I have said it over and over again that Strikeforce seems to be on the GREEN MILE walking towards the end of the road. I believe that they are dead men walking due to the obvious fact that they have been bought out by Zuffa as well as their contract with Showtime is soon to expire. They have released their Heavyweight Champion, Alistair Overeem. They lost Nick Diaz to the UFC. Paul Daley has recently lost AGAIN and more than likely will be in BAAMA next chasing Nate Marquardt. Not to mention, Fedor has lost again and even Dan Henderson is looking to the UFC now with his contract expiring. That is THREE major world titles that are NOW VACANT more than likely inside this company that has no where else to go but down.
To top it all off, lets look at the ticket sales for the Strikeforce Challengers event...
The Nevada State Athletic Commission announced the figures earlier today including tickets sold (458), tickets comped (1418), and a live gate ($42,987.50). Also mentioned were the amount of tickets left unsold with the number totaling nearly a fifth of those that had been paid for.
How can a major company in the MMA world survive with this type of revenue and such huge contracts on the roster?
I personally think that this is the end of the road for Strikeforce. These ticket sales are disgusting and even are less than TNA Impact, who basically GIVES all of their tickets away.
