>It is now official as was reported here last week that the PPV price will be $89.95 for SD and $99.95 for HD, the same as for the Mayweather vs. Manny Pacquiao fight. While at first when this fight was being broached, people were talking about 2.4 million buys as a conservative estimate, now there is an expectation of being the all-time record setting biggest total revenue haul for a combat sports event. You can get great odds if you want to gamble that the show will do less than 5 million buys in the U.S.

>For what this is worth, the promotion, in selling sponsorships, is telling potential sponsors that the show will do 7 million PPV buys in the U.S. alone and another 1.4 million in the U.K. Keep in mind that’s far more than what WWE did during the height of the Steve Austin era for an entire year and more than even UFC did last year when it set the single company record for most buys in a calendar year. Given that the all-time record for PPV in North America is the 4.6 million for Mayweather-Pacquiao, the idea of beating that record by more than two million buys sounds ridiculous on the surface.

WWE is fucking pathetic for allowing legitimate combat sports to have better promos and feuds than they have.

What sort of human being would spend $100 of their hard-earned money on this one-sided meme fight?

and then Vince said ''manlets don't draw''

and then NeetHammer and Wolfcuc repeated it

AHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

8.4 MILLION BUYS

LANKLETS BTFO

>>2872234
So this is a boxing match right? Is there anyone who actually thinks the MMA guy is going to win?
>>
>>2872234
watch this get worked into a 2nd and potentially even 3rd fight.
>>
>>2872270
Nope. But they are HUGE DRAWS so everyone cares.

Something Corbin, Big Cuckc and Roman will never be
>>
>>2872278
Haitch seems pretty desperate to have them on Raw. Which begs the question, why hasn't the WWE tried to bring in some ex MMA guys? Are Lesnar, Rousey and McGregor the only draws in the sport? Do the retired MMA guys just not care to work as a wrestler? I remember Tito Ortiz and Rampage being part of TNA storylines for a bit.

I have a feeling that Triple H thinks he and Floyd are closer friends than they really are. Like he constantly calls him trying to get him to hang out and Floyd always just blows him off. Triple H is basically a side bitch who thinks he's a main bitch.

desu, if Austin at peak had faced Mike Tyson at peak (as unrealistic as it sounds because Austin would have been destroyed), then you could have had similar numbers

the attraction here is the interdisciplinary meeting between two top guys

Nope. People are saying this but nothing will top the original match. Nobody likes repeats, the allure is gone, even if Connor wins the first
>>
>>2872252
You mean working himself into another tax bill. He is still trying to pay off his pac pay day taxes.
>>
>>2872352
Only because it was legitimately confusing.
>>
>>2872346
I know Austin broke all of Hogan's records, but you'd have to have The Rock (post-Hollywood career) vs Tyson to draw close to this imo. Austin isn't a household name quite like Rock and Hogan

LOL Austin would whoop Tyson's ass

>>2872234

Has no one seen the videos of Conor "training"? He is fucking terrible. I would honestly rather watch Corbin box Mayweather, because maybe Corbin could at least keep his goddamn guard up with throwing a punch.

Conor is a shitty little carny fighter, with terrible habits from that carny fighting for boxing. Anyone who pays a hundred fucking dollars to watch Mayweather box a special needs child needs their fucking head examined.

It's going to be like Carter playing LeBron 1v1 to 10.
>>
>>2872380
it just goes to show the difference name recognition and promotion in general can make, imagine if it was floyd vs some equivalent amateur boxer.

>>2872388

I would honestly rather watch LeBron James box JJ Watt. In the same way that two godawful football teams can play a great game against each other, two terribly, untrained boxers would at least be funny.

This is just going to be short and pitiful. The fact that the sort of utter mark that would pay money to see this shit still gets to vote is the problem with Democracy.

Same thing happened with Chris Brown and Stone Cold.

Sounds like its time to bring back brawl-for-all
>>
>>2872429
Floyd is more impressive because he's a boring as fuck fighter. How many big draws in the fight business has been boring? Only him and GSP. Conor, Ronda, Tyson, Pacquiao, Ali, etc. had entertaining fights which helped them.
>>
>>2872413
I wouldn't say that. Floyd became a megastar in 2007 after beating De La Hoya, back then no one even cared about his DV past. It did help in the Pacquiao fight tho because everyone wanted to see Manny KO him
>>
>>2872306
Reminder that HHH walked Floyd to the ring and no one acknowledged who he was
>>
>>2872429
The only reason this is a draw is because everyone knows the white man will get BTFO

That's right, white """"men"""" will literally pay 90 bucks to watch one of THEIR OWN get annihilated by a black manlet
>>
>>2872429
None of that made sense, but I think you know that.


And If we're being honest Conor became a draw by acting just like Floyd did in the 2000s. With crazy over the top bravado and bragging.

>people actually think mcgregor has a chance
this is a boxing match, not a fight

this boxing match basically is pro wrestling so it's hilarious if they make all that ppv money that wwe threw away with the network. this will kill whatever ufc fights are around this time.

>>2872451
same thing happened at a motorhead show. trips came out to introduce the band and no one knew who he was.
>>
>>2872270
He'll try to knock out floyd so he'll lose on points by a landslide and probably get disqualified. Floyd 's dad already said he has his lawyers ready to sue conor for assault charges after this.

>millions of normies spend $100 on this fight

>"why is he being such a pussy, why doesn't he fight like a man?!"
>Floyd wins resoundingly on points
>"boxing is dead, fuckin pussy sport"

The funny thing is that all of these people swore they would never watch another boxing match after the Pac fight, yet Floyd somehow convinced them to line up and hand him more shekels.

That man is a better promoter than Vince and Dana put together.

His negotiation tactics. Mayweather is the only fighter ever to get the concession stands. Every hot dog that is sold during his fights at MGM, gets a piece of. His PPV rev is like 38% when guys like GSP are getting 6%.
>>
>>2872270
brah everyone knows the Irish fellow is going to lose. thats what makes WWE look even worse. the wwe can create any feud they want and have whatever outcome they want yet they can't top this one side feud or any of the top MMA feuds in the past 10 years. UFC does pro rasslin better than WWE
>>
>>2873226
Conor isn't going to last 12 rounds. Not saying Floyd will KO him on a punch, but there has to be a ref stoppage when Floyd is just all over him. Watch the Mayweather-Gatti fight for example.
>>
>>2872270
No but it's already garnered more attention and interest than anything WWMeme has ever put out.
>>
I would only be interested in this fight under 1 condition, they can have a regular boxing match but they have to do so wearing MMA gloves

I don't know why anyone would tune in and actually go so far as to pay money for a fight we already know the outcome of

>potentially $1 billion made in one night

Vince must be so pissed.

>Largest Boxing PPV buys: 4.4-4.6 million for Mayweather vs Pacquiao
>Largest MMA PPV buys: 1.65 million for McGregor vs Diaz 2
>Largest WWE PPV buys: 1.217 million for WM28 (Rock vs Cena)

All modern boxing ppv buy rates that are high are of guys that are of smaller stature like Mayweather, De La Hoya, and Pacquiao, with some of their fights exceeding the Tyson heavyweight fights.

Outside some of the Lesnar fights, the high buy rate fights of the UFC are almost all universally smaller guys (lightweight/welterweight/middleweight) and even women.

WWE is the only one that's still stuck with their old fashioned "muh top guy always has to be big meaty heavyweight" style thinking, and look how far its gotten them. That's right, it got them nowhere at all.
>>
>>2873523
If they had 4oz gloves Mayweather would fucking die in the ring.
