Daniel Cormier speaks on the financial aspect of Conor McGregor vs. Michael Chandler
After being out of action for nearly three years, Irish superstar Conor McGregor will finally return to the UFC octagon on June 29. He will lock horns against Michael Chandler in a welterweight showdown at UFC 303. The event will be held during the International Fight Week and the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada will serve as the venue.
McGregor is arguably the biggest star in UFC history. So, his return after a three-year hiatus will likely result in high pay-per-view-sales for UFC 303.
UFC commentator and former champion Daniel Cormier recently weighed in on the commercial aspect of the highly anticipated clash. According to 'DC,' Chandler should not be awarded a share of the pay-per-view sales for the event as he would not be the one people would be buying the event for. Cormier said:
"I don't know why you would give pay-per-view points to someone that's not going to drive the sales. And this is not me hating on [Michael]. He's not driving the sales on this one. When you fight Conor McGregor, Conor's driving the sales, he's obviously going to be a big part of the pay-per-view and part of the business."
