Pay-per-view buys for a bare-knuckle showdown between Artem Lobov and Paulie Malignaggi are still coming in. But promoter David Feldman said the June 22 event is trending to be the most successful to date for Bare Knuckle Fighting Championships. Feldman estimates BKFC 6, which took place in Tampa, Fla., will draw around 200,000 buys when the final numbers are tallied. “We got our digital numbers right away,” Feldman told MMA Junkie. “In April, we did a certain amount, and in June, we did six times that digitally. It’s given us a gauge that we’re going to end up at the 200,000 line.” Related Video: Behind the scenes on 'The Night Artem Beat Paulie' Paulie Malignaggi baffled by BKFC 6 loss to Artem Lobov: 'Bush league' judges scored blood Paulie, don't go away mad; Paulie, just go away BKFC 6 streamed live via internet pay-per-view provider FITE TV.
