If Conor McGregor is truly off the UFC 200 pay-per-view card, then UFC President Dana White is making a costly mistake.
The flamboyant Irishman has made it no secret that his fighting and promotional skills are worth a whole lot of greenbacks to his employer, which is why it's no surprise White could be leaving $45 million on the table by keeping McGregor off the card.
According to ESPN's Darren Rovell, when you take PPV buys, ticket sales and a fight week fan fest into account, that's a rough number of dollars White and Co. will be leaving behind.
McGregor, the UFC featherweight champion, was originally penned to face Nate Diaz in a welterweight rematch on the July 9 show.
To put his outrageous worth into perspective even more, McGregor's last three fights are the top three gate-revenue card in Nevada's history.
