Report | Chuck Liddell vs. Tito Ortiz 3 was a PPV disaster

Last weekend’s controversial Chuck Liddell vs. Tito Ortiz 3 event failed to produce in the pay-per-view department.

This according to the LA Times Lance Pugmire who recently reported that Chuck Liddell vs. Tito Ortiz 3 buys could be as low as 30,000.

Industry source tells me the Liddell-Ortiz PPV buys may be as low as 30,000….but the Tiger-Phil golf might reach 1 million (all refunded, but a glimpse of what a low price can generate).

“Industry source tells me the Liddell-Ortiz PPV buys may be as low as 30,000….but the Tiger-Phil golf might reach 1 million (all refunded, but a glimpse of what a low price can generate).”

That is a far cry from the 200,000 pay-per-view buys the former UFC light heavyweight champions were hoping to obtain from their trilogy.

Adding salt to the wound is the fact that Yahoo Sports is reporting the Golden Boy MMA promoted event resulted in just 25,000 buys.
