Dana White’s predictions and projections for UFC 229 as blowing away all numbers in company history look to be accurate as worldwide pay-per-view numbers are currently estimated within the industry as being just under 2.4 million.
The show featured the return of Conor McGregor, the biggest box office draw in company history. He was challenging Khabib Nurmagomedov for the lightweight title that McGregor had won from Eddie Alvarez two years earlier, and was stripped for not defending it.
What’s most notable from a business standpoint is that the figures break down at around 1.9 million on traditional pay-per-view and 470,000 to 480,000 via streaming pay-per-view.
With late buys, it is most likely the final number would slightly top 2.4 million.
