Current estimates on Jon Jones vs. Daniel Cormier are at 860,000 buys, or very close to what their first match did. Given that it was only four weeks before McGregor vs. Mayweather, that’s a great sign and also says that when you give people a big show, they will buy at the same level if not more than in the past, and that the declines are with the low end shows.
That number also indicates that Jones vs. Brock Lesnar has a real shot at breaking the McGregor vs. Nate Diaz II company record. Most predictions going in were 500,000 to 700,000, so it beat even the most optimistic expectations

Three weeks earlier, the UFC PPV (213) did between 130,000 and 135,000 buys.

He also said that UFC profits about $19m off of 214

I know I'm new on here, but as Drake @Drake can verify (he told me to post here), I'm pretty good on business relates aspects to MMA.
This is not the final number, so depending on your betting threshold you might want to hold off
I can be as high as 900k or as low as 800k once all numbers come in.

How he gets numbers:
He has contacts with all the distributors due to 30 years of WWE PPV
Some like DTV release numbers early. Others wait until a certain day per month or a certain time after a PPV (however they do their accounting)
Once enough of a % comes in to do an early number, he releases that
When WWE was doing monthly PPV, his numbers were very accurate (5-10%) of what they reported publicly (they had to report exact numbers)

The monkey wrench is I-PPV's, bc those are internal.
But he figures that % out in his final numbers
