Could McGregor sell out a football stadium?

[AMST Vallon]

Joshua just sold out a 90,000 seater stadium with klitschko last night..

with the right opponent could mcgregor sell out wembley aswell? or any other big football stadiums in europe?

 

[HAWTRIDDUM]

Mcgregor vs steven seagal or jcvd would sell out any stadium in the world

 

[bladee]

definitely maybe

 

[Cro Cop Is Back]

In Dooblin? Fook yah

 

[12ga.]

Of course if tickets are priced right. Hell any UFC show could if tickets were $5. All that matters is gate though. Could he do 70 million like Mayweather should be the question.

 

[Mr. Danger Waffles]

Yeah, why not. It's all about the venue and the ticket price.

 

[Goatenstein]

Not one full of real men from the USA watching real football. A stadium full of Eurotrash watching Sissy Kickball might happen on a useless island USA wannbeland.

Nah i doubt u could comp out a mighty mouse fight in a 100k arena

 

[ZuffaExecutive]

He could sell out a stadium in ireland easy,probably do wembley with him vs nate or him vs floyd.

 

[fedoriswar37]

By himself outside of ireland. No. With the right card most definatly though

 

[wilKO]

Yeah. Easily. He's the biggest draw in combat sports. Will Dana ever give us what we want? No.

You just offer free catering of assorted cheeses to have a nibble or two on throughout the night. Extra security would be needed though to prevent the leftover toothpicks from encouraging sword fights.

 

[ALAN PARTRIDGE]

definitely maybe

 

[Coconut Joe]

There was a time (right after the Alvarez KO) where the Irishmen had a ton of momentum and every MMA fans attention. He could have sold out a stadium (outside of Ireland) back then.

With each passing day Conor toils around, and not defending his title, interest declines, and a backlash begins.

Damn that would be great!

 

[jonnyboy316]

Pretty sure if they were to announce the McGregor v Diaz trilogy at Wembley it would sell out.

A UFC event featuring Conor would sell out Croke Park (seating capacity 74,000) in Dublin for sure, although if the UFC is too greedy with the ticket prices that could mean some empty seats, as many might choose to watch it at home or at the pub instead. But I'm guessing that many people who couldn't afford it would go anyway, do what they have to do to finance that once-in-a-lifetime special event, and Croke Park would be filled to the brim.

Probably not Wembley, he has made some headway in terms of being somewhat well known in the UK(better than any previous MMA fighter bar Rousey, way better than Bisping) but I doubt he could draw that much interest.

In the US perhaps although you have the issue that fans are much more spread out, Webmley not only has a massive local population but its within a few hours drive/train of most of the UK.

 

[Megalodon]

He could sell out Croke Park.

Can't see him selling out Wembley, although he's famous in the UK they just don't care about the sport of MMA.

 

[Draper1986]

Haha McGregor would sell out Wembley in a day no matter who he is fighting. The public in the UK view McGregor as one of the biggest sports stars in the world.

Ps. UFC events sell out in minutes in the UK. Its massive here
