depends on the setup of the arena, its like a multifunction thing. i think it was only set up for 10k anyway
im sure the time of day it was on wouldnt have helped
and no big name headline
Business wise? Event the well known shows like Shooto, Deep and Pancrase do what would be regional show numbers in the U.S. They have been for years. When Pride went bust, the market went with it. MMA was a fad in Japan. Kickboxing was always more popular. The "90k attendance" event that Pride nuthuggers like to brag about was actually put on by K-1.How is Japanese MMA business-wise?
Occasionally I watch NJPW on Axs-TV and it's crazy how Americanized it's become.

Also, MMA was never nearly as popular as Kickboxing. In fact I recall back in the day from people who actually knew about JMMA would criticize PRIDE for being shitty promoters and not promoting their guys like K-1 did.Business wise?
