Agree Phone Post
If 119 got 295k, no way Hendo-lyoto will get 30% less than that. Especially with primetime treatment. Some people will be interested to see Ronda for the first time. Phone Post
Yes but I doubt they pay $60 for it. Most I've talked to will be at a bar watching. They don't want to spend that kind of money for her as main event. They don't mind wmma but feel they are really getting screwed over on hendo fight being three rounds.

Since WMMA didn't come in at the same time with the strikeforce fold, most think there should be a tournament. Ronda was champ before blah blah blah. They should've brought her over directly to avoid this. Dana didn't want it then. Therefore most think its dumb to just name her first champ over a year later. Phone Post
All PPV fights should be five rounds, that's not Rondas problem or her fault. Phone Post
No way the main card should last almost 5 hours. Doesn't work from a PPV standpoint, and that is over half the waling day you commit to the entire card.

Nope, 3 rounders have its place. Phone Post
You would obviously get less fights on the card.

If she does 300k I'd say its a successful card. Phone Post
I prefer more fights at 3 rounds. Fuck, half the MW-LHW-HW's get gassed after 3 rounds. I don't want rounds to be less intense, or have them on empty for the last 10 min. Phone Post

GayGuardMooseSaucy -  No card that had primetime has done under 500K (UFC 146 being the lowest).

I'll say 400-500, which Dana will either call a homerun or bullshit Phone Post

interesting about primetime.

400k would be a huge success given this PPV is the second this month, I think that plays into it.

I say 350k they would be happy with that given her opponent isnt a big name/huge fight and its the second PPV this month following a stacked 156 card.

He is wrong, UFC 143 had a Primetime and did 400k which could mean it really did in the 300's.

I say 550k views. 

 

No football season. No worries about having to pay for Valentines bullshit. Tax returns are coming back.

But earlier ppv this month will hold back the potential numbers for this card.

GSP24 - I'll say that it pulls a decent number. They're promoting the hell out of Ronda.

I'll say between 350k and 425k. Phone Post
This. She might be the most promoted person in the sport right now. But still not gonna do GSP type numbers. Phone Post

I know I will be buying it. My 8 year old daughter is in judo and she is a huge Rousey fan. I have become one as well cause of her tenacity. Phone Post

I'm optimistic. I'll say around 350K. Anything above 400K would be a home run. Phone Post

What did the Wanderlei/Rich rematch card do? I think it was pretty awful (never announced).

I think this show does those numbers. Phone Post

Gotcha. The ppv numbers always seem so vague and untrustworthy. Phone Post

A lower level UFC will still be in the 250k range. I think some hardcore fans may skip this one but there's a lot of mainstream attention on this fight bringing in the casual viewer. Ill go with the 375k range for this show. Phone Post
