McGregor: "I run boxing."

[A.K]

Of coarse Connor would take this joke fight even if he loses every round, he would make 10 times as much money as he usually would and he probably wouldn't get hurt with floyds pillow shots.

[-Kev-]

He won't because it will open the floodgates so to speak and there are a lot of UFC fighters that feel vastly underpaid so imagine Conor making xxxxx millions of dollars and that's just not how the UFC pay structure works. UFC doesn't want the current system to change and be like boxing where the star fighter gets the lionshare of the money.

Yeah when a former champ, and big name is making $50k, with a little $50k winning bonus on a big UFC PPV co-main, you know these fighters would be itching to get that $500k-1mill payday from boxing

Jon Jones laughable $500k purses from 2015-2016 would turn into at least 10x that if he decides to cash his name out at HW vs Wlad in Germany. Probably even gets a $5mill guarantee for one of these HW's like Fury, Wlad, or Joshua. Jones-Joshua UK PPV would be massive at Wembley. Jones would get brutally KO'ed but make more in that one fight than he has made in his entire UFC career which is supposedly $4.18 million

Jon Jones should be getting at least 5 million a fight

I'm sure Jones is getting closer to $5M than $500k. Just cuz the UFC tells less about their pay than boxing does doesn't mean guys are getting the NSAC disclosed numbers or if you wanna believe the NSAC numbers you gotta believe that Manny got $7M for his last fight instead of the $20M guarantee widely reported he got.
