Conor McGregor Sets UFC Record With Eight Consecutive Million PPV Buys
Conor McGregor has set an unparalleled UFC record by achieving over one million pay-per-view (PPV) buys for eight consecutive events, a feat that left UFC Hall of Famer Daniel Cormier stunned, especially since neither he nor Jon Jones ever reached that milestone. This record stretches from McGregor's rise in 2015 through his peak years, including his historic bouts against Jose Aldo, Nate Diaz, Eddie Alvarez, and even his crossover boxing match with Floyd Mayweather, which added a ninth consecutive million-plus PPV event. McGregor's success is credited with significantly elevating the UFC's global profile and financial value, with over $90 million in gate revenue and more than 12.5 million total PPV buys during this period. UFC president Dana White has recognized McGregor as a transformative figure who accelerated the sport's growth and remains one of its biggest stars despite his recent inactivity following a severe leg injury in 2021. Comparatively, Brock Lesnar ranks second with four consecutive million-buy PPV events, underscoring McGregor's dominance in drawing audiences. While McGregor's fighting frequency has decreased due to injuries and other issues, his legacy as the UFC's biggest PPV draw endures, maintaining his status alongside Dana White as the face of the promotion.
