Unless they act quick to put some better fights on that card it will have to be on Spike for free. Nobody would pay $45 with the two bouts that are currently scheduled. And yes I know it’s only 2 fights but if they want a buzz around the card and want people to anticipate it, they should start filling it with top level talent, not Houston Alexander and Michael Bisping.

Re: bubbafat

I know DirecTV had a package for 77, 78, and 79 which came with a beanie and a membership the UFC Fight Club, whatever that is.

Oversaturation doesn’t concern me. I’ll be be here long after the bandwagon jumpers find the next thing.
Has anybody put any thought into a possible subscription ppv service? I can get a seasons pack for hockey , but why not UFC? I know it probably loses them a little money, still, it would be handy.

And just to be a little more clear…the stadium actualy holds 76,212

And here is Old Trafford’s attendance records and as you can see they are packing it in this year.

Overall all they are averaging 75612

So…bad bad bad timing to be asking the locals to dish out money for tickets that day.

Someone at the UFC did a poor job of looking at what else was going on in Manchester that weekend. Manchester United has a match that day and “Old Trafford” fits 70,000 people so that takes away a huge part of your ticket sales.

Oversaturation is a crazy idea. Maybe too many PPVs from one company is a legit concern, but never too much MMA. I don’t see anybody whining that there is too much football or basketball… if anything, it brings the sport into more of a mainstream light.

I agree. Make it a free event on Spike and not a PPV, especially if it doesn’t look like a strong card.
