News Conor earned $15m for 2nd Diaz fight

1.65 Million PPV Buys. At $60 each. That's roughly $100 million. Then the gate, and what UFC earned on sponsors and stuff. Conor getting less than 15% of total intake lol UFC gonna UFC.

Tough to guess since event expenses are not known (arena, production, staff, advertising, hotel/travel, etc.)

But if you add in the reported/rumored $10m for Diaz, the main event was about 35-40% of event revenue

Now don't forget that UFC gets TV money from non-PPV areas
While that money is not per event (they get a yearly amount), that money goes to UFC'e end

Are you counting the live gate too? They get ad revenue also.

Conor has them by the balls, and Nate kind of did too in this one case, though I doubt Nate made that much. That would make Nate the second highest paid fighter in UFC history (for one fight), hard to believe.

Dana said it costs them about $2 million to do an event (on average) in an interview in FightSport magazine (June 2007). Costs have surely gone up since then, and they would've spent a lot more than normal advertising this card.
 
Conor deserved atleast double of that. 1.65m ppv buys and 15M. Conor got robbed

Yes to 1st paragraph

The $10m Nate figure came from h
two things ...
1. When Conor dropped out of UFC 200, nate renegotiated a huge payday because lorenzo said that Conor blew a $10m payday
2. Nates manager who was repping him, sued for $1m (10%)

so going by the above & the fact it broke the PPV record, it seems plausible

Hey man
just for accuracy, it came in at 1.5m (final).
most websites won't update
But his payday is roughly 20-25% of rev
