Sho is projecting mid to high 4+ mil domestic PPVs for May/Mac. PPV is tracking to meet or exceed the all-time record of 4.6 from MayPac.

Confirmed this with Showtime officials. First reported by LA Times, ESPN and @davemeltzerWON (I believe). Should have final number soon.

Comments Thread For: Mayweather-McGregor is Trending To Break PPV Record

UFC President Dana White was either joking or misinformed a few days ago. White, in a video recording, stated that last Saturday's fight between Floyd Mayweather Jr. and Conor McGregor had generated at least 6.5 million buys on pay-per-view. If that were true, the number would easily break the current record of 4.6 million buys, which was set by Mayweather's long awaited showdown with Manny Pacquiao in May of 2015.

Dana White dont know **** he just wants to act like he is first to know things. Never liked nor trusted tha lying clown.

Even if it doesn't...4 million is A LOT of sales, but it'll likely get over that. I had no cable that night until like 2 a.m.

Pause, for a moment

The initial number being talked about is in the mid to hi 4m+ for the traditional PPV model.

That number likely doesn't count the stream from sho.com, the UFC's stream, or whatever other streaming platform that was utilized.

Let's give this two weeks to shake out

White adding almost 2million more PPV's. It makes you wonder how much do UFC PPV's actually make.

Why fans can't like both fights? Why does it have to be a competition?Both fights will bring money and fans into boxing.
