    UFC 139 - 270k buys

    PPV numbers keep disappointing, even after being plugged on FOX, hopefully the trend continues

    I guess having 8 million people watch didn't help

    Fox was not about 139, it was about 141.

    140 will probably do closer to 225k but Lesnar/Overeem should do over 750k. For the year, they'll be way down compared to last year. Definitely a concern moving forward since they keep saying it's the bread and butter of their business.

        All I remember was one or two of those 30 second spots.

        Throwing out there names of unknown guys to the casual people was never going to pop the number for 139.

        Which is why they had Brock on the panel promoting his stuff.

          fixed

          Terrible fight, terrible decision by FOX to run that risk, terrible job by Dana being pushed around by a network after years of refusing to allow that and delaying a big network deal because of it.

          In short, terrible.

            oh, and I love the posting outburst by rob on Thanksgiving after being MIA the last few days. He must be hiding from Aunt Thelma and Uncle Bob.
