kimbo305 posted:Ahh yess.... WME is hosed. Breaking it down like this also helps explain why they were willing to let Conor go fight Mayweather. This huge McGregor vs Diaz 3 hypothetical PPV event, which is the biggest fight they can make right now, looks like it sends less money to WME than what they were able to pocket from the freakshow.

There are about 600 current UFC fighters, so at $4 billion, each fighter should get $6.6 million, and we can have a employee operated UFC. Win-win

Google Butt posted:You asked if he deserved it. He doesn't. He only "deserves" it in the context of a McGregor fight in which Conor will generate a majority of whatever leverage Nate has in any given fight. Nate deserves to get paid - and paid well - but c'mon, not several times over other fighters that are better, haven been better, and will always be better. Nate is a million dollar fighter but not 20 million.

to me, when nate diaz's boxing coach says he deserves 20 million for a mcgregor rematch, that's a wholly separate thing to nate diaz actually demanding 20 million for the fight

i wanna see him fight either tony ferguson or khabib which khabib will never do or max holloway which conor wont do. so he's gonna end up fighting interim lightweight champion the mo-town phenom kevin lee

Rigel posted:I was curious about the money, so I pulled out a calculator and looked up some numbers from past fights. McGregor vs Diaz 2 did 1.6 million PPV buys, I assume most of that is domestic, so I assumed they could do it again and call it $50 each. (Some will pay the $60 price and I have no idea how much commercial PPV sales brings in, balance that with cheaper overseas prices) So, $80 million. Cut that in half because the cable and satellite providers typically get half and the promoter gets the other half. So, $40 million. Lol

You know what, actually Nate does deserve $20 million in a Conor fight that generates give or take $100 million gross, which seems pretty possible. So gently caress it, I was wrong, PEACE

It's weird that you care this much about who deserves what

It's weird that you care this much about who deserves what I think it's really because of the Conor effect in MMA, especially after the Mayweather fight. I'm not sure this model translates to better pay for fighters, and as much as I want to see Nate get paid, the sport is going down a dangerous path.

if we're gonna keep throwing around fantasy words like "deserve", then nate diaz deserves a jillion dollars and immunity from all laws/drug testing due to the fight where he had that one dullard in a triangle and stuck up both his bad fingers to the crowd.

The "f-u" fingers were really cool. Then he flexed, also very cool. I'd also like to retroactively extend the law/drug testing exemption to Nick.
