Comments Thread For: UFC's White Claims Mayweather-McGregor Broke PPV Record

[WesternChamp]

Especially when he could probably make another $30 mil fighting Paulie. I can see that fight doing a 1.5 mil PPV

he's not gonna make $30 mil fighting paulie. get real.

only reason why there was a buzz going around after the leaked video/photos is because conor was gonna fight floyd. now that the fight is over and conor lost, aint nobody care about what really went down in sparring between these 2.

I first predicted 3miL but was hoping they broke the record....lets see when we get the official numbers.

Properly trained Paulie would probably beat him.


Seems like Connor beat him up a bit in sparring (looking at their face and demeanor) but Connor was in camp while Paulie was fat as fck untrained looking like a potatoe sack.

they also beat the record for most ppv buy refunds

Based on the sheer number of everyday people talking about it , I would be surprised if this thing didn't shatter the record. My girl owns a spa with an all female staff. She knows I watch boxing, 3 or 4 weeks ago apparently the girls at the spa were talking about Mayweather-McGregor. When you have groups of girls talking amongst themselves (masseuses, makeup artists, hair stylists, etc) I could just tell this thing was going to be huge.

Numbers

Usually some people in the tv network industry leaks something that points you in what direction the PPV fights are going towards.. Dana is just trying to stay positive..

My guess is that the fight didn't so well, so there will be a bunch of people swearing and saying it did something.. but showtime will not disclose numbers because it will show exactly what a disappointment this was.

Get ready for September 16th!! Real boxing fan's fight!

The thing is that housewives and girlie girls don't typically pay for it.. I was on the other end of the spectrum, coming from a huge family, with lots of friends and everyone into boxing. We could care less about it, didn't even watch it, someone streamed it, but even he was watching it with a just couple friends.

80% of my people were not interested, but could be just because we're hispanics and waiting for the GGG fight.

If all of this is true, McGregor is probably done fighting. The UFC would have to pay him a lot more money than they're used to to keep him interested. After allegedly earning over 100m in one fight, it'd be hard to be motivated to fight again if he's going to earn less than a 10th of that.

Even in boxing, I don't think most people would care to see him again.

I just read in DailyMail.com that Conor made 137 million after PPV, concessions, Andre sponsorships. 358 million for Floyd. Must be. nice to be rich

I need confirmed numbers, not articles or taking peoples word. There's no way he made 137 Million dollars.
