MMA Fighting reports the Nevada Athletic Commission has disclosed the fighter purses for The Money Fight and Conor McGregor will make $30 million and Floyd Mayweather will receive $100 million.
The purses exclude the ancillary revenue the fighters will make such as sponsorships and PPV upside.
The $30 million payday will be 10 times the amount of the highest pay he reportedly made in the UFC. Mayweather may make an additional $20 million on fight night sponsorship deals alone.
Payout Perspective:
It’s a 70/30 split which I had believed would happen and still shows you that Mayweather is the “A” side. There was no way that Conor and the UFC would have received a better deal than Pacquiao who received in the neighborhood of a 60-40 split. Still, $30 million is a lot of money. We will see once it all shakes out how much each (and of course the UFC) received from The Money Fight.
