Mayweather-McGregor Most Half-Assed Build Up Ever?

[KillaCamNZ]

Why do people say this for fights that were just announced and are 2 months away? You don't dump a bunch of money so far out from the event. These tickets will sell themselves and you sell a PPV within the last few weeks.

Absolutely - fight day should represent the peak of the build. Kicking off too far away from the date will make the whole thing stagnate.

The stakeholders in this one will know when it's time to pull the trigger.

THis match anit about an epic fight.

This match is an EVENT. I expect lot of good social media trolling.

Things will blow up eventually. These are the most popular combatants of their respective sports, pretty much of all time. McGregor is the all time seller of PPV's in UFC, Floyd Mayweather is the all time seller of PPV's in boxing.

From 2015-2016 McGregor sold 5,850,000 million PPV's in 4 UFC fights, including 3 in 2016 (4,450,000).

In 2015 Floyd sold a total of 4,950,000 PPV buys in 2 fights.

From 2015-2016, Mayweather and McGregor combined for 10,800,000 PPV buys.

The fight got more press coverage in 2 days than any other fight in the last 2 years. I think the fight is being sold ok. The build up will ramp up soon.
