He already shattered his pay scale with his historical boxing bout with Floyd Mayweather. There were <a href=\"http:\/\/staging.tcpcharms.com\/bjpenn\/mma-news\/dana-white\/contrary-previous-reports-dana-white-claims-mayweather-mcgregor-broke-time-ppv-record\/\">numerous conflicting reports<\/a> about how well the blockbuster superfight performed, but not we have the true numbers and they&#8217;re still nothing to turn your nose up at. The SHOWTIME pay-per-view ended up doing 4.3 million in PPV buys, just 3ooK short of breaking the record that still holds solid for Mayweather&#8217;s fight with Manny\u00a0Pacquiao.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>SHOWTIME Sports confirmed today that the SHOWTIME PPV presentation of Mayweather vs. McGregor on August 26, 2017 generated 4.3 million pay-per-view buys in North America. This includes traditional television distribution and online portals such as the new SHOWTIME PPV app and SHOWTIMEPPV.com as well as UFC.TV in U.S. and Canada.<\/p>\n<p>Mayweather vs. McGregor, a four-fight SHOWTIME PPV boxing event at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, officially stands as the second largest pay-per-view event of all time behind Mayweather vs. Pacquiao, which set the North American pay-per-view mark at 4.6 million buys in 2015. The SHOWTIME PPV totals for Mayweather vs. McGregor far exceed the now third best event in history\u2014nearly doubling the 2.48 million buys for Oscar De La Hoya vs. Mayweather in 2007.<\/p>\n<p>The total global revenue from the event including ticket sales, sponsorship and international distribution exceeds $600 million, which\u2014along with Mayweather vs. Pacquiao\u2014 is among the largest for a single-day sporting event of all time. Mayweather and SHOWTIME PPV now account for the three highest grossing pay-per-view events in television history with the third-ranked event Mayweather vs. Canelo from 2013.\u00a0<span>\u2014<\/span>\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/severemma.com\/2017\/12\/showtime-sports-mayweather-vs-mcgregor-sold-4-3-million-ppvs-north-america\/\">SHOWTIME via an official press release<\/a>.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>These astronomical numbers are probably why Manny Pacquiao is claiming he is <a href=\"http:\/\/staging.tcpcharms.com\/bjpenn\/boxing-news\/manny-pacquiao\/breaking-conor-mcgregor-talks-another-gigantic-boxing-match-april\/\">currently in negotiations with Conor McGregor<\/a> for yet another gigantic boxing match. If this is true, it will be incredibly hard for the UFC to entice McGregor to come back to fight the likes of Tony Ferguson, Eddie Alvarez, or even Georges St-Pierre or Tyron Woodley. Surely, the combat world is this Irishman&#8217;s shiny oyster.
