There is no fighter who has ever sold PPV’s as well as Brock. In fact, these days, any time his name is on the card, the event can automatically be counted on to reach at least one million buys
Why so much success? On top of being naturally charismatic and such an imposing physical specimen, Lesnar credits his time with WWE as the reason he’s so marketable with the UFC. Which is amazing when one considers the fact that his last match, at WrestleMania 20 in March 2004, was an absolute disaster and occurred more than almost four full years before he made his UFC debut
Amazing. Here’s what Lesnar told The Wrestling Press about his incredible success:
“I’m not stupid – without the WWE, the WWE made me a household name and increased my value tenfold before I even pursued the UFC. Could I be where I am today without the WWE? Probably not. Could I be drawing the same numbers that I’m drawing? Probably not. I brought a lot of fans over, a lot of crossover fans that I brought, just from the general public and WWE fans, I believe.”
