According to MMA veteran Brendan Schaub, Conor McGregor is the highest underpaid UFC fighter in history, according to a podcast he did at Thiccc Boy. For the main event versus Dustin Poirier. McGregor earned $23 million in addition to a $18 million pay-per-view bonus.
The UFC has a different look thanks to McGregor. He has expertly crafted an image that aligns with his beliefs. He became the UFC’s poster child by starting a trend of people searching for lucrative fights and record-breaking pay-per-view purchases.
McGregor has greatly expanded the MMA sport’s global audience, but in the process, he has also eclipsed both UFC and MMA. Even those who have little knowledge of legendary fighters are fully aware of Conor McGregor.
Conor has even more Instagram followers than the UFC. Many people think that Conor is mostly to blame for the UFC’s recent global attention. The UFC’s net worth as of 2024 is considered to be $7 billion.
The company pays fighters fighting in the undercard, or new fighters less, because their fights generate fewer views, while McGregor, assures a huge mob of audience, waiting to see him get back inside the octagon.
But considering how much the starfighter is getting paid as compared to the UFC network, the claims of Brendan Schaub need to be taken seriously “Nobody Is More Underpaid Than Conor McGregor”. It looks like Dana white’s crafty UFC tricks have tricked Conor McGregor.
