The UFC anti-trust lawsuit has produced a fascinating look into the likely pay of its top stars, including Conor McGregor, Ronda Rousey, Jon Jones, Georges St-Pierre and more, between 2011-2016.

Summary: Pay is weighted towards the top guys who earned decent money. McGregor e.g. earned about $25 million in the revealed time period of 2011 to 2016. The stars in their prime days earned about 3-5 million per fight.
What I found interesting besides that is that the McGregor effect seems to be real: Jose Aldo earned ~10 times as much in his fight against McGregor than in his other two fights with revealed payouts.
