According to Boxoffice Mojo

Fathom reports the Mayweather and McGregor fight brought in an estimated $2.6 million on Saturday, which was enough for the film to place third on Saturday's chart and eighth for the weekend. Our previously reported weekend recap follows.

Weekend Box Office: August 25-27, 2017

1. The Hitman's Bodyguard------------$10,050,000
2. Annabelle Creation------------------$7,350,000

8. Mayweather vs. McGregor---------$2,598,213
9. Birth of the Dragon------------------$2,501,100

This should be a pretty clear indication that the fight will do 4 Million Plus PPV buys and quite possibly even go past 5 Million PPV's.

Also just to add, this was the lowest Box Office Weekend in North America for 15 Years, which many insiders have said was due to people staying at home and spending their money to watch the Mayweather vs McGregor Fight.

Has a fight shown in a theater ever been in the top ten? I don't recall that if its happened.

I still think the fight does better than the MP fight. This fight had everyone interested, from every other sport.

Not too surprised since the only theater by me showing it was charging 48$

connor is 29, he needs the right dance partners in the next 3 years to maximise profit

Checked for May vs Manny but there were no official B.O figures regarding that fight and it might have just been shown in Vegas Cinemas.

Either way, to place 3rd on Saturday in all Nationwide Cinemas is amazing and 8th overall for the Weekend.

Damn 3rd for Saturday. Holy f#ck. Thats really crazy.

I must say this was my first time watching a fight at a theater & I LOVED IT. Seeing boxing on a big movie screen was amazing. If I get rich one of my top ten purchases is a movie theater so I can watch every fight from Bounce to PPV's on that f#cking huge screen.

If theaters could serve beer watching at theaters would be huge & anyone who can duplicate the theater experience with boxing + alcohol will have a nice lil business going on imo.

100% Agree regarding seeing Boxing in Cinemas especially with a crowd of people creating a great atmosphere.

You know what would work great for Boxing is Open Air or Drive in Cinemas that serve Alcohol and Snacks. I've even watched some movies on a Beach with a Cinema Sized screen and that was a cool experience.

Hopefully they will be going Nationwide with cinemas for the Canelo-GGG fight as that would be a fantastic fight to watch in a cinema with a large mexican audience.
