    Would Mcgregor-Mayweather outsell Manny-Floyd??

    Could this spectacle fight do the impossible and break manny-Fkoyd numbers??

    Mcgregor is a house hold name, so is floyd. It hasn't simmered for 10 years, but hey. MMA is huge, and casuals would buy this garbage.

      Don't think so. Manny is a bigger name than Connor.

        Hard to criticize it from any angle with those numbers.

          you've got to be joking??? this fight does 2.5 million tops. People realise this is a junk fight and not competitive. Floyd-Manny was a once in a lifetime event hyped for over 5 years as manny was the one that was meant to finally defeat floyd.

            How do you figure that? Explain? That number is insane.

              Yes. Never underestimate the ******ity of UFC fans.The whole UFC fanbase are casuals. They only like striking. They don't even enjoy grappling anymore.

                Hell no. In the end, it comes down to people willing to pay $80 to see McGreggor beaten down, and people naive enough to think Connor has a chance. You're not going to find more than 4.6million of those people.

                  maybe, but I doubt it

                  Conor McGregor got his **** pushed in by Nate Diaz, and barely had enough in the tank to edge things in their second fight (now doing everything in his power to avoid a third fight).

                  The only way that Mayweather-McGregor would get anywhere near approaching 5m PPV buys would be if the world eanestly believed that the fight would be any kind of competitive, which it won't be.

                  On spectacle alone, the fight likely does 3m PPV buys, and not much more.

                  Were McGregor to have been a 10-0 UFC star, having dominated his weight class, gone up to dead Nate Diaz at 170lbs, and still emerge as a UFC double champion, there'd be enough heat behind the possibility of the fight to likely draw 6m PPV buys.
