But is all the overseas revenue not put into the pot and Floyd gets his 60 or 70% or was McGregor and his team smart and demand ppv revenue from territories where McGregor and ufc are huge like Australia Brazil and Britain and ireland and then give Floyd a bigger share of the u.s. market?
It looks to me like McGregor's management were just happy to be there and took whatever Floyd and al offered
It is the same with Cleverly and people overreacting to his Purse of 100K that was listed but Cleverly got himself a deal with Sky Sports back in the UK
Yes Mayweather gets a bigger cut DOMESTICALLY but I'm sure McGregor got himself some extra side deals overseas just like Cleverly!
In Boxing it is really no limited to your earning potential if you have a great management team around you and know every Avenues to generate money for a fight. 30-40% of 700 Million is a lot of damn Money on top of his Guaranteed Purse and not even including Endorsements and again Overseas Money!
McGregor and his entire team walks away from this VERY RICH!
NAW! Fans only talk about the US Market which is only 1 Market but it is Millions and Millions of $ that come from Overseas that the Average fan don't take into consideration! McGregor will cash in HUGE with Overseas Money!

Jesus Christ. If McGregor is getting less than 40 % its scandalous and he should sack his management team.
Yeah Floyd is the A side but who else would Floyd make 200 million+ with? McGregor is under selling himself if he got less than 40%.
Also it seemed during the build up that the ufc and Audie attar were falling over themselves to praise team mayweather over the negotiations. Meanwhile al and Floyd are pick pocketing Dana and conor

Can we ban folks that make these threads making up shyt posting fake news? No link and the fight just happened yesterday. Impossible to have any numbers this early they counting everything up from so many different vendors that sold the fight. Plus you have the drama over ppvs that were sold but not delivered. Nobody could watch the ppvs sold by UFC.tv their servers crashed at 9pm and other providers had problems too. So first you going to have count it all up and there is likely going to be a mass number of refunds if not lawsuits for the ones sold that weren't delivered. This shyt going to weeks and weeks till we have any real numbers.
Yea i remember Stephen A Smith saying on tv that one of the reasons Floyd took this fight because McGregor knows how to promote
My God Steven a. Smith is insufferable. Stop shouting, you are mic'd up. We can hear you
Privately Floyd was praising McGregor for the way he promoted the fight, Floyd felt like this was the first time he had an equal partner in promoting a fight since De la Hoya. Conor gets it, he knows his persona is what takes him from being just another MMA fighter begging for scraps from Dana White, to a global force. McGregor and only McGregor could have pulled this off with Mayweather, it was the perfect money fight at the perfect time.
Conor has set up himself, his children, and his children's children financially for life. And he did that by being brash and a smart showman as he's not even a top 5 all time MMA guy. 6+ million people paid to see him, no other MMA guy could have touched a couple million.
True but I hope conor didn't just accept the really low end of the deal. They were equal dance partners and I know Floyd's ego would have demanded he get the lions share, I hope McGregor wasn't left with the mouse's share. He should at least have gotten a 40% split. He still has to split his share with ufc
You don't think say Jon roids Jones vs a higher profile guy could've gotten 1.5-2 mil?
Vs what Heavyeight? The closest would have been Anderson Silva a few years ago against Roy Jones Jr.

Way too early but I'm sure they did VERY WELL not just in the US but WORLD WIDE! I thought just under Mayweather vs Pacquiao numbers but based on all the Fight Parties I think they did Surpass Mayweather vs Pacquiao and by a comfortable margin to!
You will get different reports though over the next few days and weeks I'm sure! Some will report "IT Flopped It only Did 3 Million" :lol1:
60/40? I doubt that high....70/30 or less I would guess.
