The current gate record for a combat sport event at MSG was set by a boxing match between Lennox Lewis and Evander Holyfield back in the '90s which brought in a gate of $13.5 million. If UFC 205 does in fact surpass this number, then it will also beat the current UFC gate record of $12,075,000 from UFC 129 in Toronto which was held at the Rogers Centre in front of 55,724 people. It's clear that McGregor is a significant factor in selling this event and this among other things, makes him worth the occasional headache to the UFC top brass. "He's a little tough to deal with, but he's worth it," White said. "All the other antics and everything aside, Conor McGregor will step up and fight anybody, anywhere, any time. "I've never been in a situation where somebody pulls out the week before a fight and he literally does not care who he fights." Catch up with the latest episode of Football Friday Live
