Payout Perspective:
It’s astounding that a standing room only ticket at the cavernous T-Mobile Arena is going for $424. It goes to show the interest in this event and the pull of Conor McGregor. While an estimated 3 million PPV buys is hard to imagine, the gate should be near the record for the T-Mobile Arena for a UFC event of $10.7M for UFC 200.
