“Bigger Than the Superbowl!” – Joe Rogan Can’t Believe It After Learning About an Event Bigger Than Any He Has Seen Before

The Joe Rogan Podcast doesn’t disappoint fans and always provides them with unheard anecdotes or fascinating aspects from various walks of life. The Podcast has over 1800 episodes and the color commentator has been running his podcast for over 13 years now.

Recently, Rogan was on the receiving end of some serious revelation in his latest podcast episode. The documentarian Will Harris, creator of the popular YouTube combat sports documentary series “Anatomy Of A Fighter” was the guest, and he shared the mic with Joe Rogan.

In JRE MMA Show #130 with Will Harris, Joe Rogan and Will speculated the return of Jon ‘Bones’ Jones, talked about the loss of Kamaru Usman, and the wealth of Middle Eastern countries among other topics.

What did Will Harris tell Joe Rogan that surprised the podcast host?

It was during this Middle Eastern countries’ wealth discussion that made Joe Rogan realise that one of the biggest sporting events on Earth is not the Super Bowl but a rivalry between two countries.

Will Harris said, “There is so much wealth over there [Middle East]. I once went there for Pakistan v. India. That’s bigger than the Super Bowl. More viewers than the Super Bowl in the world.”

Joe Rogan couldn’t hide his astonishment and asked, “Really? Soccer?” Will had to clarify and told, “No, cricket.”

The UFC commentator couldn’t hold back his ears and asked for confirmation, “Really??” Will again had to reiterate and said, “Bigger than the Super Bowl, more viewers than the Super Bowl.”

At this point of conversation, Rogan could only react in bewilderment. “Whhaattt?”

Will Harris accordingly reaffirmed, “Yeah, Pakistan v. India.” He then described his experience of the cricket match. He told Rogan, “I saw almost 80 Rolls-Royce cooling in the truck in the parking lot. I mean, what kind of wealth is over here? Those are $500k cars.”

Later in the podcast, Joe Rogan saw the viewership record of the Cricket World Cup and he was shocked to see the numbers. He was in such a state of shock that he was repeating the same stat in a loop: “225 million people watched it.” What he did in between- just grasped.
