Conor McGregor drew twice (nearly triple)as many buys in 1 year than entire boxing s

[Anderson Silva]

boxing did: 400K, 600k, 55k, 300k, 300k and 160k expected for the kovalev-ward fight https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pay-per-view#Boxing both manny and canelo fought twice on ppv this year
so a total of 1815k
mcgregor did: 1600k vs diaz 1, 1650k vs diaz 2 and the number for ufc 205 are still coming in http://mmapayout.com/blue-book/pay-per-view/
what do you think of that ? Is UFC still dead?

[GMAN SUPREME]

[Mike D]

[Kagami Taiga]

[KingHippo]

UFC is most definitely not dead and hasn't ever been in recent times lol that UFC 205 card the PPV numbers will embarrass Mr.160k one thing I know is the 205 card broke the record once again, McGregor is just a bigger draw than Ward and yes it was stupid to put Ward PPV fight so close to a genuine exciting good fight card.

Mr.160k not big enough to do much better numbers than GGG first PPV fight even though he is American fighting in America lol!

[M Bison]

Lol at ppl believing MMA figures.

Mr.160k not good enough to sell 600k like GGG
Not good enough to sell anywhere close to what McGregor does either.

Take away McGregor then look at the numbers...

I don't even follow MMA and I watch all of his fights and press conferences.

Also didnt he fight like 3-4 times this year? All good fights against top fighters in different divisions. I am not shocked that he has sold more PPVs than boxing this year

[LacedUp]

McGregor is the biggest star in combat sports.

You know when Jon Jones comes back he will post great numbers as well too... UFC fans support their sport fully.
Then they also have the likelihood of GSP returning that would be another absolutely huge PPV name to return.
