WOW! Mcgregor vs Khabib PPV sales did over 2 million!

[Diego Rodriguez]

It's actually 2.8 million PPV sales. Just short of the 3 million mark.

And the rematch would do in excess 4 million PPV sales after the stuff that went down after the fight

Yeah I thought I heard pre-fight projection was 3MM so this is closer to that. Would have been a pretty big miscalculation if only 2MM.

Interesting on a rematch, but that fight was so utterly one sided that I don't know. You probably are right. I don't think big UFC fights are as good as boxing but I will say that the total card is typically so much better than the under card for a fight.

They had 5 fights plus an extra one and I can say that most of the early fights were super entertaining too.

The biggest fight would be McGregor vs. Mayweather UFC fight. Maybe watching McGregor get beat not only on the ground but standing up will convince Mayweather . . . LOL I think not.

[Raggamuffin]

He probably has the best wrestling in mma and that alone means he could beat anyone, and what happened when they stood up? Con or got dropped and his power clearly didn't gaze khabib. He would beat conor everyday of the week. Only person who has a chance is Tony Ferguson.

He never landed his punch. It was a wrestling match. He just wore Conor out. He caught Conor once and quickly started wrestling again. That’s rematchable lol...

[RoyJonesJrp4pno1]

McGregor is the best thing going in combat sports right now. He is the best trash talker, has action-packed fights and is willing to fight any and everyone.

I hope he made close to 100M for this fight because he deserves it.

I like Kevin Lee but I don’t think he has anything for Khabib. You’re not going to beat Khabib if you’re predominantly a wrestler. Khabib wrestles Cain and DC and though Lee is a little more schooled on the feet, he’s no Conor. I think khabib will grind him out like Ferg basically did. Its a good matchup though and I’d like to see it some day. Only interested in Ferg tbh.

Dude has an iron will and is insane off his back and has an overall crazy grappling skillset.

Speaking of crazy, who has a catastrophic injury and comes back in 6 months to fight Pettis lol

The only guy that has a shot at beating Khabib is Ferguson and that fight is super cursed. Nick Diaz could have but he is way too inactive now.

UFC over hypes fighters a lot. Khabib isn't overhyped at all. This guy is legitimately terrifying. Even The Welterweight champion Tyron Woodley was like "I don't want no part of Khabib". Khabib runs through guys and takes souls.

[Boxing Goat]

How much will McGregor take home from that?

30-40 million. More than any other mma fighter had made in their entire careers not including endorsements.

Conor is the highest paid combat fighter in the world, AJ included. (now that Floyd retired, of course)

[bigjavi973]

Plus a cut from PPV sales or does it all go to the UFC?

ufc takes MOST of that money..... some, if not most, get barely a million on ppv fights

[NearHypnos]

You mean floyd and pacquaio? Manny and pacquaio is the same single person lol

Thanks, a hole. Lol. Didnt even realize I did that. Thought I had said Manny and Floyd. Guess Manny still has his nuts in my mouth from time to time lmao

Haha no worries bro, I suffered a brief period of the disease pacboy a few years ago during the maypac build up soon to be replaced by a feeling of dissatisfaction and bitterness post fight lol

[Real King Kong]

McGregor made a big mistake facing a real threat after a long layoff. he got rousey'd.

He was utter garbage this "fight".
