I read that 1.5 million would break the record but i thought the record was 1.6 million for ufc 100. Huge numbers from Conor though. That's why he's paid so much and why everyone wants to fight him. All the more reason I want Frankie to get the next shot. If any man deserves a payday it's him.

Great if the fights arranged in advance and he turns up.....McGregor should stop this making everyman rich because opponents pull, if they pull so should he .....he goes into these fights with nothing to win, they go in with a ready made excuse and become very wealthy on the back of it.......tough for the fans but still

Its easy say that now but until last week he hadn't lost one of those replacement fights. Plus as Gamebred pointed out, big bucks for him to take the fight. He fought Diaz, got paid 10m plus and broke the ppv record. Despite the loss he still did pretty good.

Of all the bullsh*t nonsense posts on here over the last week you pick on the guy who gives a detailed and reasoned account of his opinion. This is where all the fanboy vs hater crap is rooted.

There isn't much point in trying to discuss anything here from what I see. I'm pretty certain the only thing people here look for in posts is "Is he pro or anti Conor" and then design their responses accordingly "do I thank it or call it ****e". Certainly at this stage of the thread. You always get those few people living in a thread rubbishing everything people say if it doesn't fit with their own view.

According to Dana White

Conor he's great he fights anyone anytime anywhere.

And then...

Hollys management team are stupid I don't think Holly knows what they've done Miesha was always a dangerous fight to take and the Ronda fight woulda made her more money.

No Dana it's either your opinion both were nuts taking the fights they did or they are both warriors but logic isn't the man's strong point. As seen as this looks like it did 1.5m buys for the company you Dana should only have praise all fighters involved.

I'd say you could replace "the Ronda fight would have made her more money" with "The Ronda fight would have made me more money".

Conor will bring in the cash regardless but Holly v Rhonda would have been a much bigger fight than Miesha v Rhonda for Dana.

Well the good news for Dana is Ronda will beat Miesha and then Holly and Ronda rematch anyway.

Gamebred · 11-03-2016 8:03pm

What would that card have done without Conor? about 400k I'd guess it was pure garbage outside the co mains,Even if Conors ppv pull wains he will easily bring in 700k plus in future as headlinging a ppv,wins again he will be flavour of the month again with more records.

He probably wanted the big one for UFC 200.

To be honest after seeing the shape Ronda is in, she ain't gonna be ready for July regardless. Plus she has movie commitments til October.

To be fair there is a slight difference. If Holly waits 2/3 months for Rousey, Rousey v Holm 2 could have headlined its own card and made Holm a decent chunk. She choose to take the Miesha fight... Any old fight could have been co main on 196 really

McGregor stepping up to fight Diaz saved the card but McGregor would've made similar (prob slightly less) regardless of who he fought.

Edit: Dana is also a hypocrite at the best of times so you do have a point.

Isn't McGregor apparently on as high as $7 for every buy? So that over $10M plus the $1M and presumably he gets a cut of the gate and sponsorships etc?

UFC100 was 1.6m. But the cost of a PPV has probably increased in the last few years. So chances are this one took in the most in terms of $$.

McGregor is pulling in crazy numbers. UFC will break 2m imo

Can anyone tell me why this isn't up on Fight Pass yet?

Hasn't been a month yet. It should be up early next week.

Seems like a long time to wait when you've actually paid for it.

If you bought the fight on PPV you should still be able to watch it, I bought it on YouTube and can still watch it.

Cheers for that. For some reason it's saying I have to pay for the event but I'm guessing that it's maybe coz my Smart TV is permanently logged in to fight pass and if I try to access on my phone or tablet it won't allow duplicates. I haven't tried accessing it on my TV yet. Must give it a go.

Tazzimus · 01-04-2016 4:29pm

I'm having a similar issue, possibly because I watched it on the xbox and I'm trying to watch again on the PC.. May try the xbox when I get home

maximoose · 01-04-2016 4:31pm

I think rewatching on the Xbox is restricted to 24 hours after the event, could be wrong though

JustTheOne · 01-04-2016 8:39pm

Tv3 show it the next night, just record that and you can watch it as many time as you please:)

You're assuming I have a sky/virgin box to record it on.

Yeah that kind of pisses me off, if I pay for an event I'd expect to be able to rewatch it without having to pay again. If I pay 25 euro for the event its very stingey of the UFC to only give me 24 hours access to it. I was in a different country the time of Conor v Aldo and bought the even expecting to watch it a day later and had to illegally acquire it after paying for it.
