Ha check this out , i am not a connor mcgregor fan at all. but i will give him his due, he can sell a fight. the ufc has been fucking him over big time with no lube in the pay department.
according to forbes the ufc has paid connor a total of 18 million for his past three fights. which isnt shit for the money he has made them. here are the ppv numbers for his last three fights, i believe all three of these ppvs whent for 65.00 a pop. now factor, in ppv keeps half the sales.
11 July 2015 McGregor vs Mendes UFC 189 825,000
12 December 2015 Aldo vs McGregor UFC 194 1,200,000
5 March 2016 McGregor vs Diaz UFC 196 1,500,000
so if i did my math right they made at least 114 million of his ppv sales alone after ppv got there cut.
also the gates for his 3 fights combined for a total of 25 million
bwa ha ha you gotta love the ufc management they made around 139 million off connor and gave him 18 million of it. this doesnt include what they get in foreign tv rights either.
this is the thing about the ufc, you have to take what they give you , there is nowhere else to go.

So what, the UFC still takes the risk running the show. They should be making money. If he doesn't like it go do something else he's still making great money. He tried to fuck with them and they showed they don't need him.

grim i totally agree with you the ufc has managed to brand themselves as mma, there fighters cannot sell a fgiht without them
unlike boxers. mma fighters will never ever make what top boxers to.
that being said boxing is dying in north america. it is nowhere what it used to be.

Oh yes that's right because running the show doesn't cost anything and Conor is the only one that gets paid. All pure profit. ::) ::) ::) ::)
Take your head of the your ass and factor in other fighters' pay, arena rentals, advertising on TV, paying hundreds of other people's salary every month, debt payments etc. etc.

Are you suggesting the employer itself and all the other UFC staff that made it happen shouldn't get paid?
Maybe I should go to my employer and demand that since our profits are X I deserve most of it!

MMA isn't as big as boxing. That's why they don't make the same money.

Exactly. And dont forget about the luxury jets. 1,000 dollar bottles of wine, 40 grand watches, lobbyist bribes, and criminal payoffs, just to name a few.

Nice verbal camouflage, Connor. :D

Only 18 million? The Poor lad I'm sure it's a struggle living on such a meagre salary.

Hi Connor... ::)

Lol no costs factored in at all please don't do business accounts. No advertising , no staffing, no expenses. You now know the UFC have made 18MIL profit from Connors last 3 fights. Turnover is vanity profit is sanity.

$22 Million

"B-but muh $22million for three 25 minute fights (at the absolute most) isn't enough for me to flash my cash with the big boys I hang around with. You're nothing without me Dana, y-y-you'll see!"
Lol get real. Conor is no better than some dirty little pikey, he's beyond white trash- just a EU version of it. He thinks he's running the game when there's people who piss 22 mil. He's the type of homo who comes up on a little money then runs to rodeo drive and buys a bunch of Ralph and Gucci and a Bentley and thinks he's high class and sophisticated, all while true high class (whether or not they're athletes) laugh their asses off at him.
His antics are beyond annoying and his actions are purely white trash like I said. The fact that so many people buy into it and "love" it and defend them just proves how shit this world is becoming and how daft the average person is becoming. Can't wait for Nate to beat his ass again, Conor is a little hoe.

Most overated fighter ever. Funny though. Good for him. Got paid.

You are exactly the type he is trying to appeal to. He wants you to hate him - you "can't wait for Nate to beat his ass" - so you are now interested in the fight. Were you interested in Saturdays fight between Thibault Gouti and Olivier Aubin-Mercier? Probably not.
-
ha ha bros i am getting my ass kicked in this thread,
but its all good, dont get me wrong i hate connor mcgregor, and i dont think his time at the top is going to last long
i think he will get beat again by nate, if he goes to lw his chances arent very good there either.

What is the next Royce-Shamrock fight?

this is what happened to old school fan in this thread :)

I'd be interested in the fight regardless who Diaz was fighting. I can recognize a real fighter/athlete in any sport and I like to watch them compete.
You are completely assuming that I'm solely interested in the fight just to see Conor get whooped and that I'm just a typical tapout/affliction homo. I could care less if he wants me to hate him, I would dislike him regardless.

Conor McGregor is happy as long as he makes moty and his ilk to watch the fights.

I never get this kind of argument and thinking. It shows a complete lack of understanding of a free market economy. Every seller wants to get as much as possible. Every buyer wants to spend the least amount possible. They make a deal.
If Conor, not you, feel he is underpaid then why is he fighting? Why doesn't he go somewhere else to get a better deal. You put your goods or services on the market and sell to the highest bidder. You always want more but it's not about getting only what you want. There are buyers to contend with and they are also looking out for their best interest. Which means paying as little as will be accepted by the seller.
And only the buyer and seller should determine what that price is. It doesn't matter what you, or anybody else, thinks insofar if it's a good or bad deal. You're not involved and suffer zero consequences in the transaction. If you can offer a better deal then do it.
It should be noted that most amateur athletes by definition don't get paid for competing in their sport and in most case have to pay to compete. I spent a fortune over the years competing in Jiu-Jitsu tournaments ($60-$120 per tournament). Most aspiring fighters will gladly fight for free on a UFC card.

You want to try that one again bud?
And lol I've never bought a pay per view in my life. It's real easy to act like a complete homo then when 50% of people don't like you (if not more), switch it up and claim "oh that was my goal, I was MEANING to make people dislike me hurr durr".
Like I said, Conor is nothing but a dirty white trash pikey. True wealth laughs at him.

I am a friend of Conor's, I will send your regards - he says he's sorry he boned your missus in Vegas

Assuming your figures are anywhere close, that's almost 13%. Take into account how many fighters were on those cards. Is a 13% cut small for 1 fighter?
