Dustin Poirier received this bonus for his KO over Conor McGregor, while Cristiano Ronaldo earns that in this time

UFC world was expectant with Conor McGregor's comeback after two years. His opponent was Dustin Poirier, who was beaten by the Irish by knockouts in 2014. In what many people consider a big surprise McGregor saw himself defeated in the same way he had won seven years ago. Of course, a big fortune will be paid to both.

For his comebacks McGregor was paid $5 million, while his opponent, just $1 million. Despite that Poirier was paid an extra bonus for winning by knockout. Still the price is nothing compared to the cachet that both fighters received for the combat held in Abu Dhabi. both figures will later raise when the PPV revenue is shared with them.

32-year-old Poirier will receive just $50,000 for his knockout hit over McGregor in midway through the second of the five scheduled rounds. He was dominated by the Irish in the first one, but as the defeated recognized, Poirier’s good and accurate low kicks turned the combat in his favor.

Comparisons are always over the table in terms of salaries and income. It was reported Cristiano Ronaldo earns €31 million per year, which would represent $37.8 million. That means $103,506 per day. So, in half a day, he will earn what Poirier was paid for a knockout.
