Bringing you the weird and wild from the world of MMA each and every weeknight

Getting yourself a sponsorship spot on Mayweather’s butt will cost you three million. Featured on his walkout cap? A cool $500,000 dollars. The article also threw out a few other impressive statistics:

Mayweather’s reach as the undisputed pay per view fight king is undeniable, the defensive genius having generated approximately 19.5 million pay per view buys for his fights which have grossed $41.3 billion in revenue over the course of his career.

The key to Mayweather’s insane earnings was becoming his own promoter; in mixed martial arts, the world’s most dominant promoter, the UFC, takes the lion’s share of the earnings, most estimates putting their cut at over 80% of gross revenue. That leaves precious little for the fighters, which is why McGregor holds the record for highest UFC purse at only 3 million disclosed dollars (plus an undisclosed cut of pay-per-view revenue). Mayweather laughed at an offer for 25 million in base pay from Dana White when White was first talking about making Mayweather-McGregor.

This is the reason McGregor is so focused on bringing his own company, McGregor Promotions, to fruition. By changing the rules for how his fights are promoted, McGregor can continue his trend of breaking into a completely different earnings bracket, one he will kick off with an estimated $100 million dollars for this Mayweather bout.

A reminder about Mayweather and these 8-oz gloves everyone was making such a big deal about

Today was the day all the matchups got announced, and they are cracking matchups indeed.

The statistics look pretty divided but according to this sample Cody has the huge edge in power and accuracy, though Dillashaw keeps a much faster pace

Subba is the argument for soccer kicks. Arguably less damage than what it would have taken to stop his opponents in both cases.

We go from painful to cute to finish out the night

Sriracha is our special needs foster kitten. She has a neurological disorder called CH. Feline cerebellar hypoplasia is a non-progressive, non-contagious neurological condition that results in walking and balance problems. Sriracha has also experienced seizures due to her condition. The last two days have been HORRIBLE. She has had two seizures. Usually when this happens, she becomes slightly “off” for a few days. Batman is our rescued orphan piglet. He is less than two weeks old now. He has been extra attached to Sriracha today. I swear he knows she has had a bad couple of days and feels the need to comfort her. This is why I do what I do. This is why my entire life is dedicated to the animals. They are the most beautiful things on this planet.
