You're shooting too low here bro, that would easily sell over 150 million ppvs
A Larry David you are not my friend.

McGregor vs. Diaz II did 1.6mil and GSP routinely does 800K plus. GSP is at is highest point in terms of marketability ever after he choked out Bisping. McGregor also is bigger than he ever has been. He just did 4.3mil with Mayweather and Mayweather NEEDED McGregor to sell that. Remember Floyd couldn't even break 400k vs Berto. At the absolute pinnacle of Floyds career his was drawing 1mil buys without a huge name like ODH or Pac Man.
I could see GSP vs McG doing 3mil+ easily.
DC vs. Stipe sells a max of 450k. GSP vs. McGregor does over 2mil buys easily and probably 3mil with the DC vs Stipe & DJ vs TJ on the card.
I'm not a wmma hater but cyborg vs Nunes over gsp v Woodley is a bit nutsFor the record the best fights possible from a "Merit Stand Point" are....
1. DC vs. Stipe
2. TJ vs. DJ
3. Khabib vs. Tony
4. Cyborg vs. Nunes
5. GSP vs. Woodley
6. McGregor vs. GSP
7. McGregor vs. Nate
Obviously McGregor vs. Khabib/Tony is right up there with DC vs. Stipe, but that fight isn't possible atm.
What's plan A then? I believe that is their plan A... UNLESS they wanna see what kind of numbers those guys can pull togetherYeah that as a co-main for DC vs. Stipe is the UFC's plan B IMO.

Cyborg & Nunes are active fighters with many recent title defenses. GSP is obviously on of the GOATs and Tyquil is a very good fighter, but Cyborg vs Nunes is an actual champ vs champ fight between the best P4P WMMA's on the planet.
Plan A is having McGregor headline fight week and the GSP fight is the biggest of those fights.
Plan B is DC vs Stipe headlining.
Lol no it doesn't. Who is going to buy the card that wouldn't buy GSP v. McGregor? The number is a lot smaller than you think.
let
let it go, the plan is to have connor fight winner of khabib vs tony. even his own fans have had enough of the not defending or fighting.
Not to nitpick, or anything.
No, fuck it. I’m going to nitpick.
The name of the champion, or higher ranked fighter goes first.
IE... Stipe vs DC, at 125 MM vs TJ, at 135 TJ vs MM. Tony vs Khabib.
UFC 202... Diaz vs McGregor ll. They couldn’t very well rank Conor higher than Nate at WW considering they just fought, and Nate won. At 196 they could do it. But, not 202.
The only way the UFC is selling 3 million PPVs is with a Floyd Fight
Or Punk vs Cyborg
A Larry David you are not my friend.
DisagreeCause that ONE card generates more than both combined. It's on fight week and more people are gonna say fuck it and buy one loaded card then two separate cards.
Is the UFC gonna stand pat with a DC vs. Stiped headliner, or are they going to go after a huge fight for the headliner? My gut is telling me that DC vs. Stipe is destined to be the co-main on a legendary.
My prediction of the fights they re trying to book for the main are....
1. GSP vs. McGregor
2. Mcgregor vs. Khabib/Ferg
3. GSP vs. Woodley
After the main and co-main I am guessing the have DJ vs TJ as the 3rd title fight on the card.
Main Event: One of options 1-3
Co-Main: DC vs. Stipe
Co-Co-Main: TJ vs DJ Super Fight
Yes Dana will do anything to stop StipeDC vs Stipe is by far the main event. The LHW and HW champs fighting for the HW belt, are you kidding? No fight should be bigger. How many times has that ever happened, the LHW champ challenging for a second belt? I'll save you the time and tell you: it's never happened before.
there are the 200k that buy any and every UFC ppv. Then the "Big Name" cards get an additional 300-400k. The can't legit super stars get another 400-600k. Thats the same for boxing too. So your max buys are 1mil for GSP and 1.5ish for McGregor for a "normal" fight.
Now how do explain those crazy cards that get 2-4mil buys? It is beause those mother fuckers turn into a spectacle that people just can't miss. People who have never bought a PPV are gonna buy it.
McGregor vs GSP is a MASSIVE fight, but you add DC vs. Miocic and DC vs. TJ and it becomes a fucking spectacle.
The Russian card is a fight night card and not ppv.. But correct in that he won't fight on the July card, as he will be fasting during that period.If Khabib wins, he ain't fighting on that Card, he's gonna do the Russia event they keep talking about. If Khabib wins, I still doubt he'll want to fight on that card unless he's the Main Event. I'm damn sure with his ego and mantra as King that he would never allow himself to play second fiddle on any Card, even DC and Stipe.
