well, something they didn't mention-obviously is the money spent on PED and painkillers

I don't see where they come up with $500 on insurance-no insurance company is going to sell you a decent plan without a huge deductible

They used to make money on sponsors till the reebok deal. I'm sure Connors contract includes PPV points meaning he gets a cut in the revenue. He was guaranteed $10 million for UFC 200. genreally speaking though MMA athletes are terribly underpaid !

10 million in comparison to Floyd is nothing as presser mentioned. Floods easily made upwards of 100 mill in one night with sponsors and PPV points included
