Filed under: News , UFC Former UFC welterweight champion Georges St-Pierre once was the promotion’s biggest pay-per-view draw. But in stating his case for a new fighters association, he made sure to appeal to the biggest star right now: Conor McGregor . “Even though Conor is the most well (paid) athlete, he doesn’t have his fair share of what he should have,” St-Pierre said today during a conference call announcing the newly launched MMA Athletes Association (MMAAA). “And I’m saying this from the top contestant to Conor McGregor, they don’t have their fair share.” The UFC lightweight champion, recently stripped of his featherweight title, broke company records for disclosed pay when he took in $3 million for a rematch with Nate Diaz in August at UFC 202.
