Comments Thread For: Mayweather-McGregor: Contract Clause Prevents Talk of Purses

[Ray*]

I read somewhere that the UFC takes 60% of his purse or whatever it is? Thats crazy if true

I heard something like that too, at the end of the day he would be making crazy money in a sport that truly isn't his bread and butter. No pressure what's so ever on him, after taxes and Dana binding contract cut am sure he would still make more in this fight than he has ever made in his whole UFC career.

Yeah probably. Boxing is all about money. Wouldnt be surprised if he has more boxing fights after this one for some nice paydays. His fanbase will support him

You totally right, if he does well his fanbase would definitely support him in another boxing matchup.

Not sure why they would hide this. 60-40 or 55-45 seemed to be the consensus on what the split would be. If the split way off from that and they want to keep it hidden to not embarrass the UFC Brand? Is it an 80-20 split? MMA has long been fibbing about their PPV numbers, they would have had to show real revenue numbers to Haymon to make a deal. Maybe their PPVs are doing like 50-100K instead of the unofficial numbers they claim. Maybe White saw their first offer of a 90-10 split and said "Hell yes!, I'll take it!!!" 10% of something is a helluva lot better than 100% of nothing.

It's a world gone mad.An absolute circus event that will do little for the sport apart from introduce even more hater's of our sport that is doing so well.It shouldn't be sanctioned as a boxing match.
If Floyd wants the magic 50-0 he should fight a top boxer!

Yo Larry you paying for this or you streaming free ?

He already said hes actually buying it . How could you ever doubt him?

Yeah. Who knows? Might be the beginning of a yearly crossover fight. Something like a PPV that has like 3 fights with boxers against ufc fighters. Casuals might buy it

[Motorcity Cobra]

they only have to disclose the guaranteed amount in the contract.

Yea that's what I'm talking about. Obviously they have a gag order only on the purse because Dana is already talking about how much Conor can potentially make with PPV upside and other things

Well he's pretty much his biggest fan I don't disagree with him watching it but paying ? C'mon man !
