McGregor is reaping the rewards of his popularity

You've probably heard this being recycled time and time again, but on average, the UFC fighters don't earn nearly enough when it comes to maintaining a stable living.

In addition to the fight bonuses, they can expect anywhere between four and five figures, and whilst that seems like a suitable amount of money, some of them are only fighting for the promotion once or twice a year.

When you compare these figures to the likes of Conor McGregor and Ronda Rousey who are regularly getting seven figure fees, the practice becomes even shadier.

A number of fighters have spoken out about this in addition to the fact that the Reebok deal has further cut their ability to earn a proper living. The fighters’ union, spearheaded by GSP, has also taken up this issue recently.

We conclude with a saga that went on for an extremely long time.
