UFC 223 does 210k-360k PPV buys

[TheBulletwithWings]

No it wouldn't have. Tony's last PPV did 200K

Against Kevin lee.
This was s promoted event that fell apart

 

[Fight Professor]

BUT CONOR'S ANTICS AND KHABIB'S STAR POWER!!!!!!!!11111111111111

It would have done half that without Conor, cancelled fights or not. Conor gave the card a ton of publicity.

Lol at Khabib or Tony being a draw.

 

[Gambit MMA]

i thought it would do 400-500k if the original main stayed in tact and even if max still fought. considering it turned into khabib vs raging al, with like 2 other fights being called off if it does 350k id say it did ok

 

[Jack Swilling]

Kaboob has zero leverage
Boring fighter, and the numbers do not lie

 

[dertdent]

This confirms it. Russians don't buy ppv.

 

[Gilday]

It's almost like when you throw shit at a bus and ruin half the fights it DOESN'T increase the PPV buys

Who'd have thunk it

 

[French Canadian]

I proudly streamed it. Who the fucks pays for PPV when it's litteraly faster to go on a streaming website than order it ?

Yo...Danny Green....no speaky Engrish? INTACT is one word. Also, around the world, people use caps for names (Max, Khabib, Al)

Russians buy Vodka.......

 

[No Name Needed]

So did Dana White flat out lie to the public?

That quote from Dana was from when it was still Holloway/Khabib. And that fight was actually trending insanely high, especially considering neither headliner is a huge PPV draw

 

[markg171]

This was s promoted event

 

[Chad W]

I'm honestly surprise it did that much. I thought at most 200k buys

People really acting like Khabib isn't a draw based off of this? It went from the best matchup in years vs Ferguson to then Max who's injured & then Raging Al, of course the ppv buys wouldn't be huge.

its english not engrish, idiot

I don't think people realize how poor Russia is. It's a total shit-show. The country is like a little New Jersey mixed with some Mississippi and topped with some Indiana.

1M people would pay to see Conor fight a hobo at the Denny's.

Yeah I bet they sure missed out on all 3 of Ray Borg's fans no longer buying the fights.

 

[dertdent]

Apparently interest on the internet did not translate to ppv sales.

 

[JKS]

So Khabib in his first title fight vs a guy who's been in a co main on a fox card does around 300k?? Pretty good

Here they are.
