Golden Boy tarped off the top tier of the arena, no idea if Bellator did, which might explain the numbers better.

In a Boxing fight obviously he would, certainly not in a MMA fight. Pacquiao has made a lot of money boxing but he seems to go through it, he's had trouble with not paying taxes.

Crawford fought Horn on ESPN+

The 2 US PPVs Pride events did around 40,000 buys each, the tape delayed ones did much lower, especially in the pre TUF era when even the UFC were doing terrible numbers, PPVs were cheaper back then but loads of hardcore fans streamed the show and I guess they didn't want to pay for the US...

Bellator used to follow TNA when they were on Spike TV and TNA had over 1 million viewers. Spike was relegated to second tier and dropped from being under a basic cable package and lost a few million homes it was available in, throw in cord cutting and it dropped a lot. Spike got rid of TNA...

Askren was always seemed like he could be great, he's beaten really good fighters like Koreskov & Lima earlier in all their career's, he didn't face top guys in One and it will be interesting to see if he can do that in the UFC, most of the top guys have high level wrestling or have decent TDD...

No well they will eventually but not live, obviously they signed with ESPN+ for 20 exclusive events and Dana's contenders & looking for a fight, One are exclusive on Bleacher Report Live and Bellator has 7 exclusive fights on DAZN but these platforms already exist, UFC & One don't start until...

No notable sports streaming app is coming out next year in the US, right now the ones that are out are ESPN+, DAZN & Bleacher Report. Comcast own cable network, so won't be releasing a paid app as it goes against their business plan, Fox are down sizing to produce mostly live Sports & News but...

A lot of people bought WWE Network for the back catalogue, watching old WWF, WCW, NWA, ECW etc and Raw & Smackdown are too highly rated shows promoting the Network, even UFC with Pride & Strike force etc they sold shows on nostalgia and lower tier shows. DAZN doesn't have a library, the shows...

NHL is the next major sport to be up, if DAZN still exist they and ESPN + will be going af5er the online rights. Interesting that Disney see ESPN+ as more of a sample to what Disney+ will be in 2019 as that will be trying to compete with Netflix & Amazon but they have loyalty from Marvel, Star...

The UFC is on DAZN in Germany & I think Japan, it's all about distribution, the UFC gave up their TV deal with Eleven Sports in the UK because they couldn't get it on certain platforms, so they went back to BT Sport. LA Liga & Series A are thinking of dropping them as well in the UK, they are...

The CBS-Viacom merger is apparently still on with & AT&T & Disney buying Fox assets, they don't want left behind, the guy who was trying to block it has been sacked for sexual harassment in September. Showtime really is the place to go, a monthly show like PBC is doing on their, then have a few...

Chuck was the UFC's biggest star in the early days, coached the first TUF and beat Randy in the first post TUF PPV that did very well in PPVs for the time, he continued doing big numbers for several years, he made the UFC a lot of money.

Bullshit, Richard Schaefer was the guy running Golden boy when they were on top, besides Canelo, name the rest of his big name fighters? They all work for Al Haymon (him & Schaefer got him to sign mist of his fighters over) PBC (Showtime & Fox), Top Rank (ESPN) and to a lesser extent Matchroom...

Hunt was getting $800,000 to show for the Lesner & a few fights after that, you've got to assume he'll be looking for $400,000 at least and he's not a massive draw.

NBA is on at primetime, this will be on Friday mornings, maybe Saturdays but they can still promote it through NBA, MLB (on TBS) and NCAA March Madness they also air the UEFA Champions League on afternoons on Tuesday & Wednesday, that doesn't draw big ratings as most people are working.. The...

He is running a card with the budget 5Spike are giving him, it's basically a BAMMA card, they have BAMMA's promoter & BAMMA's matchmaker, when Bellator announced they would be running 10 extra shows, designed for the Western Europe market, it was obvious it would be BAMMA/Cage Warriors level...

These are regional cards that don't currently have a TV deal in the US, (on 5Spike in UK & Ireland), he's probably fighting guys he should be fighting at 20-21 years old, he shouldn't be one win away from a title shot, he has plenty of time to get up there.

He told them to talk about the PPV at the press conference, why should four fighters in title fights, have to sit there and listen to shit about Greg Hardy? He then did his own scrum and the journalist got to ask about other UFC stuff, that's the way it should be, do you think Max Holloway going...
