Dana White: Conor VS Khabib is trending to do 2.5 Million PPV buys

[Cooliox]

“It’s massive,” White said of the UFC 229 pay per view on October 6th. “There has been a lot of talk about this thing doing 2 million buys. We’re trending right now at 2.5 million buys so that’s how big this fight is.

“The biggest fight we’d ever done was Diaz vs. McGregor at almost 1.6 million pay-per-view buys. Then we did the Floyd Mayweather fight.

“And now this by far is the biggest fight and one of the biggest fights ever in combat sports to be honest with you.”

I'm sure the UFC would never factor that into their equations.

Who cares, I am way more hyped to see Jon fight again. One day he will get his ass beat and I hope to see it.

"Remember that I told you this: in the next five to eight years, this thing's going to be the biggest sport in the world -- bigger than the [deleted expletive] NFL, bigger than Major League Soccer, bigger than World Cup soccer or whatever the hell they call it. Bigger than anything. So remember I told you that."

I'd be shocked if this card sells under 2 million

 

[209 Life]

1.3 to 1.5Million streams will be everywhere

I'm sure the Red Goof will say it did 2+ Million no matter what the real number turns out to be.

He's always exaggerating.

If he says 2 mill we both know it didn't.

Didnt be say Conor vs Floyd was trending at 6.5 million or some absolute bullshit lmao.

Vince McMahon could do more PPVs selling Conor fighting a mop.

Thanks for being honest with us, Dana. We can always count on you to be honest with us.
