Dana White has publicly announced that Ronda Rousey’s next fight will be the end of the Meisha Tate trilogy but that hasn’t stopped him from discussing a possible Cyborg fight. Dana told Ariel Helwani on FOX Sports 1 that a fight featuring those two women could do Floyd Mayweather-like numbers.
“I think that fight does 2.5 million buys,” said White. “I think that fight is massive.”
I think Rousey has the potential to break the 2 million PPV mark because causal fans would tune in to see her dominate while hardcore fans would buy to see if she will lose. It sounds extremely similar to the Mayweather effect.
