On the heels of UFC President Dana White announcing that Saturday’s UFC 229 event has done “way more” than 2 Million pay-per-view buys, the Irish media is reporting Conor McGregor’s historic salary for the event.
As expected Conor McGregor broke $50 Million for his losing effort against Khabib Nurmagomedov. As The Irish Sun reports, the Irish mega-star clocked a flat €50million for the bout.
€50million is equivalent to $57,500,000.00 in U.S. currency.
This makes Conor McGregor’s purse the highest in MMA history.
