If Bo Nickal replaces Costa an they get close or over 1M buys?

Khamzat against short notice replacements:

It’s going to be Chimaev vs. Aliskerov 2.
 
No. Only fighters like Brock and Conor can pull 1M buys. Not even Jones pulls those type of numbers
Even with Islam-Volk 2, I still doubt they reach close to 1 million buys. That would be bigger than fights like Jones vs DC 2

The time difference doesn't help matters either since it's Americans that buy PPVs.I don't think any overseas card has ever notched a million buys.

....the majority of them still begin at the same time 7pm EST.
 
No.
Absolutely not.
Not even remotely fucking close.

There were 2 and a half fights that fans gave a flying fuck about on this card.

BOTH of those fights seem to be falling thru

And the card is a 2pm est daytime card.


It would be a miracle if this card does half of that.

UFC 193 Rousey vs Holly Holm
Did 1.1mil according to Tapology.

It was in Melbourne Austrailia.

*** They ran it at 10pm est PPV start time
Which I would imagine probably meant a fucked up local start time, which the UFC was generally pretty willing to fuck international fans over with prior to the ESPN+ deal with its built in safety net payment deal.
(I think UFC gets paid a min of the amount a 400k buy ppv.)


As far as I know that is the one and only UFC 1m+ PPV which was held outside US.

Even if Nutshot Nickal wanted to, the UFC wouldn't and shouldn't let him. They haven't advertised him nearly enough, and it's short notice so they can't even advertise him properly on this card, and also it's a giant step up in competition so it risks (and by risks, I mean guarantees) getting their golden goose killed way too early
