it is what it is

Whois Bivol?

Indeed, it is what it is.

Enjoy the highlights while you're at it.

The Canelo numbers aren't accurate given that it aired both on DAZN PPV & traditional cable / satellite. Someone always cherry picks one of those numbers and says it covers it all, same thing they did with the Paul vs Woodley 2 fight.

MMA promoters are worlds ahead of boxing. And despite MMA judging being bad at times, it's much more objective compared to boxing. Boxing judging is criminally biased imo.

To be fair, everyone at the bar was watching the Canelo fight instead of that WMMA championship "fight". Those watching the UFC at home probably took a 25 minute shit break

Ufc is dying

 

[Greg House]

That's the face of boxing? LMAO

He should have waited for UFC to end the event like the last time!!

DAZN’s first big ppv ever against an absolutely stacked UFC card., they don’t have the subscription base tbh. As a percentage of subscription base the Bivol fight (with a non-existent undercard btw) did amazingly well.

Additionally, .... Canelo himself made 10x the entire UFC cards’ roster.

So, enjoy the ultimate slave fights.

That's crazy. UFC 274 card wasn't a very good card top to bottom, other than a single fight which was a main event fight. And probably Tony vs Chandler.

Oliveira is becoming a star. He headlined the best selling card of the year thus far, and he became one of the most followed active fighters on social media over the course of a weekend.

 

[You Will Vote For Dreyga]

REST IN PIECES BOXING!!!

 

[Ackmed]

400K doesn't like a lot for the highest UFC PPV of the year so far, especially considering we're almost at the halfway point of the year.

Islam vs Oliveira could potentially be the biggest selling event of 2022.

 

[Pious Augustus]

Whois Bivol?

the guy who beat Canelo

 

[HHJ]

Why do people want boxing to die? that is so stupid.

 

[MarleyLynx]

Boxing has been dead. People use outlier numbers to say it beats out MMA despite the consistency of MMA vs boxing.
Just ignore the low IQ

 

[HatKick]

Whois Bivol?

A waaay better boxer than Canelo in every way. Hopefully he moves down to 168 and takes all Canelo's belts.

 

[Sweater of AV]

400K doesn't like a lot for the highest UFC PPV of the year so far

Agreed, that's actually the biggest takeaway from all of this.

 

[HHJ]

probably Tony vs Chandler.

Probably? that was a great fight

 

[LetThemBleed]

400+k buys is the UFC's best? Jeez no wonder they'll give Conor a fight against whoever he wants when he comes back, be the only guaranteed PPV of the year to break 1 million buys.
