Comments Thread For: UFC's White Claims Mayweather-McGregor Broke PPV Record

Are you ******ed at math? 70-30 split is just the guaranteed not including the PPV, gate, and sponsorship. He will clear well over 150 mil.

What makes you think McWelfare is getting any of the PPV?

McGregors purse was probably around 14-15M.

Its 30. There was a source on Twitter the day of the fight. I didn't know who it was tbh, but cats here say its legit.

ain't no way he getting 120 in ppv and gate.

i said gate ppv and sponsorship. The man had his damn name on the ring. Something that UFC would never allow. Not to mention his brand of wiskey and his suits. The guy has really put the UFC in a big ass situation.

maybe you should pay more attention to the past.

x3 most likely. I believe he only made a total of around $10,000,000 his entire career at UFC.

The champions and biggest stars in the UFC get a share of the PPV-money as well as the disclosed payout, so you are way off. McGregor made around $15 million in his 2nd fight with Diaz alone, when you include everything.

Maybe you should provide some fücking sources and tie it together with sense.

What happened to all those people streaming the fight and saying it would flop? They've mysteriously disappeared.

I just read in DailyMail.com that Conor made 137 million after PPV, concessions, Andre sponsorships. 358 million for Floyd. Must be. nice to be rich

I say the UFC did a bad job at the negotiation table. This fight is trending towards a billion in revenue. He should have got at least 75million guarantee imo

Back-end money is still going to come in, so the guarantee doesn't really matter all that much. If the split really does end up being 70/30 (between Floyd and the UFC, with the UFC then splitting their take with McGregor Sports & Entertainment), you're still talking about Conor McGregor cashing $30m on Monday morning and another $50m-$60m coming to him over the next year (and that's before you count the international TV, the personal sponsors, his endorsements on the event, etc).

The fight was being discussed on CNBC; the hype went world's beyond sports, and the numbers will likely reflect that.

You add that the total streams count didn't even get to 300 streams (with the number of actual folks streaming likely jumbled by the fact that folks were likely hopping between multiple streams to find a decent one) and it's pretty clear that the hardcore streaming audience is nowhere near as big as folks here want to think.

Was on my way out to my usual bar, and got a text from a friend (who has near no interest in boxing) that he was hosting a PPV party.

The hype was real
