Conor McGregor now says he outsells everyone. In his biggest fight, Floyd Mayweather was guaranteed $100 million. Conor was guaranteed $30 million. Conor just claimed he sells more than Canelo and every other fighter, maybe all of them put together. That has fans digging up the 2017 press tour again. July 2017, a few weeks before Mayweather vs. McGregor. Floyd reaches into his stuff and pulls out a check. A $100 million check. "Let me show you what a hundred million… look like." Conor didn't flinch. He went right after Floyd's tax problems. The way he told it, that check was headed straight to the tax man. The crowd loved it. Then the Nevada commission put out the actual numbers. Floyd's guarantee: $100 million. Conor's guarantee: $30 million. That's a $70 million gap. Floyd's number was more than 3 times Conor's. Put another way, Conor was guaranteed 30 cents for every dollar promised to Floyd. The guy laughing at the check had the smaller check. Now he's the one saying nobody sells like him. Watch Floyd wave it around. Was Conor the real draw, or did Floyd get paid like it for a reason?

Bill Belichick paid a $500,000 NFL fine out of his own pocket over Spygate. He still says it was a misreading, not cheating. With Belichick, 74, reportedly opening up on Instagram about what ended things with 25-year-old Jordon Hudson, his old interviews are getting pulled back up. This one is from May 2008, on CBS's Eye to Eye. The first time he answered the Spygate claims himself. The NFL had hit him with a record $500,000 fine for a coach. The Patriots paid another $250,000 and lost a first-round pick. That's $750,000 total, and his personal share was double the team's. Armen Keteyian read him the September 2006 memo: videotaping signals "is prohibited on the sidelines… during the game." "That seems pretty crystal clear, Bill." His answer: "It says during the game, but it does not say during the playing of the game." Keteyian pushed: some would call it "flat-out cheating." Belichick pointed to the league's constitution and bylaws. "I interpreted it incorrectly. So I was wrong." Unfair penalty? "It wasn't my penalty. It was the commissioner's decision." And his best defense: "If that was our intent, then we would have done it in a more discreet way. We were open about it." Hear him explain it. An honest misread, or a $500,000 gamble that got caught?

Charles Barkley says he lost $1 million in a single day at the casinos somewhere between 10 and 20 times. With Ernie Johnson announcing this is his last season on Inside the NBA, Chuck's 25 years next to him have fans digging up old Charles clips. This one is from his 2014 sit-down with Graham Bensinger. He starts with the good news. "I've won a million dollars probably four or five times." In a single day. Then the other side. "But I've lost a lot more millions in a single day." How many? First he guesses "at least 10 to 15." Then he raises it. "I've lost a million, somewhere between 10 and 20." Why no exact count? "Because we're going back to the 80s." Do the math: $10 million to $20 million gone on his worst days alone. Against 5 or 6 winning days, that's up to 4 losing days for every win. Did it get out of hand? "Yeah, no question it's gotten out of hand." He quit for about two years. Then one night his friends gave him their diagnosis. "Gambler's not your problem. You're just an idiot." Hear what Charles said back. A gambling problem, or just an idiot with a lot of money?

Ryan Reynolds spent 11 years trying to get Fox to make Deadpool. It grossed $782 million, and it only happened because the test footage "accidentally" leaked. With Reynolds turning 50, his 2016 Tonight Show story with Jimmy Fallon is making the rounds again. He called the project "the worst relationship I've ever been in. On again, off again." The script was written six years before that interview. It leaked online, and Deadpool fans "went nuts for it." So Fox gave them "a small amount of money" to shoot test footage. Then it "sat on the shelf for four years, as it does. They didn't do anything with it." A little under two years before the interview, that footage hit the internet. "The fans freaked out… and overwhelmed Fox, and Fox basically had to greenlight the movie." Even then, the studio cut $7 million from the budget, leaving about $58 million. The movie made $782 million, more than 13 times that. The catch: Fox owned the footage. Leaking it was "sort of illegal." Only 4 people had it: Reynolds, writers Rhett Reese and Paul Wernick, and director Tim Miller. "I know that one of us did it." He says he's only 70% sure it wasn't him. Watch him dodge the question. Was Fox playing it safe, or did it almost leave a $782 million hit on the shelf?

Ric Flair owed the IRS $230,000 in 1992. Vince McMahon covered it after one phone call. With Flair back at the same bar where he fell and ended up in the hospital days earlier, his old Valuetainment interview is making the rounds again. In 1992, he was in Tokyo. He couldn't sleep. "I was drinking myself to death." So he called his boss with one question: "Can I have 230 grand?" Vince said yes. The IRS got paid. Then came 2005 and the divorce. Vince lent him $800,000, paid out bit by bit over three years. That's roughly $267,000 a year, to "pay the lawyer, pay my ex-wife to live." In total, that's more than $1 million going from Vince to one wrestler. The line that stuck with the loan: "I wouldn't lend my own son this damn money." Then Vince offered him an out: "If you want to go upside down, I won't hold it against you." Flair says he didn't take it. "I paid him back every time… So I'll pat myself on the back for that." He was 40 when he came to Vince, and he says he brought "a lot of talent" and was "easy to get along with." Years later, when Flair was sick, Vince FaceTimed him and called his wife Wendy every day. Hear him tell it. Loyal boss, or a legend who should never have needed a $1 million lifeline?

Mase says Bad Boy paid him $20,000 for the rights to his songs. Years later, Diddy went on The Breakfast Club and said Mase owed him $3 million. Diddy said it was an advance for a second album that never came out. He also called Mase a "fake pastor." Mase says he once offered $2 million to buy his songs back, and Diddy said no. Diddy never confirmed that. In the video below, Diddy says he did one album with Mase and asks how much he could possibly owe him. Then: "That's facts. I got the receipt." Mase denied the debt. No lawsuit or payment over the $3 million was ever made public. Then in 2023, Diddy gave the song rights back to Mase, along with Faith Evans, The LOX, 112 and the Notorious B.I.G. estate. No price was reported. Now Diddy is in federal prison. Mase says: "I probably should be the first person he talks to." Who owed whom: Mase or Diddy?

Tyler Perry was living out of his car in 1992. Today ViacomCBS pays him $150 million a year for new content. The car came first. He had put his life savings into his first play, I Know I've Been Changed. On opening night, nobody was in the audience. He didn't shut it down. He designed the set, made the programs, hung the lights, and sold snacks at intermission. By 1998 the play was on tour. It ran until 2000. He rolled the profits into a second play, booked for just five cities. Then audiences met Madea, played by Perry himself. Before he had a single TV show or movie, the stage brought him more than $150 million: $100 million in tickets, $20 million in merchandise, $30 million in performance videos. That's what ViacomCBS now pays him in one year. In 2001 Oprah invited him on her show. Backstage, she told him the secret to her success. Two words. He used his own money again on his first Hollywood movie. Critics hated it. Diary of a Mad Black Woman opened at number one with nearly $22 million. The 11 Madea movies grossed more than $670 million. Perry kept $290 million in profit. He owns all of it: 1,200+ TV episodes, 22 feature films, at least two dozen plays, and a 330-acre studio in Atlanta. Oprah's two words were "own everything." The video shows how he got from an empty theater to that. Would you take the studio's check, or keep the rights and sleep in the car?

Matthew McConaughey hadn't worked in 18 months when he turned down $14.5 million for one movie. And that wasn't even the first number on the table. A romantic action comedy. $8 million. No. $10 million. No. $12 million. No. Then $14.5 million. He'd dug that hole on purpose. He'd been chasing dramas, even offering "huge pay cuts." Hollywood's answer: "Stay in your lane, McConaughey. You're the rom-com guy." So he called his agent. No more rom-coms. "Let the town know." He went quiet on his Texas ranch. Camilla was pregnant. She told him: "This is non-negotiable. We're not going back." A year went by. Nothing. His agent: "Matthew, I haven't even heard your name in six months." He started picturing other lives. Schoolteacher. Wildlife guide. Back to law school. "I may have just wrote myself a one-way ticket out of Hollywood." Then the $14.5 million version arrived, and he read the script again. "Same words as the $8 million offer, but it was better. It was funnier." Same script. Bigger check. Suddenly funnier. He still said no. He says that no sent Hollywood a message: "McConaughey's not bluffing." "He's playing offense." Two months later, the roles he wanted came "in droves." Killer Joe. Mud. True Detective. Dallas Buyers Club. Magic Mike. Total time to unbrand: 20 months. Hear him tell it on Graham Norton. He offered pay cuts to get dramas. He refused $14.5 million to wait for them. What would you turn down $14.5 million for?

Arnold Schwarzenegger spent 25 years with Maria Shriver. The thing he calls his "biggest mistake" isn't the affair. They married in 1986. He fathered a child with their housekeeper. That son, Joseph, is now 25. The divorce was finalized in 2021. Arnold calls it a failure and says the marriage was his mess-up. The beginning was "very, very difficult." Shriver later sought solace in a convent. Today they spend holidays together as a family. He has a girlfriend, Heather Milligan, and says he doesn't miss being married. So what did he name as his biggest mistake? In 2015 he told Howard Stern he felt to blame for the divorce. Then he named the decision to go to marriage counseling. He said it was counterproductive to their future. 25 years, a secret son, and the regret he chose is therapy. Honest hindsight, or the easiest mistake to admit?
