UFC 196 PPV buys?

[robjenkins2]

Apparently the online buys were more than double the previous high, which is insane.

I don't know anyone with an interest in MMA who didn't buy that card. It's McGregor, ffs. The man is (was?) box office

I think Nate probably added at least 30% more buys.

 

[Psychedelic]

I refuse to purchase a card with McGregor on it.

You're such a rebel, man.

 

[danny23]

It got a lot of hype so I'd say,
around 1 million at the minimum.

Stories coming out about Dana White saying it did 1.5 million buys.

Huge numbers if true.

He did his part, of course. That's why he was chosen.

Here's the interview...

Dana says it did 1.5 million buys at 8 minutes in

 

[CoffeeAndBeer]

Needle movers.

 

[FimbulFightPicks]

About a million.

Id thought it would do more with Holly on the co-main but people don't seem to care about her

The thing is people would want to buy it for Holm, but the same people who would buy it for Holm more than likely already bought it because of Conor, so all her fans doesn´t change much. They´re on Conor too whether they´re "haters" or nuthuggers. At least thats what I´d think, like MOST of them at least this would count for.

1.7 million


They were saying it was trending bigger that UFC 100 (1.6 M)

Dana loves to say that stuff.

Average guess before the fight was pretty much 1 million.

 

[wonderbread]

I paid 70 bux for the fight and a 6mo Fight Pass Membership.. wasn't a bad deal.

 

[morethanwerdz]

I only buy Diaz Bros cards, probably many like me.

That was based on iPPV - http://forums.sherdog.com/threads/ufc-196-ippv-numbers-rumored-to-be-biggest-yet.3196443/unread

Can't compare iPPV numbers for 100 to 196. iPPV was not as popular.

It's cheap! That ppv to me is like change in my pocket! Made 8k from Conor that night!!

I had parleys all over the place with underdogs who went through, but I forgot to place a two parley on Diaz and Miesha only... I had Tom Lawler in most of them and he's the only one who didn't pull through. I also had Nate by sub in the third... If Lawler had one I would have gotten a CRAZY return.

I hate myself for mistakingly not doing a two way parley. I usually do pretty well on these underdog upsets, when the time is right to play. DAMN!

Sauce?

off topic but i love the Double Dragon vagajay punch in your avatar.

 

[HI SCOTT NEWMAN]

1.4 million I heard

Yeah that's why I do Yankee parlay so if one falls there's still others. Lawyers fight was close.... If he had won, I'd make 30k instead of 8k.... Fucking judges...
