Looks like Diaz has himself some leverage for negotiating one hell of a pay day in their trilogy fight. He and McGregor hold the top two spots together. And McGregor's made enough off Floyd, to not quibble about Diaz getting a bigger slice of the pie.

Well he is definitely running UFC. Without him do they even have an organization?

Jon Jones was poised to be that, but... man... never mind... I can't even talk about that dude.

 

[Rollie_Fingaz]

the true loser in this was adrien broner.. i told everybody he was suppose to be floyd real 50th fight..but broner had to go out and lose twice and fucked everything up..they was gonna use the friendenemies angle and have fake beef between them.. make it a big bro vs lil bro match.. throw some the only person that wet toe to toe with mayweather in sparring was broner... have him be like i kno may every move and i beat him a few times off record but this time its gona be for real..push the 50 and 0..man they was gonna hype the fuck out that..broner fucked it up

Crawford dominating 140 isn't helping Broner either. He should be glad he gave up that IBF strap so some of those niggas can eat before he moves up.

If these numbers are true and I believe they are Floyd needs to give Connor an immediate rematch. The next fight will sell at least four million pay-per-views....he will make another easy hundred million plus it's a no-brainer

That's why Conner was talking a rematch as soon as the fight was over...

His ass saw them $$$

I don't think anyone in life believes Floyd would have a chance in the octagon except for you.

He got a ton of cash. But Dana taking more than half his shit.

I'm no BGOL accountant but I'm guessing that after taxes, paying trainers and the UFC getting a cut that money won't be as much as he thinks it is.

[Biggie Smalls]....however....[/Biggie Smalls]

It should still be more than he'd make in UFC. It's got niggas like Jose Aldo thinking about boxing.

 

[STAR-69]

I heard the UFC was taking 25% of his cheque not half... that still a lot for what they did, Showtime was the main promoter of that fight.

How much is he losing in taxes on top of that? 40%?

 

[STAR-69]

I think he's paying corporate rates because he setup his own promotion company, so I would guess 20%.

That's not as bad as I thought then.

 

[Amajorfucup]

I would be shocked if it was less than half. One of the main holdups on the fight were the in house split negotiations between Conor and UFC. UFC reportedly wanted 75% as they had the most risk and were responsible for Conors platform and popularity. I cant see them going down to 25% considering all they had invested and on the line for the fight. Id guess they settled for half the proceeds and having Conor obligated to fight for the company a minimum of 3 more times.

 

[LSN]

just got an email re: a settlement for those that missed some of the undercard/fight...ranges from $25 to $99.99 depending on how much of the fight you missed...might be spam tho
