Wow, slow down bro, McGregor does not make 10m per fight, as a matter of fact his last fight against Diaz, he made 1 millon, and it was the most he was paid in ufc.
Nobody does 10m per fight in UFC.
That being said, McGregor is far from WWE right now, way too far.
See below....easily googled with lots of hits.
UFC 196 will feature one of the most popular fighters in the sport in a new division as Conor McGregor takes on Nate Diaz at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas on Saturday night. The move from featherweight to welterweight for the March 4 bout will help McGregor make a pretty penny.
On Friday, McGregor, who was joined by Diaz, spoke with CNBC's Jane Wells about the financial side of Saturday's fight.
"I'm going to breeze past the $10 million mark," he said.
McGregor will receive UFC's first $1 million purse, per Brett Okamoto of ESPN.
Along with the fight's purse, McGregor will get a cut of the pay-per-view revenue, per Wells.
It's quite an increase in earnings compared to his last fight. At UFC 194 back in December, McGregor made $500,000 for knocking out Jose Aldo in 13 seconds, per MMA Fighting.
After that fight, UFC chairman and CEO Lorenzo Fertitta told ESPN's Darren Rovell that he thought McGregor would be the sport's "first $100 millionaire."
