Conor McGregor and Dana White truly do go together like peanut butter and jelly. You see, Dana has always considered Conor McGregor to be his golden boy as Conor has done pay-per-view buys not seen by many stars before or during him have done. The numbers truly do speak for themselves and Conor McGregor is not one to shy away from showing just how much money is being brought in….TJ Dillashaw Calls Out ‘Rigged’ UFC Title Win.
Via Conor McGregor’s Twitter, he stated the following: “Endeavors (the parent company to the UFC) half year turnover announced! $1.1bn. Incredible! Huge congrats to all! 2 fights it took me. Would have loved to keep it going to round out the year but this setback is just the launch pad for my major comeback!! Almost 6 weeks over surgery now! Wow!”
Overall revenue for Endeavor increased to $1.1 billion in the second quarter, which is up from $650 million from the same time last year. The company still reported a net loss of $319.6 million with $869.8 million in cash on hand at the end of the quarter.
Endeavor CEO Ariel Emanuel stated: “Despite continued challenges brought on by the pandemic, our company once again demonstrated resilience, due in large part to our global portfolio of premium assets and the creativity of our employees and partners.”
It should be noted that this hits at a time where stars such as Jake Paul and Dustin Poirier are speaking out about pay issues within the UFC and MMA scene. Jake feels that Conor doesn’t make enough money and neither do any UFC stars. Dustin stated recently that his last paycheck was his first full paycheck as he took out McGregor.
