UFC 225, a show that was supposed to feature two title matches, is currently estimated at doing about 250,000 buys on pay-per-view.
The number has been the subject of controversy over the past several days because of a Los Angeles Times original report that listed an industry official saying the show did less than 150,000 buys.
That number would have been considered low, and perhaps shockingly so for the event, although the two title matches didn’t feature any fighter with a drawing history.
UFC attorney Hunter Campbell claimed to the Los Angeles Times after the article that the estimate was a “material misrepresentation” of how the show did and was short by “something in excess of six figures,” but would not give a number.
