UFC 94 makes a lot of money

The Las Vegas Sun is reporting that UFC 94: St. Pierre vs Penn was the UFC's biggest event yet.

While official numbers have yet to be released, White said he expected UFC 94 to surpass both UFC 91 (Randy Couture-Brock Lesnar) and UFC 92 (The Ultimate 2008) as the top-selling pay-per-view event in the organization's history, with more than 1.3 million buys (which would top the 1.25 million pay-per-views that the Oscar De La Hoya-Manny Pacquiao "Dream Match" in December generated).

The company's record of 1.05 million sales came when Chuck Liddell and Tito Ortiz squared off for the second time at UFC 66 in 2006.

Should Saturday's attendance number of 14,885 fans at the MGM Grand hold up, the event would become the highest-attended UFC fight in Las Vegas. Not to mention the $4.3 million live gate, would be good for sixth all-time.

So the show which was hyped to be the biggest of all time and even came with its own three part primetime show was a huge success. Shocking. You can't tell, but my jaw just hit the floor and my tongue rolled out. That is how shocked I am by this shocking news.
