Mofo2 Posted September 7, 2017 Share Posted September 7, 2017 SKY SPORTS today told Boxing News that the Mayweather-McGregor event achieved in excess of 1m buys, and has broken the record set in April by Anthony Joshua’s titanic victory over Wladimir Klitschko. It also trumps the UK audience for Mayweather’s 2015 showdown with Manny Pacquiao. This news follows reports in the USA that the August 26 contest – which ended when Mayweather stepped on the gas in the 10th round to halt an exhuatsed and outclassed McGregor – generated a massive 6.5m buys to beat the previous best of 4.2m set when Floyd Mayweather defeated Pacquiao. The figure of 6.5m, which came via Dana White, is thought to be on the high side, though; Showtime have not yet released the official sales number.

blackrican23 Posted September 7, 2017 Share Posted September 7, 2017 I am awaiting official numbers Ellerbe claimed they had set the live gate record with over 80 million in revenue surpassing Pac May' s record of 72 million but numbers released said they made just a shade over 50 million so I wont be surprised if its not a PPV record either Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
