He said he made 8.8, not that the ufc paid him 8.8

I see you Chael

He made 8.8.... BETTING AGAINST HIMSELF

Chael had the record, for the higgest payday on UFC history until Connor arrive. Less than 15 fighters have earn more than a million for just one fight, in the UFC.

I went to that PPV in Vegas. UFC148. I was 6 rows from the very top of the MGM Grand and my ticket was $550 The gate must have been decent alone not including the PPV dollars.
I was so far from the octagon that I turned around and watched the show on the big screen 30ft behind me.
Best time ever. The Budweiser rep for the SW United States was in the seat next to me. He had NON-STOP trays of 24oz beers brought to our row for the whole 6 hour event. I almost had to literally crawl back to my hotel. BEST NIGHT EVER!!!

Notice that Chael said that Brian Was a good friend of his!

[stadiondude]

Haha, he admits to taking a dive for the sake of trolling.. went right over their heads.

[limyohwan]

It did 1 mill buys which means ppv total was 55 mill. I don't see how 9 million is not possible.

[robgoins]

Sigma male betting on his own lose still makes him undefeated.

[irrelevantideology]

he DEFINITELY made more than what he said. guaranteed.

[alexanderpal]

You all get what he is saying right? Chael is smart

[AndysAviary]

they werent quick enough to get what Chael was low-key leading them...

Years later, he’s now saying Floyd could’ve never made as much as he said he did

[irockuroll]

No one’s realizes Chael owns the cable company in west Lynn Oregon. Err one in Clackamas County bought that pay per view and chael got paid.

[Somber_Serenade]

Imagine betting on your own fight for you to win, baller as fuck

[marquiseallison]

It I just watched a clip of him saying Floyd didn’t make 130 mil in one night…

[davidpoe]

The level of protection these people must have. I’ve heard of people getting robbed for having a few thousand in the bank

[grizzlycountry]

Only one getting rich in ufc is dana white.
