The most expensive event in UFC history is right around the corner, and fans worldwide are gearing up for the celebration of Mexican Independence Day through it. In the last few days, Dana White has finally revealed how the event will feature several films showcasing Mexico's contributions to combat sports.
UFC 306 has already become a ground-breaking event for the promotion. From rebranding because of sponsors to higher streaming quality on TV to haptic seats for live viewers, there are many never-seen-before elements to look forward to.
However, Riyadh Season Noche UFC tickets are quite pricey, and Daniel Zellhuber thinks White's targeting the wrong audience with a high-profile event like this...
Daniel Zellhuber Claims Dana White Is Targeting 'Wrong Market' With UFC 306's Premium Ticket Pricing
Zellhuber appeared on the Verse Us With Eric Nicksick podcast on YouTube to discuss his upcoming fight at UFC 306. The Mexican prospect will face another rising talent in Esteban
Ribovics in the second fight on the main card.
Zellhuber revealed that his parents would be coming to The Sphere to watch his fight. His mother will travel out of Mexico for the first time, making the moment all the more special.
However, when Nicksick asked "Golden Boy" about the tickets, he honestly admitted that White has relied on the wrong audience for UFC 306. He explained how unlikely it is for Mexican people to pay thousands of dollars for a ticket, especially when they can see Canelo Álvarez live for a much lower price nearby.
You know, it's funny because I feel that Dana, he target the wrong market with that event. Yeah, in Mexico, we are always watching everything for free, you know, like Mexican people are not going to pay $3000 for a ticket and he's like, yeah, $3000,the cheapest ticket. No, there's no way and you know, we have illegal streams so yeah, nobody's gonna pay anything, you know.
The UFC lightweight jokingly claimed that his coach expects him to get a quick knockout so they can watch Álvarez's fight live.
The Mexican fighter also mentioned illegal streams, trying to imply that the UFC CEO shouldn't expect the PPV numbers to be exceptionally high either. Zellhuber admitted to UFC 306 being a spectacular event, though, and he'll certainly try to make a name for himself by getting an impressive win on the main card.
