UFC 104 Buyrate Prediction: 398,000 : MMAPayout.com: The Business of MMA

That is much lower than I was expecting I had 104 at around 500-600,000

I'm glad it was that low, considering...

Why? Machida and Shogun weren't exactly huge draws, and the rest of the card didn't exactly have star power.

I sooo knew it would do a poor buy-rate.

UFC still made a hella lot of money, I don't think anyone on that card had a percent PPV deal.

But Machida is one of the largest UFC draws!!!

Going off released statistics, the last time the UFC did only 400,000 buys was at the start of 2007 for Anderson vs Lutter. The UFC doesn't make it's sales statistics public, so I don't really know what to believe.

It has no source. Just speculation from countdown view numbers, etc.
We don't know whether the site's calculation algorithm is reliable or not.
We should wait closer estimate of PPV buys from Meltzer.

if your name is not lesnar you probably ain't drawing more than 500k. them rednecks pro-wrestling fiends may not know where their next meal is coming from but they always find a way to come up with $45 for their ppvs.
