Makes a lot of sense, and it's really looking like a great card. Lot of top Brazilians on this one.

Headlining the FS1 broadcast gets you seen by around a million viewers. This PPV is great for hardcores but has nothing for casuals. I'd bet it does between 300-350k buys, if that.
The most-promoted positions on cards probably go as follows:
1 - PPV main event
2 - PPV co-main
3 - FS1 prelims main event
4 - Fight Pass prelims main event
Stop thinking about PPV events as one card. They are built and marketed as three-tiered cards, with a headliner on each broadcast platform. They build one card for PPV, one card to boost Fight Pass subs, and one card to please their FOX partners.

Again I get it but don't agree with Maia/Brown being a Prelim, even if it means they are the #3 most promoted fight and the Main Event of the Prelims...oh but not the Main Event of The Fight Pass Prelims.

If Maia's gonna potentially co-headline a PPV card you want 1M-2M people to have watched the fight that put him there rather than 250K-350K (which is what the heavyweights bring in on average these days).
This is in Maia's and Brown's interest too because as of now, Lawler vs. Maia/Brown is a potential 200K bust waiting to happen but if one of them does something special on the FS1 main event, that may change (not a lot, but the strategy is totally understandable).

Why not tuck Holloway/Lamas away on Fight Pass and pulling Poirier/Green to Headline FS1 or vice versa. It would be the equivalent.
But anyways I'm not trying to argue with you guys since I have the means to pick and choose exactly which fights I watch and tbh I'll probably watch all the fights tomorrow night.
