Business is booming

Unsurprisingly, UFC 194 marks good business for Conor McGregor.

The disclosed purses have been revealed for the main event of UFC 194 and the payout could break the million mark.

ESPN’s Brett Okamoto tweeted that McGregor won’t receive a win bonus on top of his disclosed purse should he hand Jose Aldo his first ever loss at featherweight.

The Notorious will receive $500,000 for showing up, while the champion will get a $400,000 to show. However, Scarface will earn an extra $100,000 if he beats McGregor.
