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

@Josh_HokitUFC You’re gonna cry you were cancelled by the left for “free speech”. And then you’ll post 200 times a day on Twitter until fox and friends invites you on to “tell your story”. And after that you’ll run for congress and your campaign will be centered on white grievance.

This is

Real question. Was this announced or is there an intern somewhere that is taking note of ever fighter’s follow and unfollow?

Ian Garry unfollowed PFL fighter Alexei Pergande after a clip resurfaced of him taking down Garry in sparring:

"Ian Garry is lying about me... I'm not sure why he made up a lie [about me filming him without permission]."
