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

[Scipio2009]

You really think Floyd is going to let Conor walk into the ring at 170 versus his 150? Ok, but I'm not sure what about Floyd's history of fight negotiations leads you to believe that. He wouldn't allow a B-rate Maidana to wear authorized gloves, actually threatened to cancel the fight that night if he didn't change them. Trust me, Conor will need to drain down to some CW of about 154/5.

You said that I'm foolish for claiming Floyd hasn't one-punch KO'd anyone since LW. I said his last two KO's were a cheap shot on Ortiz and a TKO over little Ricky Hatton. Show me where I'm wrong. Who else has Floyd one-punch KO'd at 147 besides Josie Harris?

Floyd's never put a re-hydration limit on any of his professional fights, and that includes his fight against Saul Alvarez; I don't see that changing this late in the game.

Floyd will set the fight weight at 147 and the weigh-in for 2pm/3pm on Friday, and it'll be on McGregor and his camp to get him down to the set weight; if McGregor and his camp want to mess around and add 25lbs to his frame in 24 hours, that'd be his own mistake.

Maidana ****ed up; he brought custom gloves to match his kit, that the Nevada commission threw out after agreeing with Floyd's concerns about the padding in the glove. Once the gloves became another negotiating point after Maidana's camp's **** up, Floyd dictated terms, as he's apt to do as the A-side fighter.

Ricky Hatton ended up getting stopped after the accumulation of punishment over 10 rounds, and Victor Ortiz got caught slipping in the 4th round.

It's obvious that you have no idea what you're even talking about, so troll away

You are desperately at a loss so your only recourse is to accuse me of trolling. The end.

Whether that number gets up to $100m (I doubt it does, as I see them finding it difficult selling $1000 nosebleed tickets to get into T-Mobile Arena for a non-competitive fight, among other issue), you're still talking about the fighter guarantees being covered, the promoters (Mayweather Promotions/UFC) pocketing a small piece on the fight, and maybe leaving a small extra upside for the fighters.

The live gate plus: Merchandise, Sponsors, and International Rights, Sky Sports, Russian providers, Mexico, And the Asia market will all want a piece of that action. Which could easily top over a few million dollars per sponsor. On top of international rights. And all of the food and drinks served in the arena that shyt will do crazy numbers.

An $85 million dollar gate plus Sponsorship, and PPV and showing rights adding another $20-25 million to the pot. And this is before any merch OR PPV is added to the equation. If they sale 2.2 - 3 million PPV at say $100 a pop that is $220 - 300 million in PPV revenue. Floyd makes about $150 when it's all said and done. Conor makes around $80 million that is $230 million. With about $130 or more million left for the MGM- and UFC, ShowTime to eat real good.

... there's no way that Mayweather-McGregor is going to sell $10,000 ringside tickets and $2000 nosebleed tickets in a nearly 22k-seat venue.

Beyond that, Floyd is only even stepping into the ring if he sees $100m on the fight, so take Floyd's money off the top.

Floyd gets $100m, McGregor gets $75m (with the UFC taking their share out of his take), and Mayweather Promotions/UFC split $17m (as the promoter's taste on the fight.

Bruh I'd just like to say I'll fight Floyd for a couple grand.

I'm done talking the first bold part. If you think they can't sell tickets as much as $10,000.00. When this fight gets announced. I will just say I told you.

LOL at Conor saying "nah Dana I need $100M".

This sh^t is all fun to talk about & speculate on, but idk how they will end up agreeing to anything legit cuz you got 3 greedy f#cks trying to decide how to split a giant pile of money & no one can kill the other two.
