Wtf that was a seriously sick card...I guess we know why they're going back to 10 o'clock start times 
4 th event in a row. 2 weeks after a PPV. Low key headliners. I mean Maynard is a master on the mic but the rest were not great promoters.
people have no moneys
I think the tim had a lot to do with it bcz a lot of ppl are still working around that time and if the event had started 1 hour before try could see it they rather not buy it.

Still waiting for source on this 175k PPV Buys.
$54.95!! A lot of die hards that I work with refuse to pay that much!!! Not too long ago the price was $39.95!!That's a 37.5% increase in price!! They have a point!

Wikipedia UFC 136...anything under 300 shocks me...that card was stacked from top to bottom and def delivered...no way I wasn't ordering that one...I'm on the fence about 137 now though
I am surprised by the numbers. Easily the best card of the year IMO.

Why can't they have diff prices for different cards? Doesn't make sense you have to pay the same amount when you lose a main event...that's worth at least 10 bucks

There is no source cited in the Wiki article. I don't trust these numbers.
Zuffa doesn't release their PPV numbers, all of this is speculation with no source

I'm sure that's a pretty close estimate...like i said anything under 300k is crazy for such a card...I hope I'm proven wrong though
Who said it was 175,000??
Not surprising...people are broke, the world is going to shit and $55 gets really fucking old showing up on my cable bill.
There are just too many UFC PPV's so people are having to pick and choose which events they want to pay for. You buy one or two in a month and factor in the taxes and surcharges on top of that and your cable bill is through the fucking roof.
Most people are going to pass on an Edgar/Maynard PPV and hold out for a GSP or Silva PPV if they're only a month or two apart.
UFC 136 was one of the best cards I've seen a while though. Too bad so many had to miss out on seeing it live.
edgar and maynard have no personality at all, casual fans don't care for them.
Most people didn't care for Frankie/Gray 2, which is why nearly half the tickets were comped, and the buy rate was terrible for that one as well. It was a jackass move to have them headline again.

Yeah personally I put aside however much I'll need each month to watch whatever cards I want...invite a few buddies over for 5 bucks and I only end up dropping around 20 usually...134 135 and 136 all had to be ordered...137 is a tough call now though
stop making excuses fanboys, boxing rules =D
There is a case to be made for overexposure.
