Satisfactory Essays

Not even financial woes concerning UFC 217’s ticket sales could divert George “Rush” St-Pierre’s (GSP) attention to his goal of defeating Michael “The Count” Bisping and having the UFC middleweight championship belt wrapped around his waist on November 4 at Madison Square Garden. MMA Junkie relayed GSP’s statement that he would rather win his fight and make zero dollars than the other way around by losing his fight and earning his profit. According to UFC commentator Joe Rogan, the pay-per-view’s ticket sales are not going well as expected, yet UFC President Dana White explained that GSP required a reintroduction to the sport’s followers after a long layoff. In the end, only live gate and pay-per-view figures will determine UFC 217’s success.
