The vast majority of combat sports fans are Mexican. This is why its important to have big Mexican names. Other wise, you have to be a McGregor or Pacquiao who's loved by Mexicans as an honorary Mexican
ConorWinsTheRematch -The only fighter on the UFC roster who is selling out Dallas Stadium is Conor McGregor. Other wise you need a big Mexican name. Tony and Nate aren't marketed as Mexican fighters, so I would expect them to under perform at the box office. Especially Tony. People dont even know Tony is actually Mexican, and that his last name comes from his step dad. I dont see Tony/Nate or any other fights involving them selling out the arena, unless its Conor vs either of them. Perhaps Cejudo could once he starts becoming a name. Jones vs DC 3 would do terrible at Dallas Stadium lol. Yair Rodriguez would do very well. Hes still pretty popular. I say do Conor vs Tony at Dallas Stadium, and make Yair the comain. That would sell out the arena within 20 minutes flat. Fun fact: Conor would still be the fan favourite over Tony there. Conor-mania is truly a beautiful thing. Everyone from every race and culture loves Conor. If you live in southern cali, you will know how Conor is absolutely beloved by mexicans. Only 2 combat sports athletes have ever really been loved by Mexicans, and that's Pacquiao and Conor. Conor would be treated as an honorary Mexican at Dallas stadium, and be the #1 fan favorite. Yair would do really well as Conor's co main there
The amount of times you said Dallas Stadium annoyed me
ConorWinsTheRematch -ABCTT_HeHitsMeBecauseHeLovesMe -ConorWinsTheRematch -ABCTT_HeHitsMeBecauseHeLovesMe -The ufc has multiple stars bigger than Mikey and Errol.
Mikey and Spence didnt even come close to selling out Dallas Stadium. Yet you think anyone in the UFC will? Lol. Mikey was a solid Mexican name. The Garcia family name too. He brought in the majority of ticket sales, and yet it still wasnt enough. The only fighter selling out Dallas Stadium is Conor McGregor. If not Conor, then it has to be a big Mexican name. The big Mexican names are all in boxing. Cejudo and Yair are the only ones with the potential down the line. I would like to see Conor headline Dallas Stadium with Yair and Diego Sanchez on his card
I never said they'd sell it out. If were talking about selling it out like over 100,000 people in Texas, Conor ain't doing that shit either. You don't have to sell it out to go there.
You're delusional if you think Conor isnt selling out that stadium to the brink. I guarantee you that they would have to increase capacity if Conor headline Dallas Stadium. Also, you need to sell out a lot, period. It would look awful if the UFC booked anyone else not named Conor, and they only sold 1/3 of the stadium. In fact, thats probably even being generous. There is no UFC fighter today who is selling more then 1/3 of that stadium. Only Conor McGreor is selling out Dallas stadium. Heck, in boxing, only Canelo would be a really sure fire bet to sell out the arena and more too.
No. Maybe in Ireland he could sell out a stadium. 0 chance he sells out Cowboys Stadium. You're fucking delusional if you think Conor is an "honorary mexican". Conor fans are almost universally the annoying, douchy, white frat-boy type.
the 'UFC event in Cowboys Stadium' trope dates back at least to the 'Will #1 Heavyweight Fedor sign with the UFC?' days... amazing!
I'd be surprised if the ufc could sell half the seats no matter who was on the card. Then, after this dumbass event was over there wouldn't be another decent card for a year.
JitznPound -RKing85 -No Conor would mean a ton of empty seats. And even with Conor, I don't think they would sell it out. There would be a shit ton of people there though still.
and as always, fuck a 165 division. Stupid.
It only seems stupid to you because you can't wrap your peanut sized brain around the concept.
more weight cutting disasters? Check.
Matches that could be made with a 165 division that couldn’t be made now? Nope.
