TEMPO.CO , Jakarta - Duel Conor McGergor vs Donald Cerrone akhir pekan ini diklaim bakal menghasilkan US$ 80 juta. Jumlah itu setara Rp 1,1 triliun. McGregor akan melakoni duel di kelas welter non gelar sebanyak 3 ronde melawan petarung MMA veteran asal AS, Cerrone. Duel itu dikemas dalam pergelaran UFC 246, yang akan dihelat di MGM Grand Garden Arena, Las Vegas pada Sabtu malam 18 Januari 2020 atau Minggu pagi di Indonesia. Jumlah bayaran yang disebutkan bintang MMA asal Irlandia itu mengejutkan, sebab UFC sebagai promotor pernah menyatakan bahwa McGregor akan menerima US$ 5 juta atau sekitar Rp 68 miliar dari duel kontra Cerrone. “Saya sangat yakin duel lawan Donald akan mendatangkan uang yang sangat besar. Mungkin akan menjadi yang terbesar dalam sejarah MMA di dunia,” kata McGregor dalam wawancara dengan ESPN.
“Yah, sebutlah angkanya bakal mencapai US$ 80 juta. Saya perkirakan sebesar itu,” lanjut McGregor. Besaran angka yang mencapai Rp 1 triliun itu disebutkan tak hanya dari bayaran duel. McGregor akan memdapatkan persentase dari penjualan siaran televisi bayar per tayang, sponsor, penjualan cendera mata, dan pos-pos pemasukan lain seperti hunian hotel dan pasar taruhan. McGregor bahkan mengklaim bahwa uang yang dia terima dari duel lawan Cerrone lebih besar dari saat menghadapi Khabib Nurmagomedov. McGregor menyebutkan bahwa dia mendapatkan pemasukan total US$ 50 juta atau Rp 683 miliar dari duel UFC 229 kontra Khabib di Las Vegas yang digelar 6 Oktober 2018. Donald Cerrone sendiri disebutkan bakal dibayar US$ 2 juta, atau sekitar Rp 27,3 miliar dari duel kontra Conor McGregor. Jumlah tersebut menjadi rekor bayaran bagi Cerrone, yang dijuluki Cowboy.

LAS VEGAS — The first punch Conor McGregor landed bloodied Donald Cerrone’s nose. The former two-division champion, in his first bout since October 2018, landed a sharp right jab that sneaked between Cerrone’s gloves.
Seconds later came the left-footed kick to the jaw that sent Cerrone, a fearless 36-year-old veteran, reeling.
And then the punches rained down from McGregor as Cerrone sagged to the canvas, the bleeding speeding up. The throttling didn’t stop until the referee, Herb Dean, stepped in to save Cerrone, halting the main event of U.F.C. 246 after just 40 seconds on Saturday night.
