UFC 194 (Aldo vs. McGregor) - $10,006,249
UFC 196 (McGregor vs. Diaz) - $8,100,000 (approx.)
UFC 189 (McGregor vs. Mendes) - $7,201,648
UFC 148 (Silva vs. Sonnen II) - $6,901,655
UFC 168 (Weidman vs. Silva II) - $6,238,792.50

For the record, the biggest gate in UFC history is $12 million for UFC 129: GSP vs. Shields back in 2011 in Toronto's Rogers Centre. UFC 193: Rousey vs. Holm did a live gate of $6.8 million US (the show was in Melbourne, Australia).

How do McGregor's last three fights stack up to boxing gates in Nevada? Well let's have a look-see...

Aldo vs. McGregor would be 22nd highest behind last year's Floyd Mayweather vs. Andre Berto ($10,062,500) but ahead of Mayweather vs. Robert Guerrero (2013, $9,922,350).

McGregor vs. Diaz is 30th behind Manny Pacquiao vs. Ricky Hatton (2009, $8,832,950) but ahead of the 2014 rematch between Pacquiao and Timothy Bradley ($7,865,100).

Lastly, McGregor vs. Mendes would place 35th behind Felix Trinidad vs. David Reid (2000, $7,329,500) but higher than Mike Tyson's 1999 win over Frans Botha ($7,055,800).

I don't need your money. I gauge the amount of truth I speak by the number of rainbows I receive. The more rainbows, the more truth I speak and the more feelings I hurt.
Cmon Richie rich. Seeing as you got it like that, I'm giving you the chance of a lifetime to back up your word as a man for the low risk/reward of 20-1

honestly, that is sad as fuck, and it says a lot about the fans of MMA.
says more about the disrespect that the Ufc has for Irish fans, they literally are 1/2 the crowd from my experience at 189. The UFC knows they are hungry for mma and a national hero. And in response the ufc doubles ticket prices and gouges them for every penny they have 3 times a year.

Is this why you gave me like 7 rainbow this thread?

Check my posts, son. I have an undefeated record in telling it like it is.
Undefeated - 1

Maybe this is the problem. You clinging on to your undefeated record.

Just M.A.N. up hommie and admit you were talkin out yo ass cuz yo red panties r in a bunch. Regain yo respect instead of dishing out rainbows like a bitch. (I'm not saying you're a bitch, I'm saying this is what bitches do.)

You already know.
