Everyone understands that when you fight Conor McGregor these days, it’s going to deliver you a ton of cash, and that’s reflected in the guaranteed payouts that have been disclosed for UFC 229.
The Nevada State Athletic Commission has released the fighter purses for tonight’s event in Las Vegas, and they show that McGregor will take home a guaranteed, $3 million. His opponent, lightweight champ Khabib Nurmagomedov, meanwhile, will earn $2 million.
Neither fighter is going to receive a win bonus, but, they will also earn money, and a lot of it, from tonight’s pay-per-view fees as well.
