In a UFC on Fox 1 press conference, it was announced UFC prelim fights will move from Facebook to Fuel TV. F***! I still don’t know what channel that is.
Zuffa is laying down $16 million for UFC on Fox 1. Lorenzo Fertitta told Sports Business Journal:
When we were on Spike TV, that was a launching pad. We look at Fox as a bigger and better platform that could elevate the brand. We’re flat out going to lose money on this fight. But that’s the investment we’re making. Those are the steps we’ve got to take to make Cain and Junior pay-per-view stars and lift up the whole thing. Maybe we think a little funny here, but that’s well worth forgoing $16 million. Take that out over the next 10 years and we get a healthy return.
Dana White admits to SI.com he is “nervous” about UFC on Fox 1. White says:
“As big as the UFC may seem, it’s not. We’re so far from mainstream still, and now we’ve been given the opportunity to do it. That’s why Saturday is so important. It feels good and I’m excited, yeah, but I’m nervous, man. I’m excited and I’m nervous, and I don’t like to be nervous.”
With all the UFC buzz in LA, some wanna be fighters got in the early swing of things and beat Avril Lavigne‘s ass last night [pic below] outside of the Roosevelt Hotel. Lavigne tweeted: ““I got attacked by 5 people last night out of nowhere. Not cool. My face is fucked.” And she’s right. That’s not cool.
Georges St. Pierre told a french press outlet: Agence France-Presse that he makes between 4 and 5 million for a UFC pay-per-view event. When asked if he is the highest paid fighter, GSP replied ”.
Georges St. Pierre told a french press outlet: Agence France-Presse that he makes between 4 and 5 million for a UFC pay-per-view event. When asked if he is the highest paid fighter, GSP replied ” I do not know, but I learned that the UFC makes the most money on Pay Per View when I am fighting. That made me smile!”
GSP also went on to explain the financial coo to the city which hosts one of his fights. “For me, a fight is [worth] $4 to $5 million. And in the city where the UFC holds its events, they are economic benefits [to the city] of between $15 to $20 million. It’s huge!”
In recent years, the majority of St. Pierre’s fights have been held in either a Canadian province or in the city of Las Vegas. Maybe Nick Diaz should have lobbied to get their fight in Stockton, and get that city a little cash flow.
If there’s ever a night we may see hair pulling in the UFC, it will be Saturday night’s Clay Guida vs. Ben Henderson bout for UFC on Fox 1. It is Clay Guida who is in the.
If there’s ever a night we may see hair pulling in the UFC, it will be Saturday night’s Clay Guida vs. Ben Henderson bout for UFC on Fox 1. It is Clay Guida who is in the online sportsbooks as a (+190) underdog to Ben Henderson who comes in as a (-240) favorite. What is the reasoning for the sportsbooks to have this big a line gap between the two? It’s a little confusing, considering the match-up is fairly even. Although, Ben Henderson has won his first two fights in the UFC, they have gone to decision, whereas up until the Anthony Pettis fight, Guida had been on a 3 wins-by-submission streak. He also kept Pettis on his back for most of the night leading to his decision win. Pettis is Ben Henderson’s only loss in almost four years.
Guida is a good value to lay your cash down. And even though, it’s likely we won’t really get to see either opponent’s face, (I sure hope their hair doesn’t get tangled in one another) it is going to be a great fight. Too bad, many of us will have to watch it on our notebook computers. Log into UFC on Facebook or Fox.com to see Guida vs. Henderson.
