The partial statement shows that the UFC projected UFC 257 to net 1.5 million buys, with the actual number coming in at 1.504.737 million. The post does not reveal the corresponding bonus amount paid to McGregor, but it appears it would have been a few bucks.
Relax after training. Happy Monday everyone! Remember we must take care of ourself first in order to increase the chance of being able to then take care of others. You cannot take care of anyone truly, if you too, are not at your best. You want to help someone?

McGregor’s bouts with Nate Diaz at UFC 196 and UFC 202, his title fight with then lightweight champion Khabib Nurmagomedov at UFC 229 and in boxing, the Money Fight with boxing star Floyd Mayweather, are amoung the top grossing pay-per-views of all time.
McGregor is currently recovering from injuries sustained in his rubber match loss to Poirier at UFC 264.
