Dana White Blasts Reports Misfits Prime Card Did 1.3 Million Pay-Per-View Buys
UFC CEO Dana White doesn’t think the Prime card sold 1.3 million pay-per-view buys as reported.
The Prime card saw KSI take on Tommy Fury in the main event and the co-main event was Logan Paul vs. Dillon Danis. It was a massive event because of how popular the fighters are on social media, but White doesn’t buy the report that the event did 1.3 million pay-per-view buys at all.
“I haven’t heard about anybody selling a lot of pay-per-views lately,” White told The Full Send podcast. “Let me tell you how hard it is to sell 1.3 million pay-per-view buys, and if you did sell 1.3 million — if you sold 700,000 pay-per-view buys — they’d put putting on fights f——g 10 times a year. When you hear those kinds of numbers fly around the pay-per-view world, they’re lying motherf—–rs. Don’t ever believe that sh!t.”
“You know how much money that is if they cut a deal and did 1.3 million pay-per-view buys?. Anybody who’s been on any of these f——g horrible boxing shows, and I like Logan [Paul] and some of these guys that are involved in this sh!t, if you come out and you say you did 1.3 million pay-per-view buys on your event, you’re lying through your f—–g teeth. Lying through your teeth,” White continued.
“The amount of money you’d f—–g make, they’d be doing pay-per-views all the f—–g time. Let me tell you what, every pay-per-view distributor out there would want them, and Showtime wouldn’t have went out of business,” White concluded.
After Dana White’s comments, Misfits’ Mams Taylor took to social media to claim the report is true.
As of right now, the official pay-per-view buys have yet to be revealed but Dana White doesn’t believe it for a second.
