Georges St-Pierre: UFC profit margin is so high, even Conor McGregor is getting screwed out of revenue

Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) featherweight and lightweight champion Conor McGregor made $3 million for his Nate Diaz rematch at the UFC 202 pay-per-view (PPV) back in August, and likely made even more for his Eddie Alvarez title fight in New York.

Not too shabby for someone who is treated unfairly by the promotion.

That’s according to former UFC welterweight champion Georges St-Pierre, who joined former Bellator boss Bjorn Rebney and a handful of other UFC stars to launch the Mixed Martial Arts Athletes Association (MMAAA). The purpose of the organization is to change the way UFC treats its talent.
