"It should be $120!"Those figures are in line with how much fans splashed out for the previous 'Fight of the Century' between Mayweather and Manny Pacquaio two years ago. Mayweather was reported to have made $220m from that fight, which he won on a unanimous points decision. https://youtu.be/1X69PYmZnvU UFC president Dana White has confidently predicted McGregor-Mayweather will take in excess of five million pay-per-views, which would mean both fighters are set for nine-figure pay days. Fans of the UFC would regularly pay between $50 and $60 for a PPV event but White believes the $90 start-off fee is justified. White said:
"When you talk about superfights, this is a superfight – two different guys from two different sports going in and putting it on the line. "Obviously, you can’t charge what you would normally charge for a pay-per-view... it’s the biggest fight ever in the history of pay-per-view."We will post details of the PPV options in Ireland and the UK when we have it.
