The revelation was made by the leader in an informal conversation recorded by Urijah faber. The former fighter works as a commentator for the Dana White Tuesday Night Contender Series event, a show that presents the most impressive winners with an Ultimate contract.

Through his official Instagram, Faber recorded the conversation in which White reveals the number of packages sold for the superfight and draws sighs from everyone involved in the conversation, including rapper Snoop Dogg, who is also one of the event's commentators, along with “California Kid.”

Just before last Saturday's superfight (26), estimates were that the duel would actually break the Mayweather x Pacquiao record, but for much less: there was talk of 4,9 million pay-per-views sold to the show. However, if the number is confirmed, it will shatter combat sport event records.
