Great video breakdown of the money that a McGregor fight makes for the UFC. 3x that of a typical PPV.
 
The only thing i don't buy in this is saying he made $10 million because he said so. He embelishes everything he says

Maybe. But with that kind of money coming in you'd think he'd have to get something.
 
That actually makes me wonder why the UFC didn't try harder to protect him?

I guess it is hard to say no to a 40-60 mill payday, but they could have waited until 200 maybe and gone bigger.

Maybe they know what's up and he will still draw as big at 200, what do I know?

I remember hearing that GSP actually took home 5 mil per fight. His avg PPV numbers seem to be around 700k, slightly higher later in his career, significantly lower earlier on (he took a long time to build steam)

Conor has now broke the 1.2 mark twice in a row, this time with a non title fight, he may be bringing in enough to justify being paid double GSp's rate.

If GSP made the UFC 40-45mill and Conor makes them 60 they still make more even after maying him 10 million.

And who the fuck knows if ANY of the numbers are what anyone says they are?
