Cyborg vs. Holm looks to have been third-biggest PPV of 2017

[OzoneX]

UFC 219, built around what looked to be the biggest marquee women’s fight UFC could put together, Cris Cyborg vs. Holly Holm, is estimated at doing 340,000 to 380,000 buys based on preliminary numbers.

The number would be the third-biggest of 2017, trailing only fights headlined by Daniel Cormier vs. Jon Jones and Michael Bisping vs. Georges St-Pierre.

Good marketing angle. What other ppvs does anyone even remember? And I doubt the the PPV touched 300k. Ufc always lying about PPV numbers to promote stars.

It was an intriguing fight. Glad it did decent numbers.

In before salty WMMA haters.

 

[Polish Machine]

Thanks to Khabib.

In before salty WMMA haters.

I hate WMMA.

Not because I hate women competing.

Because outside of the top 4 - 5 females, 99% of WMMA fights are complete shit.

They paid for the Eagle, not the broads.

Decent numbers, but it was a year full of average PPV buyrates. Something had to be third place, this just happened to be it.

If Khabib Ferg does under 300k I will bumb some posts.

Ufc doesnt tell their ppv numbers

Thanks to Khabib.

And Cyborg, I'd say.

Shitty year for PPV, skewing stat is skewing.

 

[Which Doctor]

Cyborg & Tito put butts in seats.

 

[kimocomplex]

Well there were only 12 PPVs all year

Several that had last minute changes

 

[TIMELESS TRUTH]

Hopefully this means Cyborg has to fight Amanda Nunes now, that match might actually be fun. Too bad Holly vs Cyborg was so damn boring though. All of Cyborg's UFC fights have been awful when you really think about it...

I predicted under 300K for the ppv, and Cyborg to win a decision in a slow paced fight where she couldn't take Holly down and Holly would non-stop run. (I also predicted Hillary over Trump.)

 

[Pakuded]

Cyborg is a destroyer. People like seeing destruction, some of you salty bitches can't get over cyborg so you assume everyone has the same view as you.

I've enjoy her performances each and every time because she destroys people.

Good work Borg

 

[thobra]

Cyborg is a big star, And by far the greatest WMMA fighter we have ever seen. Even guys that usually don’t watch WMMA like her fights.

I am happy she can finally get the recognition she deserves.

 

[Thepaintbucket]

No wonder Dana White super glued the belt to Conor Mcgregor.

 

[Post 2 Decision]

I couldn't even find a bar that was showing it, non of the usual places even showed it.
