Title: Lesnar is a bigger draw than Conor McGregor
Post by: Mr.1derful on July 05, 2016, 08:50:39 PM

McGregor is a very big draw in his own right, made even more impressive for being the 145 champ, which isn't typically a big drawing division.  That said, Lesnar is still the PPV king and it will be proven at UFC 200.  A stacked card, but aside from Lesnar, where is the drawing power?  Neither Cormier nor Jones are huge draws as numbers show, and unlike UFC 100, GSP is not on the card.  Lesnar will be getting paid huge and didn't have to jump through the same media hoops they wanted Conor to.  The UFC was able to push Conor aside to put him in his place, being they were able to bring Lesnar back.  Lesnar is able to set his terms, be it WWE or UFC.

I think that McGregor was humbled greatly when he realized that the UFC had signed Lesnar to fight at UFC 200

I bet that McGregor's balls raised back up into his body cavity for a few days (after hearing the news).

The UFC champs turn over too fast for anyone to care to remember who is the champ-du-jour.

We'll see once the PPV numbers come in.  My guess is UFC 200 will be the biggest buy rate to date.

Dana White knows that Lesnar will put up bigger PPV numbers; that's why the UFC went after Brock after McGregor "retired" for 72 hours. Or was it 96 hours?

Then, after his lengthy retirement, McGregor tried to get back on the UFC 200 card... but Lorenzo Fertita said no. He was too busy signing Lesnar.


Edit- this was such big news that Lesnar was flown to the ESPN studios where he announced his opponent live on ESPN. ESPN wanted the exclusive. I've never seen anything like that before.

Lesnar is always a big deal and a big draw.
