“500k PPV buys 302 executed. A nothing burger,” McGregor mentioned.
The PPV statistics from UFC 302 haven’t been publicly disclosed as of this writing. However, if McGregor’s claims are true, the UFC 302 PPV may’ve fallen beneath expectations for the promotion.
McGregor is scheduled to return to the Octagon on June 29 in opposition to Michael Chandler at UFC 303. He hasn’t fought since a loss to Poirier at UFC 264, a struggle through which he snapped his leg on the finish of the primary spherical.
At his peak, McGregor was one of many largest PPV stars in UFC historical past. He headlined among the largest struggle playing cards in MMA historical past, together with big-name clashes in opposition to Nate Diaz and UFC Corridor of Famer José Aldo.
Poirier might doubtlessly retire after the loss at UFC 302. He’s anticipated to finalize his choice on retirement within the coming weeks.
McGregor stays one of many UFC’s largest PPV attracts, and if his claims are to be believed, two of his adversaries didn’t put up an identical outcome.
