Its estimated that at least half of those were in HD. Which is 54.95 each, the other half were 44.95 each. This is the third highest number of PPV buys in UFC history.

The UFC made 17,875,000 on HD buys as well as another 14,625,000 on regular buys. That is 32.4 million in PPV buys. Considering the total purse they paid their fighters during the event was: 892,000, I can see why a lot of fighters are not happy and they feel like the UFC is taking advantage of them.

This also does not include the gate sales for the event which at 8,000 people with an average of 225 per ticket is approximately 1.8 million.
