âA fool and his money are soon partedâ - Thomas Tusser
Two weeks have already passed since UFCâs mega event inside Sphere in Las Vegas, Nevada, aka UFC 306, where Sean OâMalley lost his Bantamweight championship to Merab Dvalishvili (check out all of the highlights and results here).
The event was a massive success and very expensive for fans. However, one fan took that to the extreme. Canadian YouTuber Troydan revealed in a YouTube video that he spent $67,000 on a third-row floor ticket to UFC 306.
Yep, you read that correctly ⌠$67k.
Well, it turns out that his friendâs mother bought Troydanâs ticket as well as a second ticket for the same price.
So, what did he get for almost $100,000? Troydan received a âdedicated VIP entrance, post-fight octagon experience, post weigh-in reception with UFC athletes, in-venue hospitality with UFC athlete meet and greets, and a reserved seat for ceremonial weigh-ins with meet and greets.â
The vlogger also purchased a spot on the octagon floor with his name for some extra money.
By the end of the video, Troydan reacted to the âgreatest sporting event of all time,â and it was about the same rating that most everyone else gave itââuh, er, ugh, maybe?â Troydan mentioned that the fights werenât the best, but Sphere was the most unique arena he had ever been to, and the backgrounds were amazing.
If we were to read between the lines, the $67,000 was ridiculously excessive for fight tickets, you know, especially because you could buy a new car or put a nice down payment on a house. But whatever, it wasnât our money, so in the end, who cares?
I wouldnât even have paid for that PPV lol.
I wouldnât even do that even if I could afford it. The card didnât look that great and it definitely didnât deliver up to the hype.
Just like Suga saidâŚâŚ
âOver promised and Under Deliveredâ fight wise.
The venue tho, looked phenomenal. Not $67,000 phenomenal tho
I wouldnât have paid $670 for that show. When it was announced I told my son we would go if we could get tickets under 5 grand. Then the card was announced and neither of us wanted to go. I didnât even watch the ppv.
I wouldnât even pay my internet bill for that month for streaming it
Buyers remorse.
What a tit
Troydan lol
I agree with everyone else that card sucks lol.
Iâd guess thereâs probably cheaper events if you just want to see the venue.
He didnât pay for any of this shit.
I think heâs hangs out with a an old kid fan that became part of his videos. That kidâs mom buys all this shit. She seems crazy loaded and he is definitely fucking her.
âCanadian YouTuberâ
5 grand bro for tickets? Thatâs insane. Let me know if you want to sponsor me for local bjj tournaments, masters division, 2 stripe white belt.
I donât
was he a mexican cartel member?
No meet and greet with the ringgirls is a no go.
I watched it near a slow moving river
family. Donât forget adopted members in times like that.
Good news is I agree with the decision to not go.
Would not have let you spend the 5K or below on me for the card
Thatâs why youâre my favorite kid
I would be ashamed to admit publicly that I paid $67k to go to a B-side UFC event (or my buddyâs mommy bought it for me).
