Chael left out how the UFC took the lion share of Conor's money. When Floyd & Conor 1st announced their intentions to fight Dana White threatened to Sue them & keep them in court for up to 5 yrs until he realized how much money the UFC could make.

[@rastafenian7200]

Conor said he personally made $80,000,000 from the Mayweather fight.

[@AuschwitzMyPants]

“Mayweather's guaranteed disclosed paycheck was $100 million and McGregor's guaranteed disclosed paycheck was $30 million. However, the purse for the two fighters was expected to be substantially higher for each, with Mayweather reportedly earning $280 million from the fight and McGregor earning $130 million”.

You're definitely not saying he let the cameras see a 100 million check on 24/7 for the Conor fight because he was signed to Showtime boxing and 24/7 is HBO. IF he shows a $100 million check believe it's for multiple fights for signing to the promotion or its like I said and it's one of his Mayweather promotion checks that he himself pays upfront for.

Plus if you consider the price of the PPV with May-Pac which is $90-100+ it's not impossible for Floyd to get paid over $100m.. plus it was the most hype fight in the history coz even casuals who doesn't even know Floyd and Pacquiao before the match bought that fight..

I had to pull over and hit buy on every $500 ticket (the cheapest ones) I could pick and every one was sold out. I click another seat, sold out. Another seat, sold out. Finally I got one. Paid $500. Tried another 15 minutes and couldn't get another. Fight week I sold that single ticket that was in the nose bleeds for $1,500. There were other tickets you could buy then but they were all scalper prices by then.

U can legit see where the problem starts with stuff like this. Everyone doing match at 3million buys X $60 when it was $99 for HD. So ur already shorting the man $120 million from that start then ur nothing taking in live gate tickets & sponsorship/deal $ where most the money comes from. They made $300 million just on PPV buys they could of easily made close to a billion dollars before everything was paid off

He made at least 100M each for the Manny and Conor fights because those were his guarantees. The commission requires he be paid his guaranteed on fight night. What he made after the splits and PPV numbers is likely still a very large sum. No way chael made 8.8 for Silva

@@MrBeetsGaming when someone gives you fact you still won’t believe it. Commission guarantee means a disclosed fund. Floyd will pay tax for that 100m and he must get that 100m regardless if the fight sells or not. Any money outside that 100m can be exaggerated but that 100m is a must

I remember Floyd saying he made like $300 million for the Conor fight. And McGregor made like $100 million. That’s like $400 million just between the two of them alone lol. The event would of had to make like $1 billion for that to make sense paying them that much money lol. I don’t think Floyd got anything close to that. Maybe Floyd walked away with $100M and Conor walked away with like $50M. That seems more logical. 🤷🏼‍♂️

I remember that number just rose every time anybody asked mcgregor or mayweather what they will get paid, they both got such big egos they upped that number to from like what you wrote, Floyd making around 100 and mcgregor 50.
