tbh i dont believe that number at all


Schaefer questioned the legitimacy of UFC pay-per-view results that were leaked. He said HBO is a publicly traded company that would face serious repercussions for releasing false numbers. The UFC, he noted, is a private company with no such concerns.

“I think the UFC and boxing should be able to co-exist and work together in this thing that we call (combat) sports,” Schaefer said.

“I don’t want to talk (expletive) about the UFC. But Dana White can’t do an interview without knocking boxing. If he thinks we’re idiots and don’t know anything about the pay-per-view business, I’ll make him a challenge.

“I am willing to hire one of the top three accounting firms, at my expense, and do an audit of his pay-per-view results. They are nowhere near what is put into the public. There is talk that UFC 100 did 1.6 million, but it barely broke a million. I am willing to pay to have the audits done to prove this.”

White said he would not allow anyone other than fighters with a contractual right to do so to audit his numbers.

“Do you think I’m (expletive) crazy?” he said

Those recent UFC numbers are from that WWE hack Meltzer.. Dana White already mentioned how they dont release PPV figures in the UFC 152 postfight press conference.

but jeezus behold, its 'the fastest growing sport' apparently. LOL

Just so you know, seeing something commented on while browsing Sherdog doesn't constitute proof. And why the hell would I go browse Sherdog for some thread I don't even have any idea of what it is? I asked you for your supposed "proof", and your only response is go find it myself? This is what's called be discredited.

the source is Dave Meltzer and his reported numbers are simply projections and many insiders including people like Kevin Iole find them to be inaccurate and inconsistent. He first reported that Lesnar/Overeem fight at first did 800k buys and then projected months later that the fight did 500k. Believe what u want but this source is incredibly sketchy to me and i dont take any of these figures to be correct.
