The 500k for both mendes/mcG got me thinking. My guess is his 500k is the fight but that he would sign a separate contract to do extra promotion, etc. Then ppv. Is it crazy to think he made 5 million Saturday? 
Maaaaybe 3 but there's no way it's as low as 1. Weren't people thinking that Aldo would lose 3-4 mill for the injury
I'd say a 7 digit number than starts with a 3.
Hard to say accurately what he made until the ppv figures are out.
But if it's anything over 700k buys it's not crazy to think he makes $5m or more 
Pot o gold
UFC loves Conor now but when he's able to negotiate 50% of revenue and a percentage of the gate they might be less supportive.
btfos - if anyone deserves MMA's first 1 million dollar payday it's Connor. Connor is the one who made this show as big as it was. Conor was putting in the work, plus training. No one works harder. Everyone tuned it FOR Conor. Conor BROUGHT this attention to this card/MMA. Conor went out and then delivered with everything on his shoulders. Conor backed it all up. Words cant describe how amazing Conor is. NO amount of pressure ever gets to him. Conor deserves so much. It's actually disappointing to read that Connor only made 500,000. Well.if anything, after this Conor should be getting his baseline pay increaded FAR MORE
Lol at Connor only making 500k or this being the first million dollar payday.
BLAF-AC

The way they've been pushing Conor and really helping his star burn bright is going to burn them come renegotiation time. It'll be the rare negotiation where the UFC has ZERO leverage as Bellator will jump at the chance to pay Conor whatever he wants on the hope his fan base follows him.
Conor is a walking Irish piggy bank at this point.
These big name guys are crazy for having $500k listed as their purse with the Athletic Commissions. All it takes is one thing to happen and they could get fined 10-30% of that shit for something stupid.

Whatever he is making. It's like a hundred times more than any other guy, at any weight class, on the entire roster, that has the same number of fights in the UFC as him.
That boy has got the secret formula for this shit. He is making SERIOUS bank 2 years into his UFC career.
All other fighters, whether they like him or hate him. NEED to fucking pay attention to what he is doing here. This is how you get paid!
TheDecider -It's baffling to realize that you dorks think that ALL of the pay is just the disclosed pay!! Holy shit there are a ton of other ways Conor has made money from this event and the months leading up to the event...btfos - if anyone deserves MMA's first 1 million dollar payday it's Connor.

The real question is how much will he make for the aldo fight now. That will have to be 5 million +
