a UFC event in New York City would generate $11.5 million in ‘net new’ economic activity: $5.3 million in direct event spending, $1.4 million in non-lodging visitor spending, and $4.9 million in indirect/induced benefits.Now, I don't really know what any of that that means, but it sounds like a bunch of money for the city...just for ONE event!!! $11.5M just for a coupla hours of almost-naked men alternately beating the shit out of each other and laying wrapped up in each other's arms? Bit like the cast of The Sopranos saying goodbye to each other in the sauna, no? I mean, what the fuck - why was this ever turned down? Let 'em rub butter on each other while whispering "How Much for That Doggie in the Window" into each other's cauliflower ears and then pretend to "fight" all they want, and let's get the damn money!
And don't say the sport is "inhumane" - hey, I'm about to have to sit through 6 months of the fucking Knicks; I don't wanna hear about "inhumane."
Oh, and California? You don't wanna see gays get married, but you're okay with shelling out money to see this? Really? Fascinating!
