My guess is about 1.2 million or so. I think even most MMA fans know that Conor has no chance. Floyd fans will buy it because they'll pay to watch him jerk off in the middle of the ring, but most boxing fans likely won't This will be purchased by casual MMA and boxing fans.
The PPV model is dying. Fans are hip to mismatches and certain fighters who don't give them their money's worth. Had this fight taken place prior to Maweather/Pacquiao, I think it sells much better, probably 2.5 million or more. But Mayweather's last two fights were snoozefests and not a lot of fans want to pay $75 for a mismatch with a 99.9% guaranteed outcome.
