If true... wowwww. It was huge, but 6.5 is otherworldly.
The Money Fight: mission accomplished.

Going to result in crazy crazy residual payouts for Mayweather, McGregor...and his bosses, WME.

6.5 million buys and almost 3 million illegal streams, very impressive indeed.

Bear in mind this is a "Dana says" report. May well be an exaggeration.

Not surprising really as the EU had to buy the fight as well. This fight was in every bar here in Edinburgh, and I am sure all over the UK. I was kind of surprised it was as big as it was over here. It seemed like more none fight fans knew about this compared to what I saw state side.

Sky Sports News heavily covered it. They built a lot of hype

Uk brought more boxing fans than mma fans compared to stateside, tbh, apart from Ireland of course.

Probably very true. From the group of about 20 or so I was with that night, half to three-forth were boxing fans or at least watched boxing more then mma

Everyone was happy with the fight as well. That makes a huge difference.
Conor McGregor has put on some of the most consistent fight entertainment over the last few years.
Big numbers are one thing. But people being happy with the fight, is a bigger deal.

Can't believe that until it's official, but holy smokes. I wonder what kind of numbers Conor can bring to the UFC after this.
If this really is the number, i expect more moron fights to be made in boxing soon, cause this is the kind of money people will chase for all it's worth.

WME is literally gonna throw money down Conor's throat to return.

Conor's going to get a decent stake in the UFC out of this.
