GSP: First New Generation Draw

According to Dave Meltzer, GSP v. Matt Serra did 100,000 buys in Canada alone, and some interest metrics that have been highly reliable suggest the show did 550,000-600,000 buys. Combined with the excellent and disproportionate numbers in Canada (Canada usually does around 10% of the US number), this could be a 650,000 buy show, putting it right up there for all time UFC shows.

This is great news for a number of reasons. GSP will be on top for a long time given his youth and dominance, and he is the first of the new generation stars to prove he can draw on top.
