UFC har nu gått ut med medianlönen för sina fighters, vilket ligger på ca 24 500 dollar (207 678 kronor). Conor McGregor tjänade 500 000 dollar (4 238 329 kr).
Detta kunde vi läsa via ”The Economist”:
Mr McGregor reportedly earned $500,000 (not including bonuses or sponsorships) for a recent bout. But most UFC fighters make decidedly less. The median pay per fight is $24,500, and most pugilists get in the ring only a couple of times a year. Some fighters think the muscle of a union might help them get better pay and more say. Earlier this month, the Teamsters, along with a local culinary union, announced that they intended to help fighters organize.
Conor McGregor kommer härnäst att möta Jose Aldo den 12 december under UFC 194 och kan även då se fram emot en ordentlig lönecheck. Sist mötte han Chad Mendes under UFC 189 och segrade då via knockout i andra ronden.
