Rousey vs. Holm estimated at 1-1.1 million PPV buys

[Wild]

UFC 193 was an excellent event for the promotion, and that's putting it mildly. The stadium show in Melbourne, Australia will end up being one of the highest-drawing PPVs ever for the UFC, and they broke their attendance record as well.

Dave Meltzer of MMA Fighting reports that the PPV did an estimated 1 to 1.1 million buys, and that official attendance was 56.214. That puts it third or fourth all-time in PPV numbers, and breaks the attendance mark set at UFC 129 in Toronto, where they drew 55,724.

Yes I have reported on this previously. It was a shit card as well.

Even if Ronda choses to retire tomorrow, or comes back and loses her next 5 fights by first round knockout, it could never change the fact that she is a very special athlete who accomplished something that nobody could have ever dreamed of: a woman outdrawing the top men in a global sport. When has that ever happened before? Serena Williams maybe? But in a fight sport? If even 5 years ago you went on an MMA forum and said the UFC should start women's division because UFC card headlined by a women's fight could sell over 1m PPVs, people would laugh at you. You'd probably get banned for trolling.
