To show how big the fight was, there were six million Google searches for it where a giant UFC fight may be more than 1 million. By comparison, WrestleMania did about 1 million. In addition, our coverage of the fight was the most viewed story of the month, and this isn't even a boxing site. I know of one MMA site that may have set their all-time record for single day views yesterday, and it sure as hell wasn't for the WSOF show. It appears at the end of the day, there was more interest in this fight among MMA fans than even the biggest UFC shows, which tells you how big of a star Mayweather really is.
Who knew that our sham of a sport was really just a niche novelty in the grand scheme of things?
