So if this falls through they'll presumably have to pay a lot of cash for Tito right? Assuming he has points.

Honestly I don't really think it makes much of a difference. The handful of people getting that PPV were probably going to get it for Rampage anyhow.

I've seen every episode of Bellator this season and last season, and I still had to google Will Brooks because I couldn't remember what he looked like. This thing is going to crater.

Don't forget that Patricky "Freire" Putbull is off the card too, so two of the matches you would expect to be good are off.

Ariel Helwani @arielhelwani 1m Rebney says the PPV card is "as good as it gets." Ariel Helwani @arielhelwani 13m Rebney: it's remaining on PPV because it's a PPV-worthy card. It's a must-see event. We've gone from utterly spectacular to spectacular. Do fight promoters practice lying like this?

bokamotoESPN posted:Eddie Alvarez said that when he does return for Bellator, "It will be on PPV, for sure." A) Does this mean Alvarez's contract requires a ppv defense B) Does this mean that after this PPV tanks utterly they're going to have to either do yet ANOTHER one or let Alvarez's contract expire?

Alvarez's understanding of his contract is that his next fight has to be on PPV. Also in the same interview he says he wasn't too worried about his concussion because last time he trained for Chandler he got knocked out and just took 2 weeks off. It explains a lot.

ppv carrier costs, loss of broadcast fees and ad revenue or whatever they have in their Viacom contract, someone's dog

Fozzy The Bear posted:Does it cost anything to move a show that would have normally been on free TV to PPV? I can't remember the exact numbers, but it's rumored that the UFC has to do about 150k buys in order to break even on any PPV. That probably varies card to card, but it's hard to see how Bellator's PPV gets anywhere near that. Zach Arnold, for all his flaws, said 50k buys is the make-or-break level but even that is going to be unlikely.

Despite having a shorter career and taking less damage, Mo seems to have declined significantly more than Rampage. Actually considering everything, it's remarkable how relatively little Rampage had declined.
