Max Holloway has implored other fighters to get new management if they aren\u2019t making big money out of the UFC\u2019s new broadcast deal.<\/strong><\/p>\n

As a regular pay-per-view headliner during the ESPN era, Holloway headlined his first numbered show on Paramount+ back in March at UFC 326<\/a>. Now, he is set for a massive main event against Conor McGregor<\/a> in Las Vegas and the Irishman reckons his rival will make up to five-times his previous best purse.<\/p>\n

Holloway isn\u2019t quite as brash about his earnings, but promises that he is making more money since the switch away from pay-per-view. That will be put to the test on Saturday night when the pair step into the octagon and we see how many viewers tune in.<\/p>\n
