After Duran beat Ray Leonard, he also demanded a huge pay day.
Duran was the B side so he didn't get paid well
Duran would earn $1.5 million, by far his biggest payday ever, while Leonard stood to make between $7.5 million and $10 million, more money than any man had ever collected for a fight. Leonard would receive the $3.5 million paid by the Olympic Installations Board to stage the fight, plus all the money for the delayed home television broadcast rights—between $500,000 and $800,000. Leonard would also get 80% of the $500,000 to $700,000 from the sale of foreign TV rights, with the promoters getting the rest. Finally, Leonard would receive 80% of the closed circuit TV revenues—with the promoters getting the remaining 20%—after the first $2.5 million of those revenues came off the top. From that $2.5 million, Duran would get his $1.5 million, and the remaining $1 million would go to the promoters to cover expenses. All in all, the package virtually assured Leonard more than $7.5 million.

After Duran beat him...He was the A side and get got paid way better.
http://boxrec.com/media/index.php/Roberto_Duran_vs._Sugar_Ray_Leonard_(2nd_meeting)Duran was guaranteed $8 million, and Leonard was guaranteed $7 million.
It cost Leonard to get the rematch....Duran went from 1.5 million to 8 million...He got paid 5.3 x as much!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
If MMA was a real fucking sport, Khabib will get paid and their chicken will pay to get a chance of not being emasculated again.
Khabib needs to not give Conor the rematch and make him pay atleast 5x as much...if not more....Fair is Fair.
I say Khabib gets 60% of the Purse....and Conor gets 40%.....Fair as fuck.
Khabib has Conor's emasculated balls, and if he wants them back, it will cost him and Dana lots of money.
Fuck this Corporate UFC greed!
