McGregor/Khabib did almost 2mil buys more than Wilder/Fury

Cool.

Now maybe top ufc fighters shouldn't be paid peanuts compared to top boxers

 

[markg171]

Khabib's last PPV against number 11 LW still sold more than fury and wilder. And yeah the Russians don't buy ppvs but if the ufc is smart they will use this popularity to get a great tv deal in Russia

Only if you take the upper highest estimate, instead of what Meltzer actually said which was that it was estimated between 210-350k.

It quite possible sold 110K less than Wilder/Fury.

Khabib's next fight will do a tenth of his McGregor numbers

More like a fifth or more. Khabib did 350k against Al.

He did 210-350k according to Meltzer. Everybody just only says 350k because it sounds better for Khabib.

If he does 210k again that's a tenth less.

Those are numbers before the Khabib-Conor fight. Khabib is guaranteed to see an increase in PPV sales in his next fights, so there's no way he's doing 210k, lmao. 500k PPV sales on Khabib's next fight is a completely realistic expectation, which will put him at 1/5 compared to the Conor fight.
