According to the reported salaries for UFC 246, Cerrone pocketed $200,000 for this fight. Had he defeated McGregor, he would have earned an additional $200,000, but unfortunately for him, he was defeated in less than a minute.
McGregor, in contrast, earned a flat rate of $3M, and also earned a portion of the pay-per-view revenue.
While this figure is almost certainly overblown, there’s no doubt that he earned more than his disclosed $3M purse, and mountains more than Cerrone’s $200,000 payday.
