How much cement to use for flag pole footing

I'm installing a 20' flag pole. I'm using a 2.375 OD pipe that is pretty heavy. I bought a foundation sleeve that is 3' x 8", which hasn't come yet. Probably will have 18' exposed and 3' underground (my pipe is 21' total).

I'm wondering approximately how much cement I should be using, or what the ultimate size of the footing should be. I watched numerous youtube videos and everyone is different. One even used 10 80lb bags for a 25' pole - seems like a lot to me but I know I will need a decent amount.

Just wondering what the group thinks while I wait for all my parts to arrive.
