Fight fans have reacted online since the pay leak.
One said: ‘Conor McGregor changed the game financially!
Still feels like UFC didn’t pay him enough for the money he generated.’
Another replied: ‘There seemed to be some thought out there that UFC pay was good at the top-level. This contradicts that massively. In fact, you’d probably argue that Conor McGregor is the most underpaid fighter in MMA history.’
A third commented: ‘Dana White has f***** it. Something needs to change at the UFC regarding fighters pay.’
