McGregor vs. Mayweather - the world pauses Pornhub for a minute

[Mormolyce]

CONOR McGregor’s defeat to Floyd Mayweather garnered worldwide attention — and even put Pornhub in the shadows.
Data has revealed that there was a 12 per cent drop worldwide in the number of people logging in to the pornography website during the boxing fight.
And in the US, there was a huge 21 per cent decline in viewership, according to figures released by the website to Men’s Health.
In McGregor‘s homeland of Ireland, there was an 11 per cent drop, as people swapped sex for fighting in the early hours of Sunday morning.
Either side of the Las Vegas blockbuster, that Mayweather won by a 10th-round stoppage, figures were around their usual peak levels.
Millennials were most interested in the fight, as there was a 26 per cent drop in the numbers of 18-24 and 25-34 year olds choosing to watch some porn that night.
The data concludes that once the fight finished, 35-44 and 45-54 year olds were back on the adult-only site.

So I guess those Youtube stock comments about "never turned off Pornhub so fast" weren't kidding.

Can a homey get a Y axis?

This is pretty funny though. I especially like that it bumps over baseline - lotta people like, "welp, back to fapping".

[Forgettable]

Not sure who those people are, but OK.

The people watching porn or Mcgregor/Mayweather?

As a person who still is baffled at how many retards watched that match, to an extend of people never watching boxing but just following it because it's the cool thing to do...I still don't get how you do not know these guys. I haven't watched a single boxing match in my life, not even seen a youtube video and avoid news and even I know who they are.

No offence but I straight up didn't know who either were until like a week ago. I think I heard the name McGregor a few times, I figured he was some kind of sports person.

Unfortunately they didn't post one. Bad chart etiquette.

Seemingly they doubled down on their efforts too. I guess the match was pretty exciting?

I never said boxing was a bad thing so don't get your panties twisted. Read my post again...I know it's early or late depending on where you live, but try.

Floyd MacGregor and who?

I'll tell you the same thing, read my post again.

If you don't find it silly that people who don't give a shit about boxing watch a boxing match to be with the cool kids than alright...more power to you.

I see the edgy being thrown around every time people don't just follow the masses like a mindless sheep. So at this point it's a compliment.

Don't insult people then get mad when they do it back.

even floyd? he has been boxing for 20 years? i mean i believe it. but i dont know how a person could be baffled that people are interested in watching a boxing match if they have ZERO interest in the sport.

i dont watch football but i wouldnt be baffled that others do, nor would i consider them retarded

Haha, sure. That's what was happening.

i dont get how a person with ZERO interest in a sport to begin with can be baffled that others are and consider them retarded..

If you don't like a sport, but still watch that sport...than yes, I consider a person an idiot.

you don't have to like it, you could be neutral but if you don't understand the draw of the two people fighting in this once in a lifetime unique match then why comment? and call them retards? just sounds like ignorance, "hey i don't understand this it must be retarded!"

[Fat Mac]

well ya, but you said you were baffled and everyone who watched that fight was retarded.. that would include fans of mma and boxing.

i dont watch football, it doesnt mean i dont like it, im just not interested. but i am interested when the superbowl happens..

[Bapestar]

Haha, sure. That's what was happening.

When you refer to others as retarded for watching something, yes you are insulting them. And I do agree bandwagon fans are the worst, and should be called out. But plenty of real boxing fans watched this fight.
