Conor McGregor releases massive UFC 257 PPV buys number on social media

Even though former two-division UFC champion Conor McGregor is currently on a two-fight losing streak, he is undoubtedly laughing his way to the bank.

McGregor, 33, is coming off a back-to-back defeat at the hands of Dustin Poirier at UFC 257 and UFC 264, which took place last January and July, respectively.

Earlier today, McGregor tweeted that UFC 257 reportedly did a tremendous buy rate of 1,504,737—which means that he is bound to receive a boatload of money from his pay-per-view commission.
