The two-class champion helped draw 1.3 million buys for UFC 205—and a $17.7 million gate—in WWE’s home base of Madison Square Garden, where he became the first fighter in the promotion's history to hold both the Lightweight Championship and the Featherweight Championship.
From a business and spectacle standpoint, McGregor's encore was somehow even better, as his super fight opposite Floyd Mayweather is tracking in the mid-to-high four million pay-per-view buys.
Business and spectacle is the name of the game for WWE and WrestleMania, and if they are able to land one of combat sports' biggest personalities, there are several ways he can make WrestleMania 34 a must-watch pay-per-view.
Conor McGregor Competes in the Andre the Giant Memorial Battle Royal. Though Mojo Rawley's unexpected win this year's battle royal has amounted to very little thus far, it was highlighted by an appearance from Rob Gronkowski. The year before, Shaq made his presence felt in what seemed to be a WrestleMania tease with The Big Show.
In recent years, the Andre the Giant Memorial Battle Royal has become a landing ground for high-profile athletes, making it a prime spot for Conor McGregor to make an appearance. This could also represent dangerous waters for the UFC star, who was not shy about calling out the entire WWE locker room.
