Apparently Gilbert Melendez is going to be on his way to Bellator with a fairly lucrative deal.  The UFC has the right to match, but Dana already said Gil makes too much money.   
There is a chit storm brewing.

			is UFC 170 going to be the lowest buy rate UFC in forever?
 Women's Bantamweight	Ronda Rousey (c)	vs.	Sara McMann
 Light Heavyweight	Daniel Cormier	vs.	Patrick Cummins
 Welterweight	Rory MacDonald	vs.	Demian Maia
 Welterweight	Mike Pyle	vs.	TJ Waldburger
 Welterweight	Robert Whittaker	vs.	Stephen Thompson
 
 
 all buy only 4 fighters on the main card are coming off a loss and only 3 fighters have been on the main card of a PPV in their last fight.
 
 I literally don't care about any of this card except the Maia/Rory fight, and that ones going to be a snoozer

			I'm curious how many buys that card will get. A lot of ppl (a few here) thinks rousey is a huge draw. Even if she is. I dont think she's enough.  Atleast more ppl will want to watch bones fight I think especially after that Gus fightPosted via RS Mobile

 |  Any of the best draws still need a good opponent to draw. GSP can do 1 million buys if he has an opponent like Nick Diaz. Or he can do 600K with a Johny Hendricks or Condit. Anderson Silva can do 1 million co-maining in a rematch with Weidman after semi-retiring, while his normal title defenses do around 450K  
Similarly, Ronda can do 1 million buys as the co-main with Tate, or 450K with Liz Carmouche  
Meanwhile, Bones is doing 300-350K without Chael, CV can do around 350K average, and smaller guys like Faber/Aldo and Ben Henderson barely cracking 300K.  
I predict this one will do 350K, and Bones will be around 300K. Weidman/Belfort will be around 250K

I agree, even with the fight choice.  I usually pay for all the fight cards and have friends come over.  Think I may just go to the bar for this one.

i'm hoping lawler will win...  
when is matt brown's next fight? i want to see him back in action. he was out due to injury right?

			Of the 3, I think Vitor/Weidman will be most popular with hardcore fans, but mainstream I am not sold on either of them being a draw yet. Maybe this is the one that will prove me wrong    |   |   |   |      |  02-19-2014, 07:36 PM | #765 |   | Hacked RS to become a mod

			I have to side with Dana here. If a fighter is on a facebook card or a fight pass card, and he has problems finding sponsors, that's not UFC's problem. Sponsors will want to pay for advertising that reaches the most viewers, and that means sponsoring more established fighters. If you are a new or shitty fighter who is on an undercard, you're going to have less sponsors. That's the fighter's issue, separate from anything else.
 As for the 'sponsor tax' it is only there for clothing lines
