    Conor is light years ahead of Floyd in PPV performance



    Takeaways:
    • At roughly the same age (28.35) Conor has over 7M PPV buys, where Floyd had a mere 365K
    • Conor's career average (1.43M) is already ahead of Floyd's (1.32M)
    • Through each fighter's first 5 PPVs, Floyd holds only ONE advantage over Conor - That's the buy rate of the De La Hoya fight. Floyd greatly benefited in that contest by having another incredible draw in Oscar. Conor has yet to face another fighter that is his equal in terms of PPV draws.


    • If Conor maintains his pace, he'll break all of Floyd's records in 2 years and 196 days
    • Averages 13,593 PPVs per day
    • Needs 12,590,000 PPVs to pass Floyd
    • That equates to 926 days
    • That can also equate to about 9 more PPVs at his average buy rate of 1.43M. Since his average has increased every single time he's headlined, this stands to go down.

          Doesn't matter

          UFC guys don't last that long

          Most likely in 5 years Connor won't be relevent and forgotten and they'll hype up some other fighter with 2 decent wins as the next one

            Mayweather-Gatti was Floyd's 1st PPV.

            http://boxrec.com/media/index.php/Ar..._Mayweather_Jr.

            "This was the first time Mayweather headlined a pay-per-view event. It generated 340,000 buys and $15.3 million in revenue."

              "If the maintains pace" yeah. Massive If.

              I don't see McGregor ever surpassing 4 million buys.

              Maybe 2 million.

                  Your stats are loaded in Conor McGregor's favour. Show us earnings, how much control they have. By picking to compare the same age you also picked the lowest point of Floyd Mayweather, Jr.'s PPV numbers possible.

                    UFC cards are stacked. You are paying for quality fights throughout the event not just the McGregor fight. McGregor adds a few hundred thousand but those UFC events sell well without him.
