Dana White Reveals McGregor vs Mayweather did 6.5 Million PPV Buys

[HarvardBlue]

Nobody pays to see one guy, its ALWAYS the matchup and its ALWAYS been that way.

Connor didn't carry the promotion, his job was to convince casuals he had a chance of winning, so he had to be out there very loud and Floyd had to be subdued. They both played their role.

They said De la Hoya, Alvarez, and Pacquiao carried him. Now McGregor. Yet they fail to mention that without Mayweather they don't get the same amount of PPV buys.

You think 2-3 million bought a stream? Only people without cable would buy a stream.

tell that to big dunn lmao!!!

Top 4 PPVs all time

1. Mayweather vs McGregor 6.5 million (est.)
2. Mayweather vs Pacquaio 4.6 million
3. Mayweather vs De la Hoya 2.4 million
4. Mayweather vs Canelo 2.2 million

No other boxer comes close, Mike Tyson makes the top 10 list at 5, 6, and 10.

Mayweather has elevated boxing to unbelievable levels for interest.

Gosh, I guess the UFC co-promoting this event was a figment of everyone's imagination.

I knew this PPV number would drive Floyd haters nuts. Wait until the official number comes out, bet it's a little higher than 6.5 million and the know nothings will bend over backwards to discredit that too.

UFC had no part of it. This was a Showtime/PBC/TMT event literally the whole way..

Even if this is true how many are real ppv buys and not where you charged or double charged because you couldn't deliver the ppvs and are now forced to issue mass refunds? 2 class act lawsuits forcing showtime and UFC to refund 10s if not hundreds of millions back to customer's. They haven't even counted the refunds which will be historic levels so how you know how many ppv buys this ends up with?

... if true, it's the initial option that counts, tbh...

If the fight did 6.5 mil ppv buys then boxing and MMA are on the map.

... idk... rather it would be about the actual "situation"...

Those numbers are farce! They aren't even calculated yet. The fight itself didn't sell out but the ppv did 6.5 mil lmfao!

... of course...
