Message: [QUOTE="underdog140, post: 2922069, member: 45060"] I agree there is no way to now for sure. It is all just speculation based on an educated guess. And that speculation is based on.. he is seriously lacking in the ground department compared to other elite fighters. You can't be a constant winner in today's MMA vs. Elite fighters with a ground game like his. He can improve his ground game .. and then who knows. I just looked at the raw numbers. But if Conor vs Diaz stadium held 16000 and 14000 attended it means he didn`t reach the max in a much smaller stadium. Which makes your points about GSP having his in a 55000 seat stadium mute. While all the fighters on each card help with PPV numbers. Nate is a bigger draw today than he was back on the GSP card. Machida was on a two fight losing skid and lost drawing power also. His aura was gone... it was no longer the Machida Era. None of them compare to watching the girl who just beat Ronda for the title fight again. As soon as Diaz was announced as the replacement the card just got that much better. It was the fight that should have been made from the start. He instantly brought more sales to the card. Fair play on your location point. I am not going to lie I didn't read all that. It is getting late and I will look it over again tomorrow but doing a quick skim leaves me with a few points: Nate upped 196 numbers because it was an interesting match for Conor. I would argue the most interesting one that could have been put on at the time. Both talk shit ect. People were excited for that match and wanted to see if Diaz was going to talk shit and taunt Conor in the cage. You left out UFC 100 G.S.P was Co-Main event and that had 1.6 Million buys. Comparing a free card to PPV card is a little bit of a stretch. I am not saying Conor isn't popular. He clearly is. He is a big draw there is no doubt about that. Conor fighting more often helps him with PPV numbers. He is a great self promoter. It keeps his last antics and fights in peoples minds and wanting to see more. Maby Conor PPV numbers for his last event broke all PPV records I am not sure. It is hard to comment on something we have no info on. But as it stands it doesn't look like the event broke many records to me. And even if it did break PPV records that is one record it broke not .. multiple or tons .. what ever wording Dana used. Like I said Dana is blowing smoke up everyone's a$$ and I don't blame him. That is his job as a promoter. He like everyone else wants red pantie night and as many as he can get. Here is a Video for everyone to enjoy, I found it on internet while reading up on some MMA.
