Conor McGregor Net Worth: UFC Star's Earnings, PPV Sales Could Land Him Big Payday Against Floyd Mayweather

The biggest holdup in making the boxing match between Conor McGregor and Floyd Mayweather a reality appears to be money. Both fighters are looking to make nine-figure paydays for what would undoubtedly become one of the highest-selling pay-per-views in history. Mayweather wants a guaranteed paycheck of $100 million to come out of retirement, and there is a precedent for the boxer earning such a large purse. It's how much he was paid to face Manny Pacquiao in 2015, and he eventually made more than twice that amount after receiving a cut of the PPV revenue. McGregor has asked for a $100 million payday, as well, but Mayweather isn't ready to agree to those terms. While McGregor is the UFC's biggest star, he's never had a purse of more than $3 million or even come close to approaching a nine-figure payday when factoring in his cut of the PPV revenue.
