UFC 239 was a success because of card not stars

Dana was pointing at the success of 239 having something to do with Amanda and Jon's starpower. 

 

Im willing to bet more people bought it because it offered 5 quality fights. The first 2 fights could have easily headlined any ESPN card and the last 3 could have all headlined a PPV if needed. The UFC has more than enough fighters to make each card have Atleast 4 quality fights with names. I don't think people want to pay for a good main event and 3 or 4 fights that should be on the prelim. 

 

Ill take a card with 4 or 5 good fights with popular fighters over a main event with 1 star and 3 or 4 prelim level fights anyday.
