No one has ever done over 2 million buys without the name Mayweather on the card. To say Conor is A BIGGER DRAW IS LAUGHABLE. Conor would be a nobody without the push from the UFC.
The guy is a star and entertaining but lets not act lie the UFC isn't building him up.And Mayweather hasn't ever done more than 1.5m buys without a big star. Conor has. 3 times.
And regardless, times have changed. Mayweather is no longer box office material. May-Pac killed his drawing power(and probably boxing in general). The only way May breaks 1m now is against Mcgregor and that fight might break 5m.
Nate Diaz actually has a huge following in MMA. Both the Diaz brothers do. also Also is a huge star in MMA. So to say Conor has done 1.5 million buys without a huge star on the card shows your ignorance of the sport. Conor also has had the benefit of having big names in the MMA world on his undercards which boosted his sales significantly.
You guys who think Conor has done 1 million buys completely on his own are delusional.Nate was not a big star in mma LOL. Conor made him a star.
Once again, Conor draws alone. Mayweather doesn't.
A guy who's highest guaranteed payday was 3 million dollars will not get a guarantee of 100 million.
Conor is currently the BIGGEST ppv draw on the planet. $100 mill would be underpaying him.
Pacquiao did 300k in his last fight
Mayweather did 400k
and Ward-Kovalev 160k
Conor's last 5 PPVs: 1.8m, 1.65m, 1.6m, 1.0m, 800k
No one even comes close to Conor in boxing. Not even Floyd himself.
Conor actually deserves $200mill guaranteed if we're being realistic.
LOL you clearly didn't follow MMA closely until Conor came onto the scene. The Diaz brothers are big amongst the hardcore MMA crowd. And NO Conor does not draw alone.
You probably believe Conor is worth 4.2 billion dollars like he says.LOL I've been a hardcore MMA fan for over 15 years now and a casual since the 90's.
Nate was underground popular but he wasn't popular with the casuals who are 90% of the drawing power. Conor made him a draw on 10 days notice.
Yeah...but Conor lost to a guy who couldn't box worth sh1t, he lost to nate Diaz, who's a nobody and is a loser like louSER CipherNate trains with a lot of top boxers like Andrew Ward.
but nonetheless, Nate didn't beat him with boxing. he just beat him with cardio.
