Bonnar vs Struve deserved Fight of the night. This was a good tourney. Looking forward to the next one.

Suprised the buy-rate was so low... I figured people would have been all over this...

[The Sandmen]

I am wondering if the location affects the buy-rate. We almost always operate out of Canada, but to accommodate a larger attendance, I had this in Japan. The other possible reason could be when you do a tournament, you cannot assign a main event. So maybe without a main event, people felt scammed and didn't want to pay. Unfortunate, it was good.
