The Conor-Cowboy card did 1.3 million. And that was after the switch to ESPN+ as the exclusive home PPV provider (which reduced exposure/buy rate).

Conor added 1 million subscribers to ESPN+ for the Cowboy fight, too. I'd expect him to add some more this time around.

It'll do at least 1.5 million
I crunched the numbers and your figures are WAY off.

Just realized Ottman Azaitar (the guy who got removed from tonight's event and cut by the UFC) is the fighter I really wanted to see. He's undefeated and has had two amazing knockouts in the UFC. What a waste of talent.

I hope whatever was in that bag was worth it. EPO would be my guess.

The only people cheering for Conor tonight, are Euro-trash, Dana White, and Florida Kyles.

Blaf said somewhere that early in the week it was already locked in to do 1.5million and trending up. So there's a chance it kisses 2 mill.

what happened? I saw a headline that he got removed, but all I heard was that he gave a wristband to someone not authorized to be in the safe zone. But he was smuggling shit? Or what the fuck was he doing? Weird way to get kicked out of the BLAF leagues

Forbes reporting that Conor is expected to earn $25M-30M after PPV from UFC 257, while Poirier is getting a $1M purse with a cut of the PPV coming on top of that.

I hope Poitier breaks his jaw and eats him up like a plate of boudin.

Finally an event where I am not on call and not out of town working a local event!
Looking forward to this card.

I thought tonight was supposed to be his debut?
