450k for the best card in a long time. And that's being optimistic.

It's scary also to think that Roidy McHitandRun, after all the time he's been out, is probably still the biggest current draw in the sport - we have no guarantee Conor/GSP fight again.

I just can't see it. Outside of McGregor, it seems like fan interest in the UFC at an all-time low. Plus there's piracy. I'm setting my over/under at 600k.
I'll put 20 on the over
1m is probably high, but I think with how stacked the card is, it will beat the 1st matches buys

i would agree, i think the interest in UFC is dropping. Now illegal piracy numbers will hit over 1 million cause its free

I hate to say it, but MMA enthusiasm is the lowest I've seen it in years (excluding Conor effect, of course). Based on that, I'd say 750k tops. This card will be very revealing because it is absolutely stacked. If the buys are low, something may be very wrong with the UFC business model.

Maybe it's the piracy gaining steam. Jailbroken Amazon firestick is becoming more and more trendy from what I can tell from my circle of friends and acquaintances. UFC may have to switch to the free + HBO model sooner than they hoped.

Everyone that I know has one w/ Kodi. Hope the UFC is trying to get creative with their future business model.

The don't think the entertainment industry has grasped yet what a gamechanger the Kodi firestick is. Until now, many people avoided streaming because of the difficulty finding good streams and of course the fear of acquiring digital HIV. Kodi firestick breaks those barriers bigtime and so far at least, I haven't heard or read anyone acknowledging that.

I'm thinking 650-800. It does seem like McGregor's prominence has cast such a shadow that other fights don't seem as big to non-hardcore fans. It's a shame, because I think the current talent pool is unmatched.

I usually get a free overseas stream but I'm gonna have my buddy that lives in Asia buy this one for me because he gets a discount.

Our buddy Luke Thomas says no way it does 500k. Now usually I don't put much stock in MMA journalist opinions but they have a far better idea of the amount of buzz around an event there is.

I think has a lot to do with how this year was. UFC lost all the fan following momentum with wack ppv cards and didn't promote as much IMO.

Less than 500K. Hardcore fans will buy it but the fact is the Mcgregor vs Mayweather fight is overshadowing everything at the moment so i think this card will do worse than expected.
