"I put my kitchen on there, I put my ranking, I said I wanted to fight for a million dollars... which hasn't happened yet, but I think we're touching the surface soon."https://twitter.com/SportsJOEdotie/status/838807657091895297 According to the disclosed salaries for the event, McGregor raked in a whopping $3,590,000, which includes his show money, performance bonus and Reebok sponsorship payment. That's not taking into account the pay-per-view points or back-room bonuses he may have received. Alvarez only took home $540,000 between his show money and the sponsorship, but he revealed on Monday's MMA Hour that he got his dream payday of a cool million.
"Yeah, yeah, that's checked off. I'm not any happier of a man because of the way the fight went, but yeah, that's a bucket list checked."Although everything on the old board has been ticked, he's used his time off after fighting McGregor to draw up new goals. He's already achieved a payday that most MMA fighters could only dream of, he's still hungry for more. Losing to McGregor via second round knockout has only added more pangs to that gut.
"I think what happened more than anything was I needed to set more goals. I needed to take this time to sit back and reflect, spend this time with my family and sit down and set some new goals that I can reach for and get excited about." "I was setting goals and I was checking them off one by one. I looked down one day and I had everything that I asked for, so I started to ask for more things."
