I still think people (including Conor) claiming it could surpass the 750k+ number pulled in by Jones/Cormier are wack. But I could see it topping 500k with the right promotion and a solid supporting card.
Really, anything over 400k to me would be a resounding success for the sub 170 weight classes. Nobody except BJ Penn at 155 and below has been able to draw above that number. They usually hover around 200k, including Aldo, Cruz, Faber, etc.

But, after a couple more fights, sure, why not. The man has got the "it" factor. People want to see him.

I will say this Jose Aldo vs Conor McGregor will be the highest selling Featherweight headlined PPV in UFC history. I believe the current record is UFC 159 Aldo vs Edgar with 330,000 buys, anything over that number will be considered a smash out of the park.

Conor seems to be crossing over and connecting with the same type of people that were curious about Rousey and her personality and ability.
