Mcgregor may have made at least $10 million for ufc 189

[SuperNerd]

If you include all the work hes done before the fight, not that crazy imo.

 

[rancid]

percentage of live gate, global ppv, sponsors? not sure what else to add to his reported $3 mil...

 

[Hardkore]

He made more than GSP or Anderson? I'm going to say, no

 

[MarloStanfield]

worth every shekel

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

Also as per http://www.mmafighting.com/2011/04/21/espn-study-brock-lesnar-mmas-top-paid-star-in-2010

Using the formula the UFC released at the time, Lesnar would have made just less than $2.5 million for UFC 121, and just over $2.8 million for UFC 116 just in pay-per-view bonuses.

UFC 121 got 1,050,000 buys
UFC 116 got 1,160,000 buys

So unless Conor got a deal that is 4-6x better than Lesnar, he's just making stuff up. It's just marketing.

I wonder what Reebok pays him. It has to be alot.

His fan boys will swallow whatever Mcgregor tells them.

From his twitter






Looks like mcgregor made a nice 8 figure paycheck

I highly doubt that.

the man said it's from his twitter. what part don't you get about twitter?

*yawn*

I doubt they pay him much more than very early six figures per fight. He likely makes the majority of his Reebok money from ads/merchandise sales. (He actually has his own line besides the "kits")

 

[Jayfiddy]

Nah not hardly

 

[Hardkore]

Considering he didn't want to wear their gear at the weigh ins, I wouldn't if I were Reebok.

 

[Drake]

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

This.

Dont think ufc uses that deal anymore. Gsp said before that hes made 5 million a fight.

 

[bearVSshark]

I doubt he has a lot of overhead that others do. He brags about how the ufc puts him up for free and flies in hhis training partners.

 

[CoffeeAndBeer]

Not enough.


Dana is still making too much of the cut.

 

[wlu29]

Lol at believing that

 

[Gluteus Swag]

He said 4-5 million per fight. Which would include base pay + PPV points + sponsors (He was easily the most sponsored fighter in the UFC)

Which is roughly in line with the $3.5 million Chael estimated Jose was losing out on by missing this fight (Chael was a big enough star to receive PPV points for a couple of his fights, including Silva v Sonnen 2 which did roughly equal buys to Conors fight)

 

[corrupted]

"may have made at least"... most vaguely speculative post today

 

[chokeyou]

Probably his goal for the Aldo fight the stadium in texas.

 

[NoMoreBS]

I don't like conor but do believe him here..

1. why would he lie about figures?

2. if it happened he would brag and take credit for it which means it just happened

His a megalomaniac but not a liar I absolutely believe him
