Conor McGregors absence from UFC 200 was supposed to be made up financially by his appearance two cards later. After all, cards that feature McGregor have yielded three of top five gates in UFC history.But, judging from whats available on Ticketmaster for the UFC 202 card that McGregor is headlining, recouping that loss is going to be a long shot.More than 2,700 tickets still havent been sold with three days to go before McGregor fights Nate Diaz in a rematch at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas. That means roughly 14 percent of the arena hasnt been sold. The majority of those tickets are the premium, high-priced seats in the lower bowl, closest to the octagon.Roger Jones of Vegas Tickets, among the biggest resellers of UFC tickets, says the main factor is the new T-Mobile Arena. Having a permanent venue that is not tied to a casino, Jones said, has allowed people who wanted premium tickets to reserve them ahead of time. That means there are fewer people and companies looking for the best seats on an event-by-event basis.Its affecting everything in this arena, including concerts, Jones said. If you are Turner Construction, a big company here, youve already purchased your suite. Even a guy who has a business with decent presence in Las Vegas isnt looking around for seats at the last minute because he already got club-seat rights.Thats why, Jones said, the premium seats for UFC 202 arent selling.Jones also says he believes the UFC has overpriced most of the seats, which range from $365 to $9,995. His company, to sell its inventory, is reselling the $365 seats for $250 and seats priced at $2,950 for $1,800.Patrick Ryan, co-founder of Eventellect, a secondary market ticket distribution company, agrees.What it appears the UFC has done is to raise prices to match past prices on the secondary market, so that they dont leave money on the table, Ryan said. But when brokers dont think they can make the margin on your tickets, they dont buy and that contributes to lost buzz.Ryan said the WWE is willing to leave some money on the table for the resellers, which is why, he says, approximately 5,000 seats have been resold for SummerSlam in Brooklyn this weekend and fewer than 1,200 have been resold for UFC 202.WWE, he says, rarely heads into marquee pay-per-view events with so much available inventory the week of the show, whereas that has started to become commonplace for UFC.A UFC spokesman declined to speculate on the ticket situation. Due to higher ticket prices, Saturdays event will still generate more than $7 million in live gate and might qualify as the fifth-largest ticket sales revenue event in UFC history (UFC 200 did $10.7 million). Factoring in UFC 202, recent events in Las Vegas dating back to December will still have pulled in more than $40 million at the gate.Its worth noting that the percentage of fans traveling from international markets, notably the United Kingdom and Ireland, is down. McGregors loss to Diaz in their first fight certainly is at play, as well as the frequency of McGregors fights -- many have come over several times in the past 13 months to watch their native son, so perhaps fatigue is setting in.Jones doesnt think all is lost for UFC 202. He says he is counting on a strong walk-up crowd from locals and those who happen to be in Vegas who will be convinced, come this weekend, that the best entertainment they can get will be watching the battles in the octagon.

Ex-Gold Coast midfielder Dion Prestia says Richmonds strong list and a high probability of playing finals football were key factors in his decision to join the Tigers.Prestia was unveiled at a press conference at Punt Road on Wednesday, just hours after his trade from the Suns was finalised.The Tigers secured Prestia and pick No.24 in this years AFL draft in exchange for pick No.6 and Richmonds 2017 second-round pick.Prestia requested a trade at the end of the 2016 season after playing 95 games in six seasons with Gold Coast.The 24-year-old Victorians main motivation was a desire to be closer to family and friends, but he is also bullish about the Tigers prospects in 2017 and beyond.This year was an off year I feel for the club, but I think finals are on the cards, Prestia said.Obviously coming home was a big factor ... (but) I picked Richmond because of their list.Being able to play with the likes of Dustin Martin and Trent Cotchin in the midfield and having the two Ellis boys and Anthony Miles in there as well.That was a major factor ... its a really strong midfield and theyve also got some great players at either end (of the field).ddddddddddddPrestia said the season of turmoil the Tigers endured, including speculation around the future of coach Damien Hardwick, didnt affect his decision-making process.The midfielders season was cut short when he suffered a knee injury against Brisbane in round 16 that required surgery, but he said he will be ready to begin pre-season training with his new teammates.He has managed just 22 games in the past two years because of knee issues but the Tigers were delighted to get their man after protracted negotiations.We identified Dion earlier this year as a player that we wanted at our football club, hes a power runner, highly competitive and impacts games significantly, Richmond list manager Dan Richardson said in a statement.At 24 years of age, Dion has many years of good football ahead of him, hes also a person of great character, and being vice-captain at the Gold Coast Suns, he has great leadership qualities also.
