Looks like the official numbers are in, 4.3 million buys, 2nd most all time behind Manny/Floyd which was 4.6 million.

Has anyone else had a loss, yet became an instant legend the same night?Within the context of a loss McGregor seems to have done better than anyone could have askedNot even close. There's no legend here. McGregor just lost to a 40 year old man whose last real KO came when George Bush was still President. Not to mention he just about got blanked on two of the scorecards. Never mind the guy who beat him is overrated as hell. Just look at the list of guys May has ducked the last few years:Pacquiao (until Manny was knocked flat by Marquez and his hand speed slowed dramatically)Danny GarciaKeith ThurmanErrol Spense Jr.Kell BrookShawn Porter That's the best of the division and Mayweather ducked them all. That's his legacy - ducking the best guys when they were at their best. And McGregor's glass chin broke when hit by Mayweather.If McGregor got blanked on two of the score cards, then boxing has absolutely ZERO credibility left!! There is NO way that McGregor did not handily, and I do mean HANDILY, win the first three rounds and that fight should have been 4 rounds a piece after 8. Mayweather hardly threw any punches in the first three rounds and they were NOT even close.Boxing is getting absurd!! I literally stayed up quite late watching the Pacquiao/Horn fight in Australia in July and saw Pac dominate and the charts PROVED that he dominated the fight and then watched the JUDGES give Horn (who was fighting in his home country) the fight, a unanimous decision no less.http://www.couriermail.com.au/sport/boxing-mma/pacquiao-vs-horn-jeff-horn-win-wbo-title-and-the-rest-of-the-world-wasnt-happy/news-story/d7263b262f5d6e825f430063bf8f0dfaMaybe I should just STOP WATCHING boxing, because IF two judges gave zero rounds to McGregor, boxing is truly FIXED and beyond saving.Smitty77

If you thought that was bad, what did you think of GGG/Canelo?Boxing is probably my second favorite sport behind basketball. I watch almost all fights, go to some bigger ones, and keep up with everything I miss. But it’s got to be the most corrupt sport.

But it’s got to be the most corrupt sport.That was a travesty, SMH. just awful.The shame of it is that it was a terrific fight, and the fighters and the fans deserved an honest result.A buddy of mine and I hosted a party to watch it. While I do think we got our money's worth from the main bout (the undercard was horrible ), I felt a little ashamed that I pumped actual cash into this corrupt sport.
