PPV spada. coraz mniej sprzedaja. 136 z Aldo, ogolnie lekkimi - 250 000. tam byly dwie walki mistrzowskie. nie moge tego stwierdzic jednoznacznie, ale pojawiaja sie glosy, ze to byl blad. ze to juz za duzo. te walki bardzie interesuja srodowisko, niz masowego fana. ja jestem masowym fanem. nie lubie tego ogladac. za mali jak dla mnie.
Takie farmazony pleciesz, ze szkoda pisac prawie. Zacznijmy od tego, ze Ty niczego nie mozesz "stwierdzic jednoznacznie", bo stan wiedzy jaka prezentujesz po prostu Ci to uniemozliwiac.
Co mial do powiedzenia Meltzer po UFC 136:
: Yeah, I would say the estimate right now is 225-250 [thousand]. There's a lot of reasons, I don't think there's one prevailing reason (
why UFC136 did poorly - przyp. Z06). I actually did a survey on my own website asking people who usually buy why they didn't and web streaming came up as the strongest reason but there were other reasons. The other strong reasons had to do with the card itself not so much with Edgar and Maynard but just this idea of lack of star power on the card even though I actually thought the card was deeper than most and just basically the overall card itself didn't intrigue people. I think Edgar and Maynard wasn't a match that people go out of their way to see. The second match was great, the draw was a debatable decision so it made sense to bring it back obviously but, and again, I think Edgar and
Anthony Pettis, I don't know if it would have done any better or any worse, I just think that Edgar as champion, Edgar as champion is not a draw. Maybe he will at some point but he's not right now and Maynard as challenger wasn't a draw. I think two weeks between shows hurt. I think that was a part of it as well. I think there's just a lot of factors really.

Przyklejanie tego na rozszerzenie UFC o nizsze jest nie tylko nielogiczne, ale wrecz idiotyczne - w koncu do UFC przyciagaja gwiazdy (GSP, Lesnar, BJ Penn, przedtem Liddell), badz ciekawe/nakrecone pojedynki (np. Evans vs Rampage, Silva vs Sonnen). Wagi ponizej lekkiej potrzebuja czasu, zeby dorobic sie gwiazd - po prostu, promocja na rozne sposoby zajmuje czas, oddajac glos Meltzerowi:
Also, Aldo and Florian, the reality is, we all knew going into this year that featherweights and bantamweights weren't going to draw at first. They have to establish the guys as stars and they have to kind of establish the weight class. I was thinking that two championship matches, that's pretty strong. Sonnen and
Brian Stann at the top is actually stronger than most but the reality is people didn't see either of those title matches as being that strong and Sonnen versus Stann wasn't really promoted that hard because all the focal points were on the two title matches. Aldo, I think people don't know
Jose Aldo. I know he's super talented but they just don't know him yet and they're not really into that championship.
I don't know that promoting Stann and Sonnen harder would have made a difference, but I do know from the anecdotal and end poll that I did on my own site, the fight that people were most interested in was Sonnen and Stann and not Edgar and Maynard. To me, that is kinda evidence that sometimes you have championship fights, I'm not saying that they shouldn't be in the main event slot but you should promote that as hard or harder. The UFC has shown many, many times Lesnar and Mir's first fight, Shamrock and Ortiz's second fight were both non-title matches I believe and they were obviously the money matches on those shows and both of those shows had heavyweight title matches on the card I remember with
Tim Sylvia with in both cases. I remember people saying, "Oh, it's unfair, they should promote the heavyweight championship, not this non-title match but the reality is if they put all their efforts into the heavyweight title matches and ignore the non-title match, they wouldn't have done any business for either of those shows. This is not quite at that level but maybe that might have made a little bit of a difference and maybe not. The two weeks between shows was a real key element, though. I'm positive of that.
