Mayweather-McGregor fight may have surpassed the $72-million live-gate record

[Diego Rodriguez]

More people in the streets are talking about Mayweather-Macgregor than they did Mayweather-Pacquiao.... people were talking about Mayweather-Pacquiao on this level before, but that was 2009-10 and they didn't make the fight.

Hearing people in all aspects of my life who have never once mentioned boxing talking about the fight, asking about the fight, looks for places to watch it... its crazy.

Funny I haven't heard anywhere near the same interest and most of it is negative. But I'm sure a whole lot of suckers will buy it.

No surprise, but anyone claiming this was a flop with $10k seats & with a estimated gate of $60M a couple weeks ago still is a f#cking ******. If a $60M gate is a flop you don't know sh^t about anything.

the difference between this fight and the may/pac one is that conor's fans actually have money and will fly over to watch conor fight, where as for manny, all his fans in the philipines can only pitch in to get $100 to buy the ppv and pack the house with 50 people LOL.

Tuesday while picking up my son from football practice, 2 moms and a grandma we're talking about this fight and plans they all were having at their houses.

Agreed.

And I definitely think if MayPac had happened sooner it very likely woulda had better numbers than it ultimately did. They f#cked around with that too much.

This promotion on the other hand was grassroots 2 years ago & grew into a viable option for Conor & Floyd & I'd say they are putting it on at the perfect time to do max numbers.

And yea this is gonna be the first combat sports PPV for more people than any PPV in history too, if you could measure that number, I'd be willing to bet cuz there are so many people who don't know sh^t about MMA or boxing talking about this fight I feel like boxing is actually a mainstream sport lol.

LOL why do people spending money on entertainment gotta be suckers?

Some of you cats are salty as f#ck about people having $ success in boxing. Its the weirdest f#cking thing lol.

The masses requested this fight, it'll likely be #1 all time or if it "flops" lol it'll be #2 all time. Boxing would be smart to listen to fans & what they want more often is the lesson that should be learned from this insanely unlikely fight happening.

could have just said a few parents were talking about it, that would sound more believable. 2 moms and a grandma, LOL!!!

Not surprised...

Only question now is will it break the PPV record? I have a feeling this thing is going to do a crazy number like 6-7 million

It will either be #1 or #2 when it comes to ppv buys.

Most of the people that come to Mayweather's events are celebrities. Not sure if they pay for their tickets or how they get them but am sure who ever foot the bills for those tickets would be paying a lot for them. Can regular fans even get to see a fight like this for $1000?
