Did UFC 205 PPV numbers and fighter pay get released?

[DariusTheGreat]

I'm curious was it disclosed? And if so where can i find it?

I know that the gate for UFC 205 broke the record for both the UFC(UFC 129: Georges St-Pierre vs Jake Shields at Toronto’s Rogers Centre $12.075 million) and Madison Square Garden at $17.7 million( beating the previous record of 1999 Evander Holyfield vs Lennox Lewis boxing match at $13.5 million) and did a record 2.4 million viewers on fox.

So how many records has Conor broken so far?
I know that now he has the best performance bonuses streak in UFC history at 8 in a row.
UFC 202 and 196 were the 2nd highest (Diaz)
UFC 194 was number 4 (Aldo)

I wonder how 205 will do.

P.S. Conor said that by the end of 2016 he would've banked $40 million just this year.

Only thing I am seeing is reports that it did not do more buys than 202

 

[Tamriel Terror]

not the most ppv buys ever. As expected tbh. Nate vs Conor was far more interesting to casuals, and lol at people thinking it would break 2 mil

Also, note that ALL UFC PPV numbers are just a guess. They have never released any official numbers. People just believe whatever they are told.

Im starting to think Dana bullshits about PPV numbers. He never releases them as if he has something to hide, why not just release them?

Bloody elbow article says
"If we go by the preliminary buy prediction for UFC 205, which is around 1.6 million buys, Conor McGregor has drawn an estimated six million buys in a 12 month period. Remember, the entire UFC roster drew 3-3.2m in 2014. Conor McGregor drew double that, on his own, in 12 months."
Says they use Meltzer newsletter as a source.

Is it not blatantly obvious why they dont release them?

The same reason they made backroom bonuses so popular,it was so that nobody knew what anyone else was earning,and bring in numbers and facts against the ufc when they renegotiate there contract

 

[ZuffaExecutive]

I dont believe anyone's numbers other then meltzers.But dana said it broke the ppv record for what that is worth

And there pay minus ppv was released yes.I believe conor got 3.5m guaranteed

 

[Threetrees]

PPV buys are never released
just estimated by Meltzer

And

No fighter pay will be released from this event, NYSAC doesn't release events

 

[jmd69]

The Donald said the pay per views were HUUUUGE

 

[Rubberchin]

Early estimates are 1.4 - 1.6

Interesting to note that UFC 194 did not get more buys than UFC 193 according to Meltzer. Apparently 194 did 1,025,000 and 193 did 1.1 million.

Of course 196, 202 and now 205 look to have all done over 1.4 million.

Why is this info interesting though?

Cause its supposedly the biggest UFC event in history so i was wondering how many ppv's sold and how much money was made because of it. Just curious.
