One of the underlying reasons why Conor McGregor is the most called out fighters in the UFC is because of the perceived guaranteed big payday. Donald Cerrone, however, does not see it that way.
Especially with the new pay-per-view system in place, “Cowboy” says fighting McGregor is not as lucrative as many would think.
“I don’t know about this payday talk,” Cerrone said during Thursday’s media day (via MMA Junkie). “Everyone thinks you fight Conor, you get paid. We’re under contract, man. Now with the ESPN thing, the pay-per-view buys are already done. It’s not like we get – so it’s a big misconception.
