I buy every card, and have for years now. However, I have no intentions of buying the next one, or any other card that the coward gets a dollar of ppv revenue from.

I would have bought it. Hendo is one of my all time favorites and Jones is to good to see on a stream.
I got real lucky. My birthday was Sunday and the Mrs. and I considered flying to Vegas to watch Hendo live. We had already seen him fight in St. Louis against Babulu.
I am with Donosaur, at least I got to see my college team dominate.

I was planning to buy this and watch while the girlfriend grumbles. Whatever man, this for me was an awesome looking card! Hell, I wasn't even going to drink while watching and I only watch events alone or with the girlfriend anymore.

HOSS-Bork, you should spend more time brushing up on your MMA history, and less time complementing guys on how young their penises taste.

It's interesting, that 3rd option is the one that (clearly this is loose) signifies lost $ due to a weak card. I've always wondered how much of the fluctuation in PPV is due to the card, and how much of it is do to outside factors... And, clearly, the main event does count for a lot.

I would have streamed it, although I "usually" buy them.
For me to buy a PPV nowadays its got to either A.) be a good all round card, B.) Have some sort or amazing superfight im really interested in, or C.) Be a special occassion, like a birthday or something.
151 wasnt a good all round card. And it wasnt on a special occassion for me. And Jones/Hendo is a good fight...but not "one for the ages" imo. If the card would've had a couple more meaningfull fights then I would have most likely bought it.
But Zuffa isnt getting $60 out of me by throwing Jones/Hendo on after 3 hours of undercard-type fights.

I believe that Stream Illegally and Watch at a Bar should have been different choices, as one of the two still provides a stream of revenue to the company.
