There is no way Mayweather vs. McGregor fails it will do 5.5 to 8.5 million ppv buys

[hectari]

The venue itself hasn't even sold out yet. I'm guessing it goes for 2.5 - 3 million PPV sales. Floyd burned the fans too many times before, and its getting easier to find free ways to stream fights now, which cuts into sales. Especially at $100 a pop. Most of the buys will come from delusional MMA fans who think Conor has a prayer.

It hasnt sold out because ufc fans are not rich like boxing fans. Boxing fans tend to have money while most ufc fans are blue collar types or middle class, they will not dish out 10 k for a seat but will order the ppv, believe thst, the livegate isnt even the most important its the ppv sales, also the fight is sold out those are tickets being resold on the scalpers sites trying to make profit as the fight looms closer some rich celebs wil pick them up for a cheaper price.

Naaaa...lol. I don't see how it can surpass May-Pac. It would surprise me if it matches May-DLH or May-Canelo. Do you know how many people will stream this?

The numbers you're predicting would probably happen if this was a UFC fight between Mayweather-McGregor.

You will be hardpressed to find a stream, ufc is not like boxing, dana white loves spending millions cracking down on shuttingdown streams to his ufc events. The fight is going to be ppv every country thats why you wont be able to get a stream. If you do find one it will lag hard and glitch badly.

Conor is also more famous than pacquiao, dana white showed his reasoning that conor has 20 million plus social media followrs while pacquiao on has 1 million total

so with this Hectari special, expect this ppv to hit 900K-1mil

And pacquiao ismt even on the list other than the floyd fight, while conor is on there. The fight is going to break the record and then sum.

Has pacquiao even did a ppv over 1 million buys?

His fight with hatton was 800k
With oscar 900k
With cotto 850k
With clottey 750k
With margarito 650k
With marquez around 750 and 850k
With bradly 825k and the rematch was 500k, and the third was 325k

Go look at the betting lines the favor is over 4.99 million buys, and every other person in ufc is saying the fight is bigger than floyd vs manny, leonard ellerbee said it breaks the record too.

I think it does 2 mil maybe 2.5 tops and that's stretching it

[Skip Bayless]

it will do around 2m i reckon, may/pac hype was on a different level + had years of buildup. most people know this is a bs fight and those tuning in are only doing so for the spectacle.

Wtf you are underesrimating the ufc fanbase ans casuals, 2.5 million buys?

Just stop already you guys have no business vision, the fight is a spectacle and that is why it will sell its a freakshow with two trash talkers, drama sells big time, look at all the biggest stars are reality show drama queens, kim kardasian has zero talent yet is more famous and higher paid than most of the female actresses in hollywood.

Kim Kardashian also isn't charging over a hundred bucks just to look at her on tv. This fight isn't gonna do anything near what you said. Believe me, I know casuals and the like are gullible but there aren't that many dummies to buy into this farce
