Naturally, being the biggest name in the company at the time, McGregor featured heavily in the report, with five of his UFC fight purses revealing that he earned a staggering $25 million.

In July 2015, McGregor headlined his first UFC pay-per-view event against Chad Mendes following the withdrawal of Jose Aldo.
He stopped Mendes to win the interim UFC featherweight title and pocketed $3,285,000, which included a discretionary bonus of $2.11 million.
For his high-profile grudge match against Aldo, McGregor earned $4,476,662 or $4,536,932, with the Brazilian earning $2,377,699.
He collected $5,576,315 when he suffered a shock submission defeat to Nate Diaz before bagging $5,615,490 for the rematch, which he won.
Diaz, meanwhile, netted 2,838,158 before bagging $4,315,490 for the second meeting.
McGregor made a swift return to action after avenging his defeat to Diaz by headlining UFC's debut show in New York City, New York, where he fought for the UFC lightweight title.
He stopped Eddie Alvarez in the second round to become a two-weight UFC champion, making $6,812,374 in the process.
