If he gets a million I'm happy for him he should make at least that with the type of event

Didn't realize ppv shares were worth that many millions

Yessir! That's where all the money is. That's why being a champ (used to) mean something in this sport because you got paid more because you automatically got PPV points. 

If true and his show money is only $150k, I still wouldn't be surprised if he made more than Nate did at 202. 

 

[af1 1982]

And once again, the biggest loser in this case is RDA. Feel bad for dude

 

[red81]

He's not going to sniff what Nate made at 202. He's probably going to make around ~2.5mil from PPV shares+$150k purse:

 According to the court documents, the UFC is prepared to pay Alvarez $1 for every buy the UFC receives for each PPV event in which Alvarez appears. That number goes up to $2 per buy when total buys reach 400,000-600,000, and $2.50 when it exceeds 600,000.

In comparison, according to multiple reports, Conor and Nate made around 11 million in PPV shares alone for UFC 202.

Damn. But that still is great money. I remember when Conor made $2 mil for 194 (or was it 196?) and dudes were going nuts. First UFC fighter to break a million right?

 

[red81]

Yeah, that's still really good money. The top fighters in the sport are eaaaaaaating.

Just getting on a Conor card as a fighter with PPV incentives is like hitting the lotto. You already know this event will eclipse 1 million PPV buys easy.

I think Conor is the first UFC fighter to receive over a million dollar purse, but not first to walk away with a million. I vividly remember Chuck getting 500k to show and PPV buys. A couple of those ppv events were did pretty well.

Shouldn't have lost to Eddie still can't believe it

You hit the nail on the head, if you headline with Conor you're eating

I'm sure woodley and wonderboy get shares too right? Anyone else eligible for this card?

 

[af1 1982]

Shouldn't have pulled out against Conor. Went from fighting on PPV to fighting on fight pass. COT DAMN

 

[red81]

Conor really does change bum lives. 

 

[carver]

That too..but his foot did look pretty jacked.

 

[red81]

I think if the UFC goes all out in promoting this event, they could smash 202's record of 1.6 million PPV buys and hit 2 million PPV buys. 

 The card definitely has the potential to do so.

Has the potential and I think it will.

Let's not forget that there wasn't usual Conor hype with the week leading up to 202. Didn't have the same feel as 200 or 194. And it still did record numbers.

As long no one pulls out (and that's a big if) this card will do serious numbers

 

[Vincent Van Goat]

Can only imagine if Lawler never pulled out 

 

[QU!K]

Frankie must be sad AF

 

[boxer15]

Dana must be extra pleased with the prostate massages.

 

[blackcease]

The second he stops making them money he'll be discarded with the quickness, but in the meantime yeah he's definitely bending them over. If he wins and Dana lets him keep both belts Conor officially has his nuts in his pocket

 

[thejrob]

Anyone ever sat all the way up in the 300s at MSG???

Curious if I'd even be able to see

Every seat at msg is good.

 

[Vincent Van Goat]

Conor been calling he shots for a while now

I agree with blackcaesar Dana will continued to be run by mcgregor as long as these bags keep coming in

 

[daprescription]

UFC has become so tired that I'm glad I don't pay my money for these events. McGregor wants to hold two belts which is nice, but not so impressive in my eyes when he avoids defending the belt he won almost a year ago. Fighting Nate makes him king when that guy got beat, easily, by Ben, RDA, and got stopped by Josh Thompson.
Bringing up the money is pretty insulting to other fighters when I'm sure a lot of them aren't about having all the **** buying. Sports entertainment I guess [emoji]128580[/emoji]

 

[g money 87]

No wonder gsp ain't complained bout money back then, dude was eating off them ppv points.

 

[illphillip]

Kind of bummed no UFC Tonight.....tonight.

 

[shogun]

No wonder gsp ain't complained bout money back then, dude was eating off them ppv points.

Plus all that endorsement money he was getting. Did he have a gatorade deal?
