Im curious. How did Conor know Nate was a millionaire?

[SoSoSmart]

Disclosed 500k per UFC, so how much did Nate really make? And is it practice to let the fighters know? I just watch the fights. Conor fans worry about the money and what not. I dont know how the backroom bonuses work.

I think it's just talk to hype the fight.

Conor has a business relationship with the UFC. They aren't gonna be illegally disclosing other fighters' pay to him.

Okay, that makes a lot more sense than the UFC telling fighter x that fighter y will only make such. That would be complete bullshit.

Selling the fight and boosting him self.
" I am so good and such a big star, that fighting me will make you millions"

 

[liontruth]

I actually think Conor was well aware of what Nate got paid. They probably did some kind of PPV points split of some sort. It would be really interesting to see the negotiations that take place behind the scenes

 

[Fyreborn]

Didn't Dana confirm Nate was getting millions?

I think Conor probably had a decent idea of what Nate got. Remember, Nate is more popular than Chad Mendes.

Mendes was a letdown, just a late replacement. Nate actually *increased* interest in the fight from RDA.

 

[MMAAAM]

Dana confirmed Nate made one million from that that fight.

I'm guessing the disclosed numbers mean jack shit since there's no way Conor only made one million as well.

 

[LyotoMacheetah]

Wtf. Conor was making fun of him for being in the UFC for so long and not being a millionaire.

Learn rhetorical questions.

How is it illegal to say how much one of your independent contractors make?

I don't know the law. I assumed wrong then?

 

[King Bastar]

You idiot, 500K DOES makes you a millionaire.

Learn math.

 

[rjmbrd]

Dana also said Nate was training for a triathlon, because he's a bold face liar.

The man is a promoter, his job isn't to tell the truth, his job is to promote his brand.

Nobody has any idea what either man was paid.

 

[sidecheckkick]

Nate made 2.09 million dollars

 

[KORMAN]

He probably meant what Nate already had in the bank, on top of the 500k.

I thought 500K would make one a billionaire.

You should probably change your username, as it's misleading.

 

[Selukrid612]

It sounds like Nate got a PPV%, which is only fair. He already got $600,000 that we know of, with big PPV numbers he would've made a few million.

And you should change your name to pretentious asshole. Suits you... really.

Pretentious would imply that it's an assumption, so that would be misleading.
