UFC Owner Says Conor McGregor Might Be The First Fighter To Earn $100 Million

For once, Fertitta might be on to something. Obviously, any talk about how much money Conor is going to make hinges on his future success. People are largely interested in Conor because of his ability to talk trash out of the cage, and back it up inside. That second part is really, really important and if he loses a fight or two (which is possible, really, because both the featherweight and lightweight divisions are absolutely packed with talent), his stock will plummet.

That said, word on Twitter is that Conor is currently looking for an upwards of $20 million per fight. The man deserves it, of course, and if he can get it, that would blow away the record for biggest paycheck in UFC history. Ronda Rousey, by comparison, was projected to have made a measly $3.5 million in the first half of 2015, with her two fights against Bethe Correia and Cat Zingano.

If he can start earning that kind of money, and win four more fights in a row, he will probably start getting within reach of that $100,000,000 mark.
