If they secure Bas for the card, mixed with Rampage/Lindland main event, and a ton of other establishes fighters on the card - they will sell some PPVs. They've got the money for promotion, the internet is going to be behind them more than any other company because of who they've got (Bas, Rampage, Mayhem alone are 3 of the most "loved" fighters by the internet "die-hard" clan)
If that's true, this whole promotion has all the right pieces in place and is gonna do some serious business. I'm really excited for the rest of the card to be made official so I can see if this is true. If it is, I'll be anticipating this PPV as much as any PRIDE or UFC in recent memory. Bas's return is huge for me as I probably know him the best in person, and I've always hoped for him to return as I didn't really follow his Pancrase or even his UFC run as they were happening. I always mark out for a good Rampage fight, and he's got one here. Mayhem is always a blast to watch. Finally get to see this Lyoto guy live.
