Do TUF fans have more money?

Traveller · 07-09-2006, 12:24 PM

I always hear that the TUF fans suck because they boo at the shows....why aren't the 'real' fans going to the shows?

Are the TUF fans loaded or are they just more willing to cut other expenses out to go see the fights live?

Would the sport go belly up if the TUF fans and their money went away?

I also wonder if the 'real' fans wouldn't boo as well because it seems everyone on here does a lot of itching about fighters, fights and promotions.

Also if only TUF fans go to the events, will that mean that they won't care about Wand and the UFC may not be able to sell out that fight?

I think so, so yes.

I don't think it's the TUF fans, it's the wannabe celebrity Vegas crowd that fill up most of the UFCs.

What about the California crowd? They were booing too and they were huge fans of Forrest over Tito.

lol, good post.

Most Sherdoggers constantly bitch about how they can't even afford the PPV, how in the hell could they afford to go to the actual event?

Yet they don't see why Dana ignores Sherdog. Sherdog posters ARE BROKE! Sherdog posters go as far as bitching about Sherdog charging for some features, they bitch about everything!!

I am MMA fan with (TUF included in that) its got nothing to do with what interests you have, its to do with what type of person you are, people who boo at these shows should either get chucked out, or thrown into the ring by security, to boo at the fighters, and see how long they can last.

Money does seem to be a big issue on these boards.

Even if the building was all hardcore fans last night the result would have been the same. I hate the UFC live fans for the constant booing of non american fighters, ground work etc but you can't blame them for booing last night. They paid a lot of money for a shitty ass card.

I think it's just that 90% of UFC "fans" don't know their asses from a hole in the ground. They just go to the event because they want to see blood and knockouts.

That 90% just overpowers the rest of the crowd.
