GUESS THIS WSNT SUCH A WATCHED BOUGHT FIGHT
A
Saturday’s “UFC 131: Dos Santos vs. Carwin” did not do as well as the promotion's previous trip to Vancouver, however, ticket sales picked up in the final lead up to the event and exceeded initial expectations.
UFC 131 ended up drawing a respectable attendance of 14,685 spectators which is the lowest attended Canadian show to date, but with the town buzzing over Stanley Cup fever within the same Arena, it is better than most analysts predicted.
With 14,685 in attendance the live gate total is estimated at around $2.8 million.
On the fighter’s end of the monetary spectrum, the UFC gave out $70,000 fight night bonus amounts to four UFC 131 competitors.
Stout earned the night's "Knockout of the Night" award, Weidman picked up the "Submission of the Night" bonus, and Herman and Einemo took home "Fight of the Night" honors.
