    Just like floyd had the 32 mil every fight for showtime, but would wind up making 50-75 mill after PPv upside..

    Mccgregor gonna make 5-10 million when it's all said and done...


    Mma stars aren't on that tyson, Oscar, floyd, manny pay level.. But they are in the cotto, Canelo pay level...


    and Conor can do something canelo, cotto, ggg, roman, Ward, Kovolev and any other boxer not named manny n floyd--- Conor can draw a million+ PPv buys..

    Boxong is dead... Cotto-canelo doesn't break 1 million buys, Conor breaking 1 million with a late replacement opponent
    Floyd made a lot of money because he was co-promoter or lead promoter. Khan is gonna make more money than McGregor and won't do as much PPV. McGregor isn't a promoter. The bulk of his money should be guaranteed and the PPV should be a bonus. Why should Connor have to rely on PPV for the bulk of his money when his job is fighting not promoting?

      Promoters are taking the risks, financially...

      Conor makes more than khan..


      Conor in less than 2 years has become the biggest combat sports draw in North America

      First time in the history of mma that it has a star bigger than boxing's biggest star..


      But I do think ufc main event fighters are tremendously underpaid..

        Conor is not making more than Khan. Khan is guaranteed $8 mil. Conor is guaranteed $1 mil. I'm talking what they are guaranteed to make. The check they receive as soon as the fight is over. MMA isn't covered by the Ali Act so Connor doesn't even know how much the UFC is making on his fights.

            ^ This 1,000%

            UFC is not covered by Ali Act. And as a privately-owned corporation, the only real transparency required of Zuffa is filing a proper tax return.

            I remember Rafeal said that Showtime's deal with Floyd was such that as long as Floyd averaged 1.05 million buys million per fight over the 6 fights, Showtime would break even on the Floyd deal. And under that deal, Mayweather was guaranteed $32 million per fight.

            So if McGregor's fights are selling 1 million PPV and he's only getting $1 million guaranteed that's pretty terrible.

              UFC is notorious for overstating how much the lower tier fighters make (almost nothing, probably not enough to train full time) and understating how much the top tier fighters make (they are all multi-millionaires)

              conor will walk away with a lot more than 1 mill

                      That is disgraceful stuff right there.


                      So at the end of the night despite winning he only manages to make 92k?

                      What a disgrace ..
