Crazy Day For Violence... How Will The UFC fare?

[muhammadgoatli]

So, we have a pretty fascinating day of combat/general violence...

is not only competing with the return to combat and the pro boxing debut of the beloved Nathan Diaz...

but also the WWEs premier summer event (Nate's opponent's brother is on this card, weirdly)...

So, how will this go? Who's getting the most views?

 

[Bobby Boulders]

Summer Slam will probably get the most views. Probably by a sizable margin. Summer Slam is the #2 WWE event, behind Wrestlemania. UFC might get the least viewers of the three.

If you're debating if you should watch WWE or either of these ya got to reevaluate thing.












Cause it's Summer Slam Baby! and it's real to me dAMNIT

Don't forget AEW for the snobby pro wrestling fans.

UFC will probably do the worst in terms of viewership, far from a premier event for them. Paul vs. Diaz will draw more casual interest. WWE is a different fan base putting on a flagship show.

Personally, easy choice to watch the UFC card. May watch Paul vs. Diaz for the novelty of it. No interest in WWE.

I'm watching summer slam!

Sandhagen vs Font is the one that I can settle into, kick back, and watch in its entirety or at least most of it.

The novelty of Jake Paul boxing has worn off for me. I had completely forgotten that this fight was even happening up until a couple days ago. I'll probably still check out the main event because it's Nate Diaz. There's still the novelty of seeing Nate outside of an MMA setting. As with these sort of events, they'll waste so much time in between fights and fill the program with random nonsense that I'd rather not waste my own time watching them waste time.

As for WWE, I have absolutely no interest in it whatsoever.



As far as which program will do the best? I don't know and I don't care that much. I didn't get into MMA because it was popular (and it was way less popular back then), I got into it because I enjoy it.

MMA fans thinking celebrity boxing is worth watching over a Sandhagen fight is pretty funny.

MMA fans thinking WWE is worth watching over a Sandhagen fight is pretty funny. (also)

That's one word for it

 

[Aarkan]

Font throws a lot of volume, and so does sandhagen
This is one is gonna be a absolute banger, so i expect the viewership to be a result of that.

MMA fans thinking celebrity boxing is worth watching over a Sandhagen fight is pretty funny.

I think most of them are hoping to see Nate either pull off the upset or get raped and destroyed.

I heard Logan's going on early in Summer Slam so he can fly his private jet to attend Jake's fight, since the walkout is like 11pm

 

[Ares Black]

Some real violence, some fake violence, and some celebrity sideshow violence.

I know which one I'm watching.

If the WWE thing is ppv. Then the UFC gets more eyes. If the WWE is free.. it gets more eyes. That novelty boxing match probably doesn’t sell very well, imo.

Paul has lost his undefeated status. And Nate is not the draw he was at the time the original BMF fight happened.

 

[samuelsoncast]

I fukn despise the whole WWE thing being associated with MMA, as much as the slap thing. UFC fanbase is beer swilling rednecks.

 

[Hellowhosthat]

UFC card is very good for a fight night, obviously will be watching that.

Might end up torrenting Diaz Vs Paul out of morbid curiosity.

WWE doesn't make you buy PPVs for PPV money these days, can watch for simply paying $8/month or whatever for Peacock. Not a bad deal for people into that sort of thing, much better value than UFC on ESPN+, where you pay the monthly sub then $75 for the PPV.

In reality it should be Jake vs Nate headlining the SummerSlam in a NoHoldsBarred Cage Ladder Match!

 

[DiddlyDoodly]

UFC is dying.... most MMA media write more articles for Jake Paul rather than this Fight Night card. And then there's Summer Slam too.

It would be different if Jake Paul was fighting every week. One circus event a year is obviously going to overshadow everything else.
