Comments Thread For: UFC's White: Mayweather-McGregor is Biggest Fight in History

[MrRolltide91]

The biggest one I found was Floyd vs Manny & their last presser via Showtime 2yrs ago had about 1M & change views. Scipio is saying the UFC/Showtime presser streams for today are over 3M combined already (1.6M of that was on Showtime last I saw, but I'm guessing thats higher by now). This fight is insane.

Now showtime presser has 2.3 million views

Now showtime presser has 2.3 million views

Wow. If this isn't solid evidence this fight is off the charts interest-wise idk what is. 2.3x views for the presser vs the biggest fight in history of ppv boxing. IDK that that means this is doing 10M buys or anything like that, but who effing knows anymore.

This is the biggest fight in history???

This is one step away from being WWE.

A glorified sparring session. I would bet that Mayweather and McGregor already discussed how Mayweather is going to carry McGregor and what rounds Mayweather is going to give away to make the fight appear to be somewhat interesting.

Probably no bad blood between the two. Mayweather and McGregor are probably good friends. That's how fake this fight is and how much they're hyping it up, but people eat the bull**** up, so it'll sell. I wouldn't pay for this fight if it was $10.

from yesterday or back in the day? If it's from yesterday i'm gonna have to go dig that up cuz dana had a sh^t eating grin during the whole presser and i'm dying to know his take on the craziness.

its on fight hub and barbershop conversations and aleetboxing! On a bunch of channels! He even called arum a moron and a idiot on undisputed 2 days ago! Skip and shannon were laughing too haha

And the views still going up

McGregor vs Diaz 1 presser had more views than the MayPac presser/s. That did like 1.5/6m PPV buys and MayPac did 4.4m.

It's the only thing that has a chance to break into the Floyd vs. Manny space in the stratosphere. It's why Floyd's doing it, otherwise he wouldn't have bothered.

I don't know that it outsells the fight with Manny but I do think it will land in the same neighborhood as far as the numbers go. Way more than the usual huge-PPV.

And both guys can sell a fight exceptionally well, obviously.

[Canelo and GGG]

this fight is BS ,but PPV buys will be insane ,vievs are crazy allready

[MrRolltide91]

2 mill ppv buys at least

[Scipio2009]

I think 1.4m with Marquez and 1.2m with Cotto.

So, coming in, based on simply PPV numbers, McGregor is a bigger attraction than Manny was before Floyd, yet you think it'll do less business. Why?
