The consensus is that UFC 216 was a top tier show, featuring exciting fights, a major record being set and a finish that will be talked about for years to come.
But the box office told a different story.
The announced crowd of 10,638 fans at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas is on paper is nothing surprising. However, the gate of $677,999.50 was nothing short of shocking. That number indicates either a substantial amount of free tickets were included in that attendance figure, or a large percentage of sales were at heavily discounted prices.
