Conor McGregor made a pretty penny during his UFC 246 destruction of Donald ‘Cowboy’ Cerrone last weekend.
McGregor stands alone as being the best paid fighter in mixed martial arts today, and likely combat sports as a whole, and was once again at the top of the UFC’s list of disclosed payments to fighters following last Saturday’s event in Las Vegas.
The Dubliner took home $3,050,000 following his brief bout with Cerrone, $3,000,000 flat for the fight itself and then an additional $50,000 as one of the five performance bonuses doled out by UFC boss Dana White following the event.
The figures were revealed by the Nevada State Athletic Commission do not include additional payments such as discretionary bonuses, pay-per-view revenue and sponsorship deals outside of the UFC. McGregor had previously suggested that the estimates to make a figure in the region of $80,000,000 for the fight.
Cerrone, for his part, will take home $200,000 disclosed — the same payment issued to co-main event winner Holly Holm following her win against Raquel Pennington, though Holm’s figure includes a $50,000 winning bonus.
