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

He will lose to Floyd and you will never see him again in the UFC. He will be a guy who made money with his mouth. I can think of a bunch of guys I would like to see him fight in the UFC to see how good he really is.

even at $125 per PPV, you only generate $375m in total revenue, enough to pay the fighters, pay the cable distributors, pay Showtime, and leave nothing for the promoters and no upside for the fighters.

Plus live gate, and sponsorship, and international rights. Those three things alone could add up to another $100 million.

in order for the fight to happen, McGregor has to split his purse with White..... so McGregor would need to be paid accordingly in order to make the fight possible

Mayweather gets nothing if he low-balls McGregor, and McGregor actually brings a lot to the table

Floyd is real smart, he will allow White/McGregor to profit simply to make the fight happen..... so he can pocket an easy 100mil+ himself

there will be LOTS of money to go around

Floyd was happy to offer Pacquiao 50/50 back in 2010, and Manny did not deserve 50%

So either way, McGregor is getting screwed any way.

[Nomadic]

So you think Floyd walks away from 100mil plus. Just so Conner can't have 75mil. That would be moronic

Ok kids, lets remember to use your words and refuse from name calling.

Remember UFC have to get their cut from McGregor

Yeah, that's the kicker. Or the fights off.

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

It's fairly easy to gauge public demand and just run the numbers.

[Deanhj89]

Why would you think that? It's a win win for McGregor honestly. Everyone already assumes he's gonna lose based on a boxing match. So just showing up with balls he gets credit. Win or lose he'll be just as popular and go right back to the UFC to defend. Also even if he loses he gets a lot of credibility just by the fact that he stepped in the ring with Floyd for his first boxing match. it's going to increase his profits from any fight going forward just from the recognition he'll get by sharing a ring with a legend
