Some updates on PPV numbers. UFC 114 (Quinton Jackson vs. Rashad Evans) based on the latest cable estimates is at 1,050,000 buys putting it at No. 2 on the company’s all-time list (well, tied with the 2006 Chuck Liddell vs. Tito Ortiz match). That’s up from the first day estimates. As far as confirmation, trending patterns indicated a big number, but not quite that big (maybe 850,000) but the reports on bar traffic (through the roof, very close to that of UFC 100) would coincide with the larger number.
Wow, that is more than most expected it to do. The initial estimates were around 900k. I think it is safe to say the UFC has considerable momentum right now. Last year, the UFC did eight million buys and it seems a safe bet they will pass that this year.
Estimated buy rates of late:
UFC 115: 520,000
UFC 114: 1,050,000
UFC 113 520,000
UFC 112 500,000
UFC 111 770,000
