Manny Pacquiao has earned a minimum of $20 million per fight since 2010/11. His fight with Antonio Margarito sold 1.15 million PPVs and he made $35 million.

Conor's last ppv sold 1.5 million and he earned around $10 million all in all. Conor getting $10 million isn't even fair. He is worth treble that. And Brock and GSP and Ronda are and were all worth around that too. UFC has been screwing it's fighters over for far too long.
 
The gate for Pacquiao vs Margarito was $5 million. The gate for Conor vs Nate was $8 million. Again. The pay is not fair in UFC.

first thing I agree with you on.
 
worth treble that eh?
 
Does that mean we're not going to see any little Conor Juniors and Baby GSPs in the near future if they're not getting laid any more?
 
Sherdoggers who are also syndicalists for wealthy fighters. The best.

How many fights are on a boxing card? Of that, how many of those guys do you even know? you buy the main event. A UFC event you buy the entire card. It's a better value. Nevermind that Conor got choked out in that last fight. Conor fans are delusional and scrambling for something to hold on to. Nothing is "over". Nobody is getting screwed. Calm down fanboys, he is still more than likely going to fight this year.
 
Conor's ride is over. No one wants to watch this bum get slapped around again
 
If having Conor on the card increased the pay for every fighter on that card, you guys would have an argument about him truly benefiting the sport. Only his opponents see an increase in pay, and it has yet to be seen if that increase is sustained after they have fought.

Now conor is fucking jesus christ on the cross...lol

if the diaz fight wasn't a reality check for you, this new incident should be
 
UFC is done. I give it another 2 years tops without Conor.

Conor can go into boxing, acting, etc. The UFC loses a lot more than Conor does. Smart move by the GOAT.
 
I've said this previously, if you're in the top 5 of your division, 100k or more should be your pay. If you're a champ, 1 mil or more.
 
Considering Conor came in and in just a few years most likely broke the record for income from a single event, I'd say change has already come, but what does this mean? People love to come parrot their facts about Mayweather and Pacquiao. Wow. Two guys. The same two recycled names, one of which owns his own promotion, making his numbers essentially irrelevant as he's just paying his lf whatever he wants because he IS the promoter.

The era of Conor attending press conferences and trying to browbeat and bully his opponents is over.

1.5 million buys x 30(UFC only gets half the PPV) is 45 million. + 8 million gate and you have 53 million. i know there are sponsors and foreign tv rights(lets say 7 million) but that is the majority of the revenue. does not include costs including production and all the other fights. if conor is worth 3x that would be 30 million.

so you are saying conor should get 50% of all revenue before expenses?
