wonderfullife wrote: » That's $10.35 million. You're making up the $15 million figure by factoring in his Monster/Budweiser/24Option type endorsements.
Gamebred wrote: » What am I missing here? Ardin thinks Conor makes 3m per fight, he doesnt, Yeah on the floyd fight a 50m payday and retirement into the sunset would be terrific way to bow out himself financially secure for life although he probably is already but knowing how he spends who knows, I hope you're having a good start to 2017 anyways bud.
Gamebred wrote: » Without getting into a debate I am in fact not wrong, ardinn stated that 15m is 5 times more than Conor has ever earned to fight in the UFC, that is completely factually wrong, His purse to show is 3m alright but hes paid ppv points and endorsements hes clearing more than 15m dollars pre tax, not that I care really for the specifics too much, 15m to show v Floyd is insulting ppv pts or not too.
wonderfullife wrote: » Ok but as I said above: $3.5 million was his reported disclosed purse for UFC 205. UFC 205 PPV was reported to have done 1.35 million He gets $5 per PPV (which is the current highest tier) That's $10.35 million. You're making up the $15 million figure by factoring in his Monster/Budweiser/24Option type endorsements. Either way, if we take the middle figure of $12.5 million pre-tax..... He'd very likely clear $60 million against Floyd including endorsements - $15 million purse, PPV points on a 3 million+ buy-rate, and added endorsements. So you'd still be wrong and it would be 5 times as much pre-tax. I still love you though
wonderfullife wrote: » You might be laughing but you're (also) wrong. Conor got (reportedly) $3.5 million + PPV cut for UFC 205. That amounts (roughly) to $10.4 million from the traditional model of purse+PPV.

If not the next fight i can see this fight as one of McGregors next 3 fights. Holloway will be fighting at lightweight by then or just for that fight. I can see the weight class thing being dumbed down a bit more under the new ufc management and their focus will be geared more on creating match ups rather than stringent weight classes fights. Catch weights will be more of a thing too. Generates high ppv and the fighter coming up a weight loses no cast in defeat.

McGregor Takes Shot At Mayweather Over Domestic Violence Charge. Conor McGregor has provoked retired boxer Floyd Mayweather Jr. with an emoji depicting McGregor reigning supreme over Mayweather captioned ‘call me C.J Watson’. Watson is currently a back-up point guard for the Orlando Magic in the NBA, but in 2010, it was understood that Watson had an intimate relationship with Josie Harris, the mother of three of Mayweather’s children. In December 2011, Mayweather pleaded guilty to one count of misdemeanor battery domestic violence and no contest to two counts of harassment for hitting Harris, in which he was sentenced to 90 days in jail. McGregor’s tweet comes just a matter of hours after Mayweather appeared on ESPN’s First Take claiming that the proposed fight between the two is being stalled due to McGregor’s refusal to accept the $15 million purse Mayweather has offered to him for his participation in the bout.

Outlaw Pete wrote: » Wasn't a radio interview, he said in this interview on ESPN's First Take (8 mins in) that he would be willing to give Conor twice what he has made so far from a single bout. He seems to think he has made only 7m or so and I think is ignoring how much Conor has made after his PPV cut. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N3TGGEt-m-E

It's def. not close at all, but it's def. a story worth monitoring" That's interesting to me as Ariel has been quick to shoot down these rumours before. I got the impression he barely wanted to make reference to it.
Hail 2 Da Chimp wrote: » Honestly, the Woodley and Bisping super fight has me completely stumped... Woodley needs to fight Wonderboy or Maia and there's no amount of talent lining up for Bisping. I'm glad McGregor went for the LW belt, as I don't think FW held much more for him at the time. Woodly and Bisping need to defend their titles before trying to arrange a "super fight" that no one is calling for.
Tripp Modern Self-sacrifice wrote: » I honestly think the current trend of "superfights" is only going to last so long. People are going to lose interest in seeing pointless, irrelevant fight quite quickly, give it two years and I'm fairly confident the UFC will be back to how it was in the past.
