining about the ticket prices for the london PPV, I'm sure it will sold out since that's a first world country but it's pretty telling that what everyone was talking about when tickets went on sale was the high prices.

accurate and true. Canada is bad.

 

[Joshuaace]

Those fans deserved to see Charles as the Headliner

 

[AmbassadorFright]

It's becoming harder and harder to be a fan of the UFC. Feel like changes need to be made up top and the whole company needs a slap to the face

 

[runjay]

Good. Fuck those dudes
