As noted earlier, Chael Sonnen said no one on the WWE roster can count to eight, while discussing Vince McMahon challenging Dana White to a fight. WWE CFO George Barrios shed some light on how he feels about the UFC audience at the 25th Annual ROTH Conference. Barrios, who admitted he’s been to a UFC event, said:

“It’s a lot of guys, it’s a lot of cigars, and a lot of smoke,”

He contrasted that WWE’s audience is similar to Disney on Ice events with grandparents, parents and kids. Barrios touted WWE’s age distribution and diversity of the audience.
