Johnson Fires Back At White With Hard Facts, In New Statement

UFC Flyweight Champion Demetrious Johnson is tired of being told he isn’t a draw.

While live streaming on his video game channel on Twitch, Johnson was being told he wasn’t a draw and didn’t make the UFC much money.

Angry at the internet troll, Johnson decided to look up the actual numbers when it comes to his fights.

Johnson chose a couple of UFC pay-per-view events and Fight Nights, which he headlined, and shared the amount of pay-per-view buys and live attendance the events had.

Johnson’s last fight took place in April and was an event that aired on FOX. Johnson’s title defense against Wilson Reis earned $1.081 million with its attendance gate.

Johnson also brought up the first two pay-per-view events he headlined. UFC 174, in 2014, had a pay-per-view buy rate of 115,000. UFC 178, a couple months later, had a buy rate of 205,000.

Johnson also mentioned that the first event he ever headlined, which was a UFC on FOX event in 2013, earned a live gate of $1.27 million.
