ESPN interview with Conor: the UFC made $400 million in the Conor-Diaz ppv

[brownsmith76]

Dana White is a greedy, bald businessman. He demands that Conor flies for 40 hours on airplanes and do 70 press conferences.

$400 million is more than enough to give the low level fighters at least $30,000 each for their sacrifice, blood, and sweat.

There's also no reason not to let the Mayweather fight go ahead. He's asking for $100 million.

lol @ Thinking they made 400 million on that one PPV. Pacquiao/Mayweather didn't make 400 million, the UFC damn sure hasn't had an event that made them 400 million.

 

[ortizgnp]

People are fucking...







smart.

[KONE]

lol'd hard @ "Dana is a greedy, bald businessman"

 

[MMAViewer]

I guessed white belt and I was right.

You can't make this shit up.

Thanks again sherdog!!

 

[burningspear]

They made bank, the card did fantastic numbers, the brass arent going to stay mad at Conor for too long.

 

[FrankieNYC]

Anybody that believes that 196 made UFC $400 million is an absolute fool

UFC grossed $600 million in all of 2015

Mayweather Pacman sure did make 400 mil in PPV. it was around 4.4 mil buys and over 400 mil in ppv revenue.

Pacman who doesnt promote himself was guaranteed over 100 mil to show. Boxing (and all other sports) are about the stars and athletes. UFC fighter can generate 500 mil in ppv revenue and never even close to a 9 figure guaranteed purse because the revenue share and pay out ratio sucks(its all about the promoter lol).

 

[Mr Wings]

Conor gets a Harley for each press conference.

 

[Wariowokecancel]

Conor is a bullshitter.

They UFC would have had to sell 20 million PPVs at 40 bucks because they get 50% of revenue

 

[vigneshm1995]

Dana White is a greedy, bald businessman.

Fact!

 

[Nuremberg]

So Diaz had nothing to do with it right?

Conor is just spewing millions because Nate choke him like a bitch.

The whole lead up was Conor using rehearsed lines and racism whereas Diaz was like just bring it biotch.

Most of us knew lil 168lbs Conor was going to be obliterated by a much superior fighter in Diaz, THATS WHAT MADE 400 MILLION.

 

[FrankieNYC]

Conor is a bullshitter.

For some reason that does not bother me as much as the gullible fools that parrot everything he says!

I didn't say it didn't gross 400 million, I said made as in profit. Of that 440 million in ppv buys, half of that would be paid to the PPV Provider. Then you have HBO/Showtime that are going to get roughly 10% of the ppv as well.

 

[FrankieNYC]

THATS WHAT MADE 400 MILLION.

NOTHING came close to making $400 million

jeez lol

 

[Fox by the Sea]

holy mother of exaggeration, conor.

 

[burningspear]

I'm with you on the $30,000 base pay cheque though, tight bastards!

 

[The Penetrator]

i make 400 million every week...

cents that is... on a computer game... sim city...

ufc didnt make 400 million off that ppv dont be stupid... i know manipulating large numbers can be confusing, but 400 million for UFC off that fight, just stop it...

then its the wrong comparison. since Conor's claim of 400 mil is in revenue also. we are talking about revenue vs revenue.
