Dana White takes more from his fighters than all boxing promoters combined. BIGGEST snake always calls other people snakes. What a shame to be Connor Mcgregor, how is it that Amanda Nunes only got 100k guarantee and Danny Garcia gets 2-3 mil to fight on primetime tv, something is NOT right.

I thought Dana white sold his shares in the UFC? I have nothing against promoters but most of them are greedy. I know everyone wants to make money but sometimes you got to be decent over it. If the 80-20% split is true then Conor shouldn't take the fight. Business is Business but at the end of the day you got to have some principle too.

20% is a bigger cut than the UFC is giving him right now. He's an idiot if he passes up probably 40+ million when he'll probably be beat up and choked out again in the UFC in short order for a heck of a lot less.

Who DOESN'T know by now that Dana White is a crook?

Look at what some of his top stars make at these UFC PPVs. It's insulting.

You do realize that they are referring to 20% of the remaining money AFTER Mayweather gets his cut. So if the fight makes enough money for $125 million in purses, Floyd gets his $100 million and McGregor gets 20% of the remaining $25 million. That's the way I read it at least.

No they're talking about out of Conor's cut even Jeff said it. I would be extremely shocked if the overall split was 80/20.

Let the UFC have a cut off Conor but give most to Conor.

The UFC can have a cut of Conor's millions but give the majority to McGregor anyway. Pay both men $100 million and give the UFC 10 million. Greed is good and money buys everything even love.

Connor, Dana and the entire UFC , would be dumb as hell to accept an offer like that. If that's the case, there's no need for a contract, they can just shake hands on it.
