I believe it. When I logged in to the UFC Fight Club presale and saw that the same ticket I bought last year for $650 was now $1750 I thought holy cow. And they almost all sold out immediately then the dynamic pricing shot it up to over $2000.

$800 aud got me within row 10 multiple times in Australia. Last time they came $800 only got me a very average seat. My old seats would have cost >$3k each. I don’t pay for UFC anymore. Im disenfranchised after that.

The presale garbage is a ripoff. I always sit in one of the first 4 elevated rows, as opposed to the seats on the floor. In my opinion, those are the best view. I never get presale tickets, although I look at them. I always save around 300 bucks and end up 4 or 5 rows closer buying directly from the stadium. Vegas, Austin, Miami, and NYC although I resold my NYC tickets because someone gave me 3 times what I paid the day before.
This is one of the few times we can take Chael’s words at face value because he absolutely would know the records he did have, especially as regards the business side of things. I 100% believe that Connor came in and just took em all.

It already isnt the biggest gate. Dana said the gate for connors next fight has ALREADY toped 20m. The VIP experience tickets were sold out before the Email got to me . I looked within minutes of recieving. That day 10g front row seats were available though. Not the next day.

Conor has 2 fights left on his contract. This would be one of them. So I’m assuming Win or Lose he’s fighting Nate 3 after Chandler. Dana even said that fight will always be there and Nate said trilogy will happen I’m sure that will be his last fight of his contract. He broke the gate record on the Chandler fight $20 mil just imagine what he’s going to break on Nate 3 when they have more history and probably his last fight in ufc. The $$$ is going to be off the charts big.

Because tickets are like 13,000. Ain't none of us watching this shit in person. Edit: I'm wrong AF, but it's 2,500 to sit waaaaay up in the nosebleeds and like 6,000 to sit cageside. Uncle Chael added some zeros.

That's 10.7m dollars in today's money
I think the reason this gate is high is because 1. The tickets are crazy in price! 2. I believe like many others this might be Conor’s last time he steps foot in the octagon 3. It’s Conor! The biggest star the ufc will ever have
I got a question about inflation now are the prices of a ufc paper view ticket the same as they were 10 15 20 years ago or are they more and if so I'd like to here how much money was made after including the inflation price of a ticket from the past events.
Hi uncle Chael
Chael spitting facts. Inflation is really out of hand. 130% and it's not stopping
Helps when you are charging like +25% on each ticket from the normal prices. Nose bleeds over 1000 is crazy
2012 I was paying 550 for a 4bedroom house. Now I can't get a bedroom for 2x that.

Not really, cheal just said that gate numbers are public information since a percentage of it needs to be taxed by the state that commissions it
GSP vs Shields was 55,000 people.
But the tickets are much more expensive, too.
I would have been excited a year or two ago but now it's just like OK cool let's go
Well... inflation is a crazy thing. Not to say this isn't going to be a huge event... but what's the gate adjusted for inflation compared to all fights - ever?
I remember I bought a ufc ticket for $110. Thst was probably the last time. $1700 for a ticket now….
Chael “Uncle Chael” Sonnen
Uncle Chael - he set the bar - according to uncle chale himself 😂😂
$7.9 million in 2012 is $10,746,895.82 today
if conor vs chandler was for the 165lb belt it would be 300million and blow 229 away
Listening to chael talk is like a fever dream
Crazy considering the card so far offers next to nothing for the casual fan, as a hardcore fan its good but doesnt seem that good for a ppv much less a conor card Hoping they announce more fights soon
Jones vs Gane did 12.5 million dollars in ticket sales.
What about 300? What was the gate and ppv buys?

O’Malley was on UFC 299, card was stacked, let’s not pretend that was down to him
Spoken like a true politician.
I'm surprised with the gate. And I'll be more surprised if that's reflected in PPV buys. Strangely, it's the least interested I've been in a Conor fight. Maybe people want to see his last fight? Or youngsters never got to see him first time around?
Always makes me laugh how the MMA "experts" saying that McGregor's starpower is gone. He's still the biggest draw in combat sports by a comfortable margin.
Sorry but it doesn't mean shit when the average fan is priced out and the crowd is full of celebs who have no idea about the value of money so they blow 50k+ on a ticket. Artificial inflation then bragging about it is WILD
Its all about betting chael even if its not a champion fight ir a contender fight
Yet people were saying he shouldn’t main event a show or that he couldn’t main event 300 🙈🙈
Are also the highest tickets price ever
I think the ones he doesn’t have are Rousey and/or Lesnar
Selling out against these prices only supports future increase. Ruling out fans with a normal income.
Be great if the UFC would add a couple more good fights to the card to make it worth the money I spent on 3 tickets- but they won’t.
If you consider inflation he doesn't beat your 2012 record.😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Chael do you not understand how much money was printed in 2020 and 2021?
I suspect grossing records tend to be broken more and more mainly due to inflation. Money Moicano did a video about this in his channel a few days ago.

That's always been the case it's literally been the case ever since they started taking records. If you don't account for inflation then the record itself essentially means nothing. Other than chronicling the downfall of America as our money becomes more and more worthless

As a publicly traded company TKO have to reveal all of the numbers.
I mean it’s almost half of the company’s lifetime ago. There’s also inflation to think about.
I’ve found Dana’s replacement for whenever he’s ready to step down as president of the UFC. Chael has been an MMA promoter since he was a fighter. He sold himself on the mic when his fighting style alone wasn’t enough. He’s been selling MMA story lines & whatever product is sponsoring his KZread videos.
Revenue numbers are a poor comparative metric because of inflation. Ticket prices are ridiculously higher now than ever before, so of course the total gate is going to continue to increase.
not remotely surprising Might hit 2 M ppv as well
People like to talk shit about Conor but the FACT is Mcgregor is a DRAW regardless who he faces , he DRAWS MONEY , i personally love Conor he is one of my favorite fighters of all time & i was sad when he lost to dustin twice but hes gunna come back better than ever & hes gunna smoke Chandler , i believe in him weather anybody else wants to talk shit idc its my opinion & ive been a fan of conor before he even won the featherweight title 💯‼️
Get lasik good Sir ... can still wear your glasses.
Did it sold out already? or did they just made math about ticket prices?? UFC is increasing prices year after year.
Keep raising prices and you’ll get more money.

St. Peirre just spent millions of dollars to beat the record. He filled the empty seats with cardboard cutouts.
Tickets are so overpriced, it's not family friendly anymore.
The tickets are just going to keep getting more expensive so of course they will keep breaking records

Do you think the UFC would exist without capitalism? What about the benefit of all the cas h flowing through the tv/cable companies, the bars, the casinos, the arena: all from consumers choosing to view or go watch it or get on it? Yes inflation sucks but would we even get to see the UFC fights which would not exist, if not for the rewards which enticed the huge financial risk the investors took to create it?
The fight card is lack luster. Main event and maybe 2 more fights worth the ppv price
ufc has peaked, it was fun guys
uncle chael do hot ones!
Can we mention that we are in the middle of economic inflation before we start bragging about breaking records? I get it, you're making more money, but everything also costs way more now.
Askar Mozharov can break this number easy
I love Conor and I’m glad he has all these records but we aren’t taking into effect what has happened to value of the dollar & inflation from 10-12 yrs ago. My house has gone up $800,000 since then. A brand new loaded Escalade went from $50,000 to $95,000 since then. This fight would break a record no matter what with the Conor effect but of course they’re now charging top what they can for tickets -if they weren’t selling they would have dropped them until they got to a price they’d sell out quick. So would’ve broke a record anyway. But we can’t simply go on price of tickets because in 10 yrs someone will have a big sell out fight card but it will be because ticket prices went up. There is smoke and mirrors here with everyone else -Conor will just draw no matter what. It would be the same price if he was unbeaten and thats crazy to think about.
Why is Dana calling the Ufc better and bigger then any boxing Organisation, when boxing is paying 20x what the ufc is paying ?
