Most notably, the UFC 264 event is a majestic Trilogy between Conor McGregor and Dustin Poirier, which has made countless news paper reports, and this is also the first Vegas event to take place without any seats left empty.
Prior to the event, UFC President Dana White told fans and the media many times that UFC 264 was the most “first ticket” event in history. Therefore, the audience should buy PPV tickets (pay the live view) as soon as possible or otherwise there will be no chance.
According to White, until 8 pm – an hour before the main card, the number has reached 1.2 million to buy. Finally, when the event ended, this figure reached 1.7 to 1.8 million.
“I have to be careful with my statements, because we are now a public company – I can't speak hard. But I have to say that the number has reached 1.7 to 1.8 million.” – White answered the press conference after the match against MMA Fighting.
With a standard price of $ 69.99, the revenue from the UFC 264 event ranges from 118 million to 125 million USD – a huge number.
