Bare Knuckle FC 6 headlined by Paulie Malignaggi vs. Artem Lobov reportedly did not do as well as claimed by president David Feldman.

The highly-awaited grudge match took place late last month that saw Lobov come away with the unanimous decision victory. Feldman recently told MMA Junkie that the event was trending towards 200,000 pay-per-view (PPV) buys, which would represent a huge success for the promotion.

However, according to MMA Fighting’s Dave Meltzer, it was in the range of 18,000 buys, at least on traditional television PPV. While the event was also broadcast online on FITE TV, Meltzer notes that “it is extremely rare that a pay-per-view event that airs on television does nearly the same number on digital.” The normal number seems to be 15 percent additionally on digital, but even that would be far from the 200,000 estimate of Feldman.

When it comes to Google searches, BKFC did 200,000 searches, which notably beat UFC Greenville which took place the same night. In addition, of the 18,000 buys, roughly 37.5 perecent were from UFC fans who had ordered UFC 235. Roughly 22.6 percent of the number also ordered the September rematch between Canelo Alvarez and Gennady Golovkin.

Feldman has yet to comment on these new PPV estimates, but it would be interesting to hear what he has to say.

Last month (Sat. June 22, 2019) Bare-Knuckle FC (BKFC) held its biggest event to date.

The BKFC 6 pay-per-view (PPV) went down from the Florida State Fairgrounds in Tampa, Florida. In the main event of the night, former UFC star Artem Lobov stepped into the ring against former boxing world champion Paulie Malignaggi.

Both men put on five hard-fought rounds following a rivalry that became extremely personal in the months leading up to the contest. When it was all said and done, however, the pair showed nothing but respect for one another. BKFC President David Feldman spoke to MMA Junkie recently to speak on the success of the BKFC 6 PPV.

Feldman noted that the PPV is trending around 200,000 buys at the moment:

“We got our digital numbers right away,” Feldman said. “In April, we did a certain amount, and in June, we did six times that digitally. It’s given us a gauge that we’re going to end up at the 200,000 line.”

The BKFC figurehead also mentioned that he believes the event proved BKFC isn’t’ about boxing vs. MMA, but instead serves as a middle ground for the two sports:

“I think what it did is it showed this is truly a middle ground,” Feldman said. “It’s not really boxing versus MMA. It’s a pretty good middle ground. Each and every one of these fighters have an equal chance of beating anybody. Most people didn’t think Artem had a chance at all.

“A lot of the guys that said we’re a gimmick and won’t be around, well, one year later, we’re around and we’re more popular than ever, and we’re picking up steam,” he concluded.”
