I just read that Conor McGregor is getting paid 500k for the fight. Considering the number of ppv's which will be sold for this fight, that pay truly sucks. Mundine has earnt more from many of his fights.

Nah... That would be just show money.

It's deceiving... Conor is the ultimate bet on yourself guy...

He takes a figure way way down like 500K for show money....

But he will probably collect more as a win bonus...

Or he can elect to have a flat fee as his fight payment win or lose...

But he makes by far the most money for the PPV numbers... He has bonuses that are rumoured to go in to 5 - 10M if he achieves a certain amount of buys.

He won't end up with Floyd or Manny money... But looking at how this PPV is tracking he will end up somewhere over 10M

First MMA PPV I've ever ordered. I'd normally watch it at the pub but have to stay at home today. Im getting a few coldies and some tucker shortly....cannot wait!!!!

Really starting to dislike Yoel Romero, homophobic, fence grabbing, non getting off his stool cheat

Right result....if the fight went another two rounds, the result would be different. Big first round from Romero.

Not arguing the result, really could've gone either way TBH but Romero is a grub

Wow Rockhold really poured it on at the end of the 3rd, surprised it wasn't stopped

 

[Wizardman]

Rockhold kicked that overrated merkin's ass

 

[Wizardman]

Romero did get a little lucky with that backfist

Souza fought a dumb fight

McGregor/Aldo Over in 3 seconds...what a jip

 

[aqua_duck]

Wtf was that? Seems like Conor was right about Aldo wanting out

 

[chigurh]

Lame

Hope Edgar gets the next shot, he might not win but atleast he'd take McGregor into deep water

Croke park and msg rematches lock then in already

 

[Wizardman]

That was just f**king stunning.....Aldo won't get a straight up rematch here. Edgar deserves it more.

How far will Conor go in his career?

 

[aqua_duck]

Pretty damn far especially if everyone of his opponents borrows Jose's gameplan

 

[Wizardman]

Everybody has a plan until they get a punch in the nose.

Surely the plan wasn't to run hands down into McGregor's power hand, reminded me of Zingano V Rousey
