Making SF seem like a regional promotion isn't really a fair depiction either. Bellator is a regional promotion. Strikeforce has a deal with Showtime which seems to get pretty damn good ratings for it's t.v. shows and was featured on CBS and probably would still be if the brawl didn't happen. Plus, the past two years SF has been able to pay it's top guys figures that match the UFC. They're beyond regional.

As far as PPV goes, I think it's another example of Coker's ineptitude that they haven't done at least one yet with some of talent and match ups they've had going in.
Let's be realistic here, it wasn't until recently that Strikeforce had the talent and drawing power to entertain the idea of a succussful PPV.
