Floyd Mayweather's stoppage victory over Conor McGregor set a new pay-per-view record of 6.5million buys, according to UFC president Dana White
The previous record was 4.6m, set when Mayweather outpointed Manny Pacquiao two years ago.
The broadcast last Saturday was plagued by problems due to high demand and the main event was delayed until they were resolved.
If White is correct, Mayweather could see his earnings top £300m while McGregor would take home more than £100m.
