7 is cute these days.

Conor McGregor ‏@TheNotoriousMMA
8 figures a knock, thanks

Looks like mcgregor made a nice 8 figure paycheck

 

[Dragon Punch]

I highly doubt that.

 

[I WILL CUT YOU]

Lol no.

 

[AronaBeatsJones]

McGregor most certainly flexing here, but if he beats Aldo and becomes the superstar he's expected to be, I could see him being the first to crack 8 figures far down the road.

 

[surgeyou1]

I highly doubt that.

If he was willing to bet 3 million I'm guessing if he was making a sizeable cut.

 

[Invictu5]

I highly doubt that.

agreed, no way

 

[Kel2590]

Still trying that Mayweather style money bragging?

 

[Mesos]

PPV sold very well and their is a possibility that dana took mcgregors bet. Dana loves to gamble.

 

[soulsstealer]

Not bad for a fight where he was injured.

 

[I WILL CUT YOU]

Ppv points, plus 500k, plus the 3m bet (if its true) got him close though. Maybe 7-8m.

 

[Modern]

Maybe he made 7 million after PPV cut + the 3 million bet against Dana/Ferrita

 

[trblesome1]

So what he gets 5 dollar + per PPV buy

Seriously doubt that

 

[icecap]

Maybe he made 7 million after PPV cut + the 3 million bet against Dana/Ferrita

plus reebok sponsorship

I can easily believe he made multiple seven figures, but cracking eight sounds like stretching. Of course none of us has access to his bank account so we won't ever know for sure unless he flashes bank statements live on TV.

 

[Peteyandjia]

I think those tweets were referring to the deal for his next fight, not his last one.

 

[eiyuu]

Well according to the disclosed pay he only made $500k, so there's absolutely no way, none, zip, zero, zilch chance he made more than that--if you believe 90% of the morons here on Sherdog.

 

[Gluteus Swag]

Suppose the card got 950,000 buys

The star fighter would receive points from 750,000 of them.

His base pay was $500,000, so for an eight figure pay day he would need around $12-$13 per PPV buy in excess of 200,000

Aka hes bluffing

 

[Bones245n4847]

No way he made that.

 

[dildos]

i really hope he is dreaming and full off shit..

 

[Chromosome47]

I believe it.

Spoiler

Aldo will starch him regardless
