Bjorn Rebney thinks UFC 156 is going to tank (under 200K PPVs).

I don't know how much of a source Bleacher Report is, but that's what I have for now (was tweeted by MMA Junkie's Steve Morrocco, so I guess it's legit)

I can't fathom what would lead ANYONE to believe that card won't pull good numbers.

Once he remembers what's so special about Bellator, which is their place as "the little promotion that could" and not try and be create any sort of rivalry with the UFC he'll go back to using his very sharp brain.
@JudoRandori, he's basing his "prediction" solely on his estimation of Frankie Edgar as a PPV draw (and even that, only based on what they sold @ UFC 150 which wasn't the most star-studded card after the main and co-main events - Max Holloway on the main card, as much as I like him kinda tells the story). Not saying I agree with him or anything, just stating where he's coming from to help you fathom :) ... he's just forgetting a few more "little" pieces of that card and the fact that even if Edgar isn't the biggest draw on his own right he's fighting an opponent who is, in a highly anticipated matchup. That's before you even start talking about Suga and Übereem's PPV "draw-power".
I see no way this card sells less that 400K PPVs (and I'm being very conservative here).

I wonder what kind of numbers Bjorn Rebney thinks a Bellator PPV would do? 10k? Cause he says they're planing one.
"He told me he was going to **** me, but was disappointed in himself when he could not get hard."

Depends on who is on the card, but I think they have a little too much confidence in their fan base. The die hards will buy it, but I assume most Bellator viewers only watch it because it is free.

King Mo vs Rampage
Alvarez vs Chandler
Askren vs Koreshkov
those are the only 3 fights that i think would market well and they would have to have at least two of them on a card before I would think of buying it.
And since Rampage isnt in Bellator yet and Alvarez is trying and will probably get into the UFC. I think Bellator is a couple years from going PPV

On a slightly different note, I read on ESPN that the decision to screw Alvarez was Viacom's (Bellator's owner), not Bjorn Rebney's. Or at least that seems what they were trying to convey.
