UFC 205 merchandise sales best ever for company

November 15, 2016 by Jason Cruz 6 Comments

The UFC sold more merchandise during UFC 205 than for any event in company’s history according to Darren Rovell.

UFC: UFC 205 at Madison Square Garden sold more merchandise than any fight card in the organization’s history.

Reebok introduced New York-themed clothing for the event which ranged in prices from $16-$50 per a report by the Sports Business Journal.

Payout Perspective:

The UFC expected $14-$15M in live event revenue from Saturday night’s debut in New York.  The good night in merchandise is a positive sign that the UFC would achieve its benchmark.  Saturday night was a good night for the company and it appears that business was very good.

    14-15m?

    Not including the gate? Because the gate was 17m.

    When your previous record is $1000 and you sell $2000 it’s the “best ever”

    It’d be nice to have more info

Houston may be losing but those Oilers colors are sweet

In an interview with Lara Trump, the #UFC CEO thinks that he will be investigated because of his ties to the president....Maybe also because his company received a "no bid" contract with the FBI at about the same time they threw an event on the White House lawn.

Sabs doing this with a little buzz, right?

Sean Duffy looks like a very dishonest guy to me.

I don’t believe a damn thing he is saying or the Homeland Security guy.

Both appear to be clueless and lying.
