News has just come in that UFC 202 has made history as one of the three biggest pay-per-view events in company history.
The earliest pay-per-view estimates are ranging from 1.2 million to 1.5 million buys, which would put in the top three, along with UFC 196 in March and UFC 100 in 2009 as one of the three biggest events in company history.
Based on UFC’s Internet-based numbers of orders, the number could exceed that.
The live gate of $7,629,010 was the fifth-largest in company history, although major show gates are escalating because UFC has charged record ticket prices for its shows headlined by McGregor, as well as UFC 200, over the past year. Live ticket sales themselves didn’t indicate any kind of record level interest.
