The boxing world recently witnessed the action-packed Last Crescendo pay-per-view, with many top names on the card. The payout report for all the fighters has come to the fore less than a week after the event, and we can surely say that the promoters did not hesitate in splashing the cash. However, UFC superstar Conor McGregor claims to have surpassed the total payout of the boxing event in his last fight against Dustin Poirier in 2021.
“If accurate, I made more than this entire card’s estimated payout combined in my last outing for the UFC. 2021,” Conor McGregor tweeted after coming across the report of promoters paying a total of $32.1 million to the boxers on the card headlined by the Dmitry Bivol vs Artur Beterbiev rematch. Furthermore, ‘The Notorious’ not only claimed to have made bank for himself but also helped the UFC make a good amount as well. “I garnered record gate, as well as record ppv’s for the company through my service.”

According to reports from 2021 regarding the payouts of UFC 264, the former double champion did walk away as the highest-paid athlete that night, but the sum wasn’t close to $32. million. Instead, it is believed that Conor McGregor had taken home an estimated $23 million, despite his loss to Dustin Poirier.
Regardless, what do you have to say about Conor McGregor’s recent claim?
