Mattio, he refused to answer the questions because ticket sales figures are never released before an event, and reporters should know better than to assume that means their bad.

By the way, I heard the ticket sales figure tonight at dinner. It’s not bad, but, like Atencio, I won’t give you the sales figure, because those things always get reported after the event.

Hey, to all who hate this great upcoming MMA event. It is an event to watch worthfully. MMA is not limited to UFC.

Haha, good point. Atencio is a nice guy…too nice. He needs to take some classes from Dana and learn to lie through his teeth and smile sometimes.

‘First of all i have no idea where this information is coming from…’

The information is coming from you. You were asked at the press conferance if the tickest sales were crummy and instead of saying no, you refused to answer. People can do the math when somebody refuses to answer an embarrasing question.
