Enough money to warrant a rematch, even if it only did 50% of the numbers?

Thoughts?

That would be a million more than I was ridiculed for predicting. Still too early to have those numbers.

I wouldn't have thought before the fight that the numbers would've gone that high. But it seemed like the western world stopped to watch the fight so those kind of numbers wouldn't surprise me.

However take what Dana says with grain of salt, if he lies consistently and I do believe the UFC has been caught in the past lying about/fudging PPV numbers.

Snoop & Dana are both full of crap. Showtime says it's about 4.5 million:

Conor McGregor's improbable challenge of Floyd Mayweather was a box-office smash.

The fight reached between 4 million and 5 million pay-per-view sales with an estimated 50 million people watching in the United States alone.

According to preliminary numbers by Showtime PPV, the fight threatens the 4.6 million benchmark set by Mayweather's 2015 fight with Manny Pacquiao. At $99.95 a buy, the fight is tracking to generate more than $450 million in television revenue, much of which will be shared by the two fighters.

Estimates vary, but if an average of 10 people watched each pay-per-view Saturday night, the total audience would be in the 50 million range -- or about one in six Americans.

It didn't reach that much, and you are ridiculed because your opinions are pathetic.
