Media Cerrone says that "red panty night" wasn't real for him; only got paid his standard purse to fight Conor

[Jon's Drug Dealer]

He said as much before the fight even happened during media week. You'll have to force Goof to pay.

 

[jooohnmatrix]

So he folded like a lawn chair for nothing? I don’t believe it.

 

[pinero]

He is one of the few cases that I think got paid too much to go there and make that clownish fight and declare "I didn't want to be there"

 

[sonofjay817]

Why would it? He's not Conor.

I'm not knowledgable on it, but I was thinking that was pretty standard for all competitors involved in a PPV main event.

 

[Royce's Gi]

He’s probably not going to mention the awesome back room locker bonus he more than likely received for that “fight”

He knew what the deal was and why he was there.

Wonder how big the locker room bonus was!

 

[Neck&Neck]

That’s why Dana loves him so much

 

[GeraltOfRivia]

But how much did he get paid behind closed doors to take a fall?

That’s why he’s smiling and doesn’t have any problem with it at all.

200,000 to main event one of the biggest cards of the year …..embarrassing and criminal

 

[austinblair]

What does one do in the future? Put in the contract…. If I fight a top 5 guy or specifically x fighter I want x money? Could one in theory negotiate that, or no?

What did Nate do? His pay did increase. Maybe he got PPV points?

 

[Trabaho]

That means he also made 200 k vs Moreno, Hernandez and Miller.

And 10 milions in his UFC career. Wirhout ever being champ. But Cowboy did do tons fights.

Beating Conor also means he can renegotiate for a rematch. Nate Diaz became rich cause he beat Conor. Before that he made 30 k. Then isntantly got +2 milion

I'm not knowledgable on it, but I was thinking that was pretty standard for all competitors involved in a PPV main event.

Nah, I remember Carwin saying he made like $40k for fighting Brock

 

[wolfss]

Bulsliht. He took the pay for a dive. Cowboy was an animal. Connor’s style wasn’t a match for cerrone.

 

[ineverpost]

Doesn't cowboy have plenty of family money?

Ufc fighting was never about getting rich. He just likes to fight.

yet says he was mentally checked out for it.
