is Conor too rich for the UFC?

The amount of money he just earned from Floyd makes it hard to get back to that 3m base salary.

It' been reported that they are trying to negotiate with him but I believe his base will have to go up to 5m plus ppv on top.
 
To rich to make money? That's a new one.
No it can be true.

Say a fighter making $5K and $5K with the UFC wins $250MM in the lottery. He may continue to fight for fun, if that is his thing, but he is unlikely to keep fighting for the money. He is so rich that the prize money in relation does not move the needle and holds little motivation for him.

Even though Conor gets really good PPV money he might not see it as changing his life or moving the needle as he can by whatever he wants today. You could say the same for Nick Diaz between big money fights.

Of course if/when these guys go broke they then tend to come back.

Conors a rich man now and he will demand big money to step into the cage again.
