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.
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?
