Conor McGregor and Jose Aldo are set to battle it out later in one of the UFC world’s most hotly-anticipated fights.
It seems Dubliner McGregor is set to earn a princely sum of $500,000 for simply attending the fight in Las Vegas tonight.
ESPN correspondent Brett Okamoto revealed the figures on Twitter and we’re still gobsmacked.
Per NSAC *disclosed purses*, Conor McGregor is $500k to show, no win at UFC 194. Jose Aldo $400k to show, $100k to win.
