It’s not $15 million, but it’s close. $5 million to show, $5 million to win. It would also be the biggest payout any UFC fighter has ever received. Conor McGregor broke the record by earning $3 million to show in his last fight with Nate Diaz at UFC 202. The Diaz brother also netted $2 million, setting the precedent for his astronomical rate he has requested since then. This will be a test to see if fighters other than McGregor can successfully negotiate such a spike in pay. With pressure building to put on a huge year-end show and a lot of the big talent already used up from UFC 217 and UFC 218, leverage is on Woodley and Diaz’s side.
“Guys in our sport bump their gums quite a bit and they get you to think they are these huge tough guys, these gangsters, that they’ll fight anybody, anytime. Then when you get in front of a person like me, then the crickets start to come out and they don’t really want to fight. It happened with [Michael] Bisping, it happened with Georges St-Pierre, it happened with Conor McGregor, it happened with Nick Diaz — big brother — and now it’s happening with baby brother. So, I guess it’s in the bloodline. I just told you. It’s 50-percent done. All you gotta’ say is yes. Put the ink to the paper and we’re done. Get off the pot. Quit crappin’ yourself. You done took plenty of butt whoopins’ before. This ain’t going to be anything different. Get your big paycheck and drift off into the fog.” — Tyron Woodley speaking on The Hollywood Beatdown.
This dude keeps running off reckless at the mouth. He needs to go to Chaels school of how to talk smack because he's garbage at it. If Nate believes he can make more money holding out for a 3rd fight with Conor then I wouldn't take this either unless the UFC met his demands. T-Wood hasn't earned the right to call his own shots with his terrible performances, he's not a "needle mover" and no one is demanding the UFC to take their money to watch him fight..
