Viewers watching Mark Zuckerberg duel with Elon Musk - if this match is held - on pay-per-view live TV platforms could have to pay $100 (about more than 2.3 million VND) per view, according to UFC President Dana White.
UFC (Ultimate Fighting Championship) is the world's largest martial arts event organizer and promoter. On online platforms, each UFC match has an average pay-per-view fee of about $80. At $100, Dana White expects the fight between Mark Zuckerberg and Elon Musk to bring in record revenue.
Viewers who want to see Mark Zuckerberg fight Elon Musk may have to pay a fee of no less than 100 USD (more than 2.3 million VND).
The UFC match with the highest revenue in history was the match between Conor McGregor and Floyd Mayweather in 2017. The UFC earned 600 million USD (more than 14 trillion VND) from the fee to watch the live TV broadcast of this event, not including other revenue from advertising and sponsorship.
Dana White revealed that Mark Zuckerberg contacted him to ask if Elon Musk was serious. Previously, on June 20, Elon Musk posted a challenge to Mark Zuckerberg on social media. The CEO of Meta - the founder of Facebook accepted.
Dana White then contacted Elon Musk and received confirmation from the Tesla CEO that he was completely serious about this challenge.
“This will be the biggest fight ever in history, bigger than any event ever held and will break all records for live viewing fees,” CNBC quoted Dana White.
The UFC president estimates that the fight between the two billionaires could bring in three times more revenue than the most expensive fight in UFC history - the Mayweather-McGregor fight in 2017. Dana White also suggested a way to add value to the Mark Zuckerberg-Elon Musk event, through incorporating a charity fundraising purpose.
“I don't think they need the money. People like them can raise hundreds of millions of dollars for charity," Dana White said.
Yesterday (August 6), billionaire Elon Musk said that the boxing match between him and Mark Zuckerberg will be broadcast live on the social network platform X (formerly Twitter). The time of the match has not been announced.
Mark Zuckerberg said he proposed the contest on August 26, but Elon Musk has not confirmed it.
