Conor McGregor has revealed the number of PPVs sold for UFC 257, which was headlined by his rematch with Dustin Poirier.
McGregor’s UFC career has taken a rather drastic nosedive, but there’s no denying that he is still the biggest name in the sport.
The Irishman brings a frenzy with him wherever he goes. He’s arguably the only UFC fighter to end up on the celebrity A-list.
As a result, he’s a HUGE PPV draw, it’s the reason Dana White has put up with all of his nonsense and controversies over the years.
McGregor has been keen to remind people of it, too, having taken to Twitter to leak a PPV document showing that the UFC 257 card, headlined by him and Dustin Poirier, sold over 1.5m PPVs.

Still, you can’t blame McGregor, who has received his fair share of stick and is just trying to remind people he is still the superstar of the game.
