    McGregor VS Mayweather won't break 1.5 mil..... here is why

    Mayweather made his fortune on Mexican holidays. His biggest buying fan base is actually Latino.

    When it was his last fight on his own vs a black fighter, he only did 300K PPV's on a mexican holiday.

    This time he's going to completely alienate his mexican fan base by not fighting on the mexican holiday AND he's not fighting anybody the latino fight fans follow.

    So this draw is going to be completely dependant on MMA fan boys. They aren't even interested in this fight with the exception of some Conor die hards.


    This is going to be like the Brock Lesnar UFC comebacks that projected 1+ mil PPV's but only ended up doing 300-400K because people aren't that ******.


    It's not doing 5 mil. it's not coming close to 4 mil. honestly it's not even doing 2 mil PPV's.


    Mark my words.

          ya MAYBE. big MAYBE.


          people thought Brock Lesnar was a sure 1 million PPV draw too.
          Bring over the wrestling fans. also the old UFC fans who wanted to see him come back etc.

          when they brought him back. His PPV's tanked both times(Alistair and Hunt).


          People are not THAT ******.








          The huge factor here is the fact that the latino fan base will be buying the Canelo-GGG PPV on the mexican holiday.


          So Mayweather has greatly over-estimated himself. his success relied on the mexican holidays.

              I think it does in the neighborhood of 2.5 million buys give or take. Part of that is because the PPV model is dying. Fans have been duped one too many times and I think many are hip to the obvious mismatch that this will be. Not only that, there are more sources now to stream PPV fights for free (illegally), and a lot of fans will just watch this on Youtube the next day for the highlights, of which there won't be many.

                Conor's UFC PPV buying fans consist of 1.5 million max. but a lot of them are writing this off as a loss.


                they are not ****** enough to buy the hype. some are no doubt..... but the simple fact is this fight is seen as a joke by the majority.
