I just doesn't make sense to me, nail down the North American market first.
Merchandise Merchandise Merchandise!!! You know how much money the UFC could be making.. The WWE wouldn't be making the money they are right now if it wasn't for Merchandise.
Take T-shirt sales the UFC should have a strangle hold on the MMA T-shirt market, but they don't, they have a partnership with Tapout, could you see WWE letting another company make million off of Stone Cold Steve Austin shirts? answer Hell No!!
Perfect example the last PPV in Montreal almost every fans was wearing an Affliction t-shirt.. to a UFC event something wrong there!!!
If you go to a WWE RAW show everyone wearing a wrestling shirt there, they are wearing a WWE shirt.
I am sorry but Australia WTF!! Who has ever said oh yeah Australia thats a market we should go to.
Dana has no plans on going to Brazilian he said so himself, cause of what I know, there seems to be some interest in Brazil and heard there are a couple of fighters from there.
I am sure it wouldn't do good at all.
