Anybody know what PPV numbers were for the Rousey/Brazil event last weekend?

[Kirkland Laing]

Just interested. Is she really a massive PPV draw? She definitely gets the publicity.

Tried looking it up Kirk but couldn't find any direct numbers. There was an article they expect 2.5 million buys for her next big fight. I do know ufc has reported yearly declines in ppv buys since its hot time but I don't know a lot about it.

Dana says he's expected over a million. I think that's probably a reasonable number.

There's no way that breaks 2 million. The best selling PPV of all time was UFC 100 with 1.6 million buys, and that was a stacked card with title defences from two of the biggest draws in UFC history (Brock Lesnar and GSP).

For this UFC to surpass that would truly be remarkable.

900k. Pretty good by UFC standards but 2.5 million buys would be pretty dramatic jump for them. They have only done 1mil + 7 times ever.

Not bad at all, the highest since Weidman/Silva 2 almost two years ago.

Beat out McGregor/Mendes and Jones/Cormier, pretty impressive considering Ronda was fighting someone that nobody gave a chance of lasting a minute.
