Comments Thread For: UFC's White: McGregor Would Make $75 Million vs. Mayweather

[Johnny2x2x]

McGregor will never fight in the UFC again. He's going to pocket $50 Million, he'd never make half that fighting 3 careers in the UFC. With $50 Million in hand why would he risk his health for the pittance the UFC will want to pay him.

lol no way does gayweather jr agree to let conor make that much. bum ass conor who isn't even a pro boxer is making more than some of the biggest ppv fighters have ever made. this farce should not happen.

Why not? Lil g does it all the time (not make mills but is always the A side till he fights canelo) except that last time when he fought Jacobs and lost....funny what happens when you step up in competition.

So it has taken what, a year or more, just for Connor to get the go ahead from UFC??? I don't see this thing ever happening, White has a power complex, and he isn't going to let this happen. Remember when White pulled Connor from a UFC card because Connor wanted to stay in training camp training, instead of a promotional tour? Remember a couple months later, White let Rousey skip all promotional events? Yea, White doesn't like McGregor, because Connor thinks for himself. It took him over a year to come to an agreement with his fighter! Mayweather isn't going to let White dictate the terms, I guarantee that. If Connor and Dana want real money they will accept what Floyd is willing to give them. And I don't see Dana doing that.

I could see that...as long as it does between the Oscar and pacquiao fights.

Yep if mcgregor guarantee is 75 million, he's not taking that home.

I don't know if they will get a guarantee like that

I think White is just putting that out there

most likely a percentage..... 40% or something

but yep..... if they made 70mil, McGregor would get 35mil

[aboutfkntime]

UFC will most likely just get the standard promoter's cut, which is 27% of McGregor's share.

for allowing him to fight ' out of contract ' ?

not sure about that, I doubt it

Screw mcgregor and Dana white

The UFC and mcgregor and UFC don't deserve the purse that they are aiming for!

If UFC has worked out with Connor how they will split up his take that's all well and good. But none of this matters until they talk to Floyd and he tells them how much he wants and whatever is left over after that UFC split it up however they like. This is one hurdle Connor getting permission from UFC to allow him to enter a boxing ring. But let's hear what Floyd has to say about those figures White is throwing out. Floyd is the one dictating terms.

White Is nothing more than a loud mouth egotistical punk. If this fight actually does take place(which I hope It doesn't) I will be pulling for Floyd for the first time In his career. The truth Is, If Floyd can't beat a guy like McGregor, who Isn't even a boxer, his career Is over(which It most likely would be anyway). Furthermore, like It or not, It will most likely affect his legacy just because of who he fought and lost to.

I'll be purchasing this ppv. Just sayin
