El_Cromo Posted August 24, 2016 Report Share Posted August 24, 2016 Also, with ufc 200, it was marketed as a whole event, not a fight, where as with 202 it was marketed as a diaz vs mcgregor rematch, so most casuals just want to see that fight, not like 200 where they want to see the whole event from prelims up.

RazorRam0n Posted August 24, 2016 Author Report Share Posted August 24, 2016 didn't say it was right, just that it could be argued! lol we don't know how fox break down their payments for their broadcast deal but i'm sure 500k viewers has a fair impact. for all we know, the ppvs might come back barely 20k more or more likely 200 winning....

NangaParbatWinter16 Posted August 24, 2016 Report Share Posted August 24, 2016 Will say this the prelims for UFC 202 were a great introduction to MMA for the huge amount of viewers who tuned in and will have brought some new fans into the sport. Though its still shocks me that less than 2 million Americans out of over 300 million would watch two fit guys fighting it out in a cage, This sport should capture the publics imagination because fighting is a primal thing and the want to fight lives in us all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
