Dana White: "UFC 196 broke the record last time, 202 is trending to break it again"

Conor's new contract excludes ppv points. He makes a flat $10,000,000 now.

Not true, he makes $10m+ PPV's points.

Obviously not on the same scale he used to get ppv points, but the UFC and Conor would never sign a contract at a flat rate for very different reasons.

LOL they cant even sell out the arena and lowered seat prices twice

I doubt it beats 196 or 100

None of the events sell out at premium ticket price, every event goes through what 202 is going through including the 2 you mentioned, Sholler said in the 204 presser earlier that 202 will be a top 5 all-time gate for the company.

Dana has said this many, many times before. "This card is trending to to be the biggest ever..."

It wouldn't surprise me if he was exaggerating that UFC 196 broke the record to hype the rematch. Why wouldn't the UFC have said that back in March and instead just weeks before the rematch? You can't believe anything Dana says.

If confronted, he'd probably say something like "Well, I meant in terms of blah blah blah it was the biggest ever!"
