UFC 196: McGregor vs. Diaz - Page 4

You read it wrong then, cuz theres no chance Jose only made 1 million as the champ on a card that sold over a million ppvs. Jose likely made nearly as much as Conor, in terms of PPV money.
JK

Pretty sure now Conor is banking over 10mln a fight. And pretty sure Jose Aldo got paid a lot less than him and rightfully so, btw.

mcgregor deserves to be the most well paid fighter, he absolutley deserves it
he is exciting to watch both inside the octagon and out of it

that FS1 interview was an absolute trainwreck lol

Jose aldo just told the press:

"I dont know where people get that i made 5 or 10 million, I didnt win that at all, if I had won that I would be smiling from ear to ear,

First of all when a Brazilian fights in the US they take 30%, then over 20% goes to managers plus the Athletic comision, I dont know where they get that we make that much, because if we do, they owe me."

Nate just made Conor flinch @ the weigh-in during the stare down.

via BloodyElbow.com:

"Despite a super-fight with lightweight champion Rafael dos Anjos falling apart, UFC featherweight champion Conor McGregor will make history this weekend after all. He is set to meet Nate Diaz in a highly anticipated welterweight bout at UFC 196 and will become the first ever UFC fighter to make $1,000,000 in a disclosed purse (no win bonus). ESPN's Brett Okamoto first reported the news. The article also notes that McGregor told CNBC that he would make in excess of $10 million just for this fight.

The purses for UFC 196, disclosed by the Nevada State Athletic Commission (NSAC), do not include other earnings including pay-per-view points (which McGregor is receiving), Reebok sponsorship money, post-fight bonuses, "locker room" bonuses, etc.

Nate Diaz is set to make $500,000 to show, with no win bonus. It's definitely a big jump from $16,000 in his loss to Rafael dos Anjos in December 2014.

Also on the card in the evening's co-main event, UFC women's bantamweight champion Holly Holm defends her belt for the first time against Miesha Tate. The Preacher's Daughter's purse is $500,000 to show with no win bonus, and Cupcake's purse is $46,000 to show/$46,000 to win. She received $28,000/$28,000 in her title loss to Ronda Rousey at UFC 168."

Nate Diaz is set to make $500,000 to show, with no win bonus

That would point to him losing again.

So McGregor gained 25lbs and still looks ripped as fuck

My bets for today:

I really want to bet on Nate Diaz but I hate betting on idiots. It makes you feel so ridiculous when you lose.
Like Boetsch vs Henderson.

Thinking Corey Anderson is a lock too. Pretty good odds on him.

Going to follow soberstone on Villante. I think Villante is good, but odn't know anything about Latifi. Which is a sign in itself. Odds too.

I feel like Villante is pretty good just getting over his Urijah Hall stupidity phase and will have a similar career. Hes a little less talented, and at the same time a little less stupid. i think his career trajectory will be very similar, he will cap out lower and lose less in stupid ways.

Those are my only bets. I'm only betting when me and soberstone agree from now on.

Villante is near the end of his UFC career; he definitely hit his peak in skill.

Uriah Hall is stuck somewhere in the middle of his career; he can get better, but he's mentally weak.

It was Anthony Perosh, but his last fight was by the far the most impressive of his career. And it's 205 lbs. I completely disagree with being near the end of his UFC career, he'd have to lose 3 in a row starting with Latifi and then 2 really shitty guys. That said, if Latifi melts him early, I wouldn't be surprised at all. But if it goes past the first round, I expect Villante to be the clearly better fighter.

Would agree Villante has prob hit his peak in skill. Definitely not the first part about end of his UFC career. Even if he loses, he's exciting enough and has at least a decent floor to be kept around in a really thin LHW division for awhile.

BOOM. Ishihara just made me so much money in Draftkings unless I picked terribly in other fights. Decided to really try and do it right this event and have 10 lineups, 7 of which had him in them for $8900.

Taking a small underdog vs a guy with no chin and no defense for a super cheap price seemed obvious. We'll see if a lot of other people did it. Hope not with all the other big names on the card.

"I love you my bitches" :D

The fight going past round 1 won't mean much, imo, as Villante is a known gasser, and he is at a wrestling disadvantage against Latifi.

Villante can win though, but he'll have to use his range. His biggest problem is that he eats too many punches, and then gasses if he goes past 1.5 rounds.
