Now, let me tell ya, if you’re one of them folks who like a good ol’ UFC match, then you might be wonderin’ just how many folks is watchin’ UFC 302 and buyin’ them PPVs, ain’t ya? Well, I’ll tell ya, it’s been a topic o’ conversation all over, with people talkin’ ’bout how many buys it’s gonna get. The numbers can be pretty big, I reckon. But let’s break it down a bit and see what we know so far.
First off, UFC 302’s goin’ down June 1, 2024, over in Newark, at the Prudential Center. That’s where all the action’s gonna be. And folks, let me tell ya, this card is somethin’ folks been waitin’ for. It’s expected to be a big one, with all sorts of matches that’ll get ya’ heart pumpin’. I mean, we’re talkin’ big names and big fights, so naturally, the PPV buys are expected to be high. Now, I don’t know the exact number yet, but word is that it might bring in more than $50 million just from them PPV sales alone. That’s a whole lotta folks tunin’ in, if ya ask me.
And, of course, this ain’t just about folks watchin’ from their couch. The whole thing’s gonna bring in some big bucks from ticket sales too. They say the gateway income from them tickets might top $8 million. That’s a nice little chunk of change, I tell ya. Folks from all over will be packin’ the place, and even more will be sittin’ at home watchin’ on ESPN+ or through PPV. You can get it on ESPN+ in the U.S. for about $79.99, if you’re a subscriber. If not, well, you gotta pay a little more to get in on all that action.
Now, I heard that UFC 302 is lookin’ to make a whole lotta money, and it’s all ’cause of the stars fightin’. People are talkin’ big about Islam Makhachev. The fella’s expected to make the biggest payout from UFC 302, gettin’ around $1.8 million. That’s mighty fine for a night’s work, ain’t it? And there’s a few other fighters that’s gonna hit the $1 million mark too. Pretty good, if you ask me. But remember, that’s just the fight payouts; they ain’t even includin’ them PPV points that headliners and co-headliners can rake in.
So, what about them PPV buys? Well, if we go off some of them estimations, it looks like UFC 302 could get somewhere around 500k PPV buys, which ain’t too shabby. For a card like this, it might even break past that number. If it does, we’re talkin’ about a heap o’ money bein’ made. I reckon folks like Conor McGregor might not be too impressed with the numbers so far, but I think it’s still a solid showing. After all, these events ain’t just about the fighters; it’s about the fans too. And the fans? Well, they seem mighty eager to see what UFC 302 has to offer.
One thing’s for sure, folks, this UFC 302 card ain’t one to miss if you got the chance to watch. Whether you’re sittin’ at home or in them seats at the Prudential Center, it’s gonna be a wild ride. So, if you haven’t already, you best get to buyin’ them tickets or PPV access before it’s too late. Who knows, it might just be the biggest event of the year.
