Million Man March drew millions
black people > pride

[pure_awesome]

Great Galloping Ghosts, Batman! Look at the fluctuation!

[tinobar]

the highest paid attendence ever for a pride show is that shockwave well it probably did well cause of k-1 more than pride itself. Pride cant bring the ppl like k-1.Anyways it was beacuse it inoki planned it and was behind it no way pride gets that many ppl again.Pride has just tried to copy off inoks brilliance but they cant duplicate it.

INOKI>pride

[wrestler145]

there is lot of fluctuation. pretty interesting. i also thought it was cool that Pride 7 and 8 were within five people of having the same attendance.

That's partially true. K-1 had alot to do with it and especially Antonio Inoki. Anything with Inoki will draw alot of people.

If the numbers were believeable it would be very interesting....

Fluctuation is due to lower attendance at Bushidos. Also, some halls and arenas in different cities hold less people. Nagoya Rainbow Hall holds less than 10k people so they're not going to have 40k people like you would have at Saitama Super Arena or the Tokyo Dome. Pride wants to hold shows all around Japan and not just Tokyo (Tokyo Dome and Saitama are in Tokyo area).

Smaller cards like Bushido are okay in Osaka or Nagoya because they probably wouldn't fill Saitama much less Tokyo dome if they had an event with that card.

Their version of UFN draws as much as UFC main cards.
