Comments Thread For: Mayweather-McGregor Expected to Come in at 4.4 Million PPV Buys

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

BoxingScene.com has learned that Mayweather-McGregor is expected to have generated approximately 4.4 million domestic pay-per-view buys and that an official announcement could be made as soon as this week. That would mean that the highly publicized spectacle between boxing legend Floyd Mayweather Jr. and UFC superstar Conor McGregor, while wildly successful financially, didn't break the pay-per-view record for combat sports. Mayweather's maligned win against Manny Pacquiao still owns that distinction.

I thought they would beat Pacquiao's record of 4.6 million but Floyd couldn't beat him in the ring so how could he beat him out of the ring?!!

Mayweather-Pacquiao generated more than $600 million in overall revenue, including a live gate of nearly $72.2 million at MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas, also a record for combat sports. Mayweather-McGregor, which produced a live gate of approximately $55.4 million, still could surpass the overall Mayweather-Pacquiao revenue figure because of international pay-per-view earnings and other profits.

That's gonna put Floyd at about 24M PPV buys. 5M more than the closest challenger.
