    “The thing ended up doing 6.7 million pay-per-view buys globally,” said Dana White

    “How about this, we broke the record in Australia, we broke the record in the U.K. at 4 in the morning. We broke the record in Spain, Canada and the USA.”

    That means the fight raked in the neighborhood of $670 million in PPV revenue alone.

    Are you stupid? A child? A claim does not equal fact.

    The claim was made by Dana White you absolute ding dong.

    You have better access to the numbers for the fight than he does do you?

    Go get 'Google for Dummies' and then look up what White had to say.

    I know it was the highest ever PPV in Oz. I went to my local club to watch it mainly for Jack-Cleverly and the Gervontae Davis fight and it was packed.

    I agree,Amazing numbers if even close to true.Dana lies constantly while promoting UFC and to suit the company, but in this situation he doesn't really need to lie.Apart from Mayweather and Showtime,Dana would have the best idea of the numbers because of his fighter Connor getting a PPV cut from the event.
