Dan Rafael - Mayweather/Mcgregor didn't break PPV record

[bigdunny1]

Dana White is a liar no way this did 6.5M buys when not just ESPN now showtime head throwing out statements today that it might not break the record which was in the mid 4M. Thurs/Friday is when these networks and promoters get the satellite numbers and a week later come cable numbers. But dyck head white knew it was 6.5M in just 2 days? I call bullshyt.

"We would love to break that record, but even if we come up just short, the event was still a massive success financially and by other measurements," Espinoza said to USA Today.


Makes you wonder how many of the UFC ppv numbers dana also lied about.

out of 20 causals in a room talking about it, how many do you think WILL actually buy it? talking and buying is 2 totally different thing.

Well I deal with the general public a lot, and the only fight that has gotten talked about was manny/Floyd and it shattered records. This fight was even more talked about..

I know it's not a scientific way, but usually when I here public talking about a fight, it does huge business.

Oscar/Floyd and manny/Floyd were the last 2 talked about this much in my experience and both broke records.

Why question hype when that's all you do, if buts maybes.

Could be Dana has access to all the UFC outlets and other media that this fight was telecast on, who knows but the real final figure will come out sooner or later.

About the only fact in all this is that it done extremely well with paying viewers.

The sad thing is even though it might be lower than expected, Canelo/GGG a legit pick em fight still won't even be close to beating it or even matching it. LOSS for boxing all the way.

Even if this ends up doing only 4M that's great numbers. No clue why dana has to lie so over the top with 6.5M. Now when when the real numbers come out instead of folks saying wow it did 4M-4.6M you going to have a lot saying haha what happened to 6.5M. Espinoza playing it right you under sell expectations so if you beat them great but if you don't well you never said it was.

Your post implies that the opinions of message board trolls are meaningful to multi-millionaires.

Is this a joke comment or are you just slow?
