Marco Rubio said a billion people watched it. Even Joe Rogan's number of 150 million was high by a factor of 10 or more. In reality, https://www.espn.com/mma/story/_/id/49111943/ufc-freedom-250-white-house-averages-70m-viewers-us

According to Paramount, the seven-bout card averaged 8.2 million viewers (7 million in the U.S., 1.2 million in Latin America) and totaled 17 million (15.26 million in the U.S., 1.67 million in Latin America). Paramount stated the numbers were provided by Nielsen, the industry standard in reporting TV viewership metrics, and Adobe Analytics. The figures represent only live viewership and do not account for delayed views.

The 17 million is inflated because it counts anybody who tuned in for at least 1 minute. 7 million should probably be considered the most accurate figure.
