UFC 91: COUTURE vs. LESNAR Discussion Thread

[Zapp Brannigan]

LOL. They use it so often that it's almost meaningless. And this fight is too other than fan interest and the freak show element.

Nog-Randy would better fit that description since Nog was the Pride champ for a while (although if it does happen, it probably will top this as the biggest in UFC history)

This fight will sell more then Nog-Randy, erego it is bigger.

Couture is gonna dirty box Lesnar like he did Gonzaga up against the cage, then finish him off on the ground.

Gonzaga didnt have the wrestling to get fight through those positions.

That criteria would put Kimbo in some of the biggest MMA fights of all time.

Really? How many PPV's has Kimbo sold?

I'm obviously talking about people watching it. You've giving me Dana's perspective and you are mixing up the UFC the business from MMA the sport.

The sale of PPV and ability to make money impacts 3 people (Dana and the Fertittas) more than the sport itself.

So all of the fights that happen on Spike UFC shows mean nothing to MMA since they are associated with commercial revenue and not PPV revenue (PPV of course results in higher per viewer revenue).

If the superbowl ends up on PPV one day, we'll discount all the pre PPV superbowls as being meaningless. You can then tell Cobra the Cowboys are the same as Detroit Lions
