UFC 117: How many buys?

[Warner2BruceTD]

Silva vs. Sonnen without Sonnen going apeshit, probably in the 300k range.

But my patented buzz-o-meter is off the charts thanks to the one man promotional machine talking shit, ripping Lance Armstrong, lying on national TV, and calling Portugeuse "one step up from pig latin".

Silva's quiet calm is actaully the perfect foil for all of this. He's literally says NOTHING. It would be too cliche if he talked shit back. We've seen that all before. He says NOTHING, which makes the idea that HE WANTS TO KILL HIM seem all the more real.

So what does it do? Clearly, it's going to be big. But how big? I'm having a hard time with this one.

Anywhere between 10k to 3 million, give or take a couple mill

I think Dana will tell the pro wrestling blogger to report around the 700k to 800k range

ESPN has been talking about it all week, has done interviews with both guys, and has shown the highlights of both guys (Silva's being the most impressive to balance his calm demeanor). I'd say it will net 800k+.
