Empty Seats at SSA, Dream doomed from the start.

We always heard from the Pride nut riders that pride was great because they packed a 40k seat arena, and it didnt matter that they didnt have a tv deal or sell PPVs, bla bla bla.

Well, Dream cant even fill the stadium, if anyone of you UFC bashing fruits didnt have your blinders on you might have noticed that the entire upper half of the arena was dead empty. Not a soul in sight, and there were even empty seats on the lower tier. If Dream cant fill that arena they must not have much interest from the Japanese fans. Pride could not survive on a full house, Dream is doomed to fail if they dont start filling those seats.

Valid points hopefully when people hear about the quality of the last event they'll fill it for dream 4.

Oh noes! Their 3rd event and they haven't sold out yet. Yes, there are many obstacles in creating a premeire MMA organization... it takes time Val Kilmer, time... so chill, I can tell by your agenda/intentions that you're probably a UFC fanboy yourself with the whole "UFC bashing fruits," and "Pride nut riders" but I'll give you the benefit of the doubt, GTFO.

Why any self-proclaimed mma "fan" would want to see any mma promotion fold up and die is beyond me. The more MMA the better IMO.

Well, besides YAMMA maybe.

good post
its their 3rd event, compare that to the shit job rest of the small orgs are doing
and
I guess the TS judge the org base on attendance rates not on quality of the fights

since DREAM is doomed and isnt good enough for you because only UFC is, go back to the Heavyweights
