Serious question, I am genuinely curious, if any fighter in any combat sports got their ass kicked in front of more people than Conor Mcgregor. It could be boxing, MMA, kickboxing etc.
Conor has got his ass kicked by Nate Diaz in the first fight (1.3 million PPV buys)
Conor got his ass kicked by Khabib (2.4 million PPV buys)
Dustin Poirier vs Conor Mcgregor 2 (1.6 million PPV buys)
Dustin Poirier vs Mcgregor 3 (1.8 million PPV buys)
Floyd Mayweather vs Conor Mcgregor (4.3 million PPV buys)
Adding all the PPV numbers up, it comes to a total of 11.4 million PPV buys. Lets assume the average PPV buy is for a household or gathering of friends of 4 people, but then we include places like sports bars and busy places that air the PPV to hundreds, so lets say average 5 per PPV buy)
5 x 11.4 million is a staggering 57 million people
Roughly 57 million people watched Conor get his ass kicked, and that's only the live audience of PPV buyers, and not including those who watch it through illegal streaming, watching on YouTube the day after, watching on MMAcore weeks later etc). If we include all that its probably close to 70 million people.
So, has any fighter in any sport come close to getting their ass whooped in front of more people than Conor? (approx 70 million). I can't think of any fighter that comes even remotely close
