>18,785 thousand tickets sold out for UFC 203 with $2.6 million at the gate.
>2nd highest grossing UFC event only losing to UFC 68 on March 3, 2007 which headlined Tim Sylvia vs. Randy Couture with 19,049 tickets sold and $3 million at the gate.
>Over 800,000 thousand PPV buys
Was he a draw?
All joking aside he would have drawn in quite a few curious mandrama fans, so he almost certainly a draw.
On the other hand, his defeat was so humiliating that even if he somehow does fight another event at UFC, any drawing power he did have is truly dead and buried
It was headlined by a heavyweight title fight people wanted to see, he boosted the buy rate by 100k probably but it was a one time thing, they've spunked their load on it

of course

Stipe in his hometown defending the HW title.
Punk is only responsible for PPV buy and a few number of entrance.
>>1768213
literally no one wanted to see the main event everyone tuned in for punk
>>1768213
Nobody gave a fuck about Stipe vs Overmeme
>>1768222
Even if that's true, it's because it was a freak show and his stock is zero in MMA now
>>1768222
I wanted to see based Overeem KO Stip' in his hometown.
Too bad Overeem made a weird mistake (going for the guillotine instead of GnP) and lost, slav boy is OK but still... Overeem deserve the big gold.
Punk was a side dish

>sport continues to grow
>UFC makes dosh
>mandrama fag gets humiliated by a rookie
>WWE ratings continue to plummet
sure
>>1768234
I'm only a casual MMA fan but look at the historical buy rates and what else was on the card, they would of done 500 to 600k without Punk. They've milked this cash cow dry with the beatdown.
I came for Punk, but stayed for Rivera.
and he saw none of that because his name wasn't on the ppv
>UFCucks still have to hire professional wrestlers for anyone to care about their "sport"
Pathetic.
based Phil is a draw
>>1768198
He WAS a draw. But micky blew his load and ruined phils chances of a rematch or another fight.
>came to see CM Puke get beat up
>rest of the show was so fucking boring that I'm never going to watch another one again
good going
the few interesting bits that come out of UFC end up in webms and Youtube compilations anyway, who the fuck would pay for this shit
>>1768730
I think ufc is for douchebags that want to be cool and beat their chest, it has literally no entertainment value.
>>1768230
Why would I watch a single second of UFC other than the guy I want to see getting beaten getting beaten? All the rest is a bunch of literally whos hugging it out.
>>1768198
Based CM GOAT
>>1768967
>Based CM GOAT
>>1768254
he has bonuses depending on buys
>>1768213
Nice b8 m8.
Eat shit spic.

>phil will still be a draw after getting wasted in under 3 minutes
>you will never waste two whole years of your life and spend thousands upon thousands of dollars of your own money just to embarrass yourself, get absolutely fucking humiliated, have your ass kicked, be forced to choke on your own words, have your reputation burn up in flames, shatter your self-esteem, and be exposed for being a pathetic, whiny, weak, fraudulent faggot in front of almost twenty thousand people in person and over a million watching live from around the world, forever memorializing this event in history, never to let you live it down, all in the span of two minutes and fourteen seconds
Feels fucking great, my man.

That nigga got paid 500k and already had a pretty stellar wrestling career. Dude made out like a fucking bandit. If you paid me 500k to get ass ravaged on tv for 2 mins by micky gall i'd do it without a second thought
