3 of the top 5 all time PPV's?
He's not even in the top 5. He's certainly not got the highest selling PPV in combat sports history.

Who's more popular?
Hard to be the greatest star in the history of the sport when someone who hasn't even competed in a year still has more followers on twitter, eh?
Conor averages more buys than Floyd when you average 5 against 12+. How about in their last 5?
Fact is Floyd in just his last two sold as many, and possibly more PPV's than Conor's last 4 fights. And one of those was estimated around 400-550k for Floyd!

"If I have a full camp he wont touch me"
Hahahahahahahahahahaha
Then Nate cries excuses after Lmao
Nate's loss to Conor was one of the most embaressing and humilating ive ever seen
Conor beat down that "crackhead ese cholo"
I like Stipe, but if Stipe fans are gonna try to talk shit about Conor, then lets be brutally honest, Stipe shouldnt even be in the conversation...2 of his 3 wins were over guys who have been knocked out silly countless times (Arlovski and Overeem)It's Stipe
Good luck getting a job at the MacLife though.
Are you fucking retarded?
UFC PPVs
Conor holds 3 of the 5 highest selling UFC PPVs of all time
You said Conor wasnt even the biggest star in MMA history. .and I shot you down and destroyed you
Now youre deflecting because you know you got sat down
We are on an MMA board, it should be pretty self expanitory, with no pre-face needed.....
thats why I pre-face "combat sports" when thats needed.
PS..
get your shit straight though regarding Floyd
Go follow boxing insider Rick Glazier....he has exposed Floyd's PR team for releasing fake over infalted PPV numbers to the public again and again
Floyd did no where near those buys
Still did a shit ton, but no where near those exeggerated amounts
Conor averages more buys PERIOD...no spinning can change that...therefore Conor>>>>Floyd....
You want to bring up "but Floyd has had way more PPV fights"
Ok, Conor is only 28..Floyd at 28 was doing 300k buys against Gatti...thats pathetic..Conor IS FAR AHEAD OF Floyd's pace and ALREADY AVERAGES more buys...
The biggest thing you are ignoring too id THAT Floyd needed other names to sell
Where as Conor is doing MASSIVE numbers based soley on his work/name etc
Imagine Conor vs an actual big name like a Gsp...that gets close to 3 million buys
You further proved my point too...in todays social media age Conor REACHES far more people then past fighters ever could. Conor is by far the most popular fighter ever. Conor's numbers dont lie...
Conor by far the biggest star MMA has ever seen...and thats what I destroyed you on
You Conor hating newbs are the worst
Yeeah....noo
If beating sub par opponents in the minor leagues got you fighter of the year then there would be 100 fighter of the year winners every year
Conor is the only undisputed fighter of the year. Conor MADE HISTORY in the MAJOR leagues son...nothing beats that
So tapping means quitting nowNate didn't quit though. Conor quit long before the choke. He practically let himself be choked because he wanted no mas.
PSS
Also to correct more of your misinformation
You obviously got that amature hour list straight off google....newb
Conor's 196 and 202 events BOTH OUT SOLD UFC 100
Are you fucking retarded?

You Conor hating newbs are the worst
So tapping means quitting now
So many "quitters" across MMA history
You Conor hating newbs are ridicilous, just looking to grasp at any straws you can to hate, blindly
You know what was actually bad? Nate's corner threw in the towel against Thompson
Nate is a "quitter" PLUS excuse maker plus everything else then etc
Conor accepted Nate on short notice, when he didnt have to, and with everything to lose
Conor DOMINATED Nate for 7 minutes of an 8 minute fight...Conor gassed and then lost...
There was drama. It was an exciting fight.
Conor demanded a rematch and went right back in there at the same weight
He let Nate continue to stay comfortable at 170.
Conor with zero weight cut, again could only weigh 168lbs
Meanwhile Nate was around 200lbs
Also, remember all the talks of "bu but full camp Nate"
Nate: "If I have a full camp Conor wont touch me"
Beating full camp Nate>>>>>>the 1st short notice fight
Conor over came the biggest size disadvantage we have ever seen at the lower weights in MMA body percentage wise
With his pure skill and IQ Conor BEAT out 25lbs, 4 inches of height, and 2 inches of reach (Conor is the real proven P4P#1)
Conor with that win, AVENGED the only loss of his UFC career via OUT CLASSING Nate
People love to see over-coming adversity, and Conor over came his biggest adversity with an EMPH.
Conor was Ali coming back to beat Frazier
Conor learned from the Nate loss, and it took him to a whole nother level. No one is ever going to hang with Conor again.
Anyway, it was magical...lots of crow was served miles stacked high on cold hard plates...
Redemption!
Suprise suprise mother fuckers, THE KING IS BACK
Then Conor moved up in weight to Matrix fuck the champion ABOVE HIM, to make history
No one had a greater year
You want to talk about, "but what was the best narrative" (the excuse used to say Bisping was fighter of the year)
Well, narrative wise, what gets bigger then Conor, the biggest star in combat sports history, avenging the only loss of his UFC career, just months later
What gives you goosebumps like this
And then instantly after that, literally 4 months later, Conor then MADE HISTORY son
Nothing gets bigger then all of that, especially Conor accomplishing all that in a span of months
Conor was the undispued fighter of the year
I already know the Conor hating newbs will latch on to "bu but was 2-1"
Robbie Lawlor was 2-1 when he won fighter of the year, and he didnt accomplish half the things Conor did
So thats an invalid excuse
Just a "convienient cop out" for Conor haters to latch on to. If Conor was undefeated, then it would be on to finding another hater excuse to latch on to
When it comes to pure accomplishments, natratives, magical feelings, only Conor had it all covered
Conor broke fight records and PPV numbers...NO ONE HAD a better year, period
Conor again was the undisputed fighter of the year. No one else made history, no one else's year had themes of redemption PLUS history PLUS Matrix like performances PLUS broke PPV records
Saying anyone else but Conor is pure hate
