Finances

This category only scores pay-per-view buys from The Ultimate Fighting Championship event held in Denver, CO (1993) to UFC 235. The UFC's 2019 contract with ESPN+ mandates a subscription to the over-the-top service which is the exclusive distributor of UFC pay-per-views in the United States in order to purchase the event. UFC and ESPN do not report on pay-per-view buys starting with UFC 236.
