UFC president Dana White has responded to Conor McGregor 's boast about the sales of his UFC 257 pay-per-view earlier this year.
McGregor shared an official document showing the sales of the event on Wednesday. It shows the exact buys for the card at 1,504,737, slightly less than the projected 1.6 million reported for the event earlier this year.
The Irishman also boasted it's one of several times he's grossed the UFC over $100 million in one night, taking credit for their $4.2 billion sale of the company to Endeavour in 2016.
McGregor is currently sidelined after breaking his foot at UFC 264 in his trilogy fight against Dustin Poirier.
And speaking to reporters after Tuesday night's Contender Series White said he wasn't bothered by McGregor sharing the official document.
He said: "I don't really give a s*** anymore. Listen, you guys all know that Conor is making truckloads of money.
"He's doing well. Most of the pay-per-views that come out are close or in the ballpark of what they are, so no real big secrets out there."
McGregor has been involved in all of the top five highest selling UFC pay-per-view events, with UFC 257 sitting at the No.4 spot.
This week marked three years since McGregor fought rival Khabib Nurmagomedov at UFC 229, with that event currently selling the most PPV buys in UFC history at 2.4 million.

The UFC stopped releasing fighter purses and official PPV buys several years ago and White said he isn't bothered if fighters decide to take their financial figures public.
He continued: "Listen, I told you the fighter pay thing doesn't matter to me. If these guys wanna let you know that they make...I mean you guys asked [Kevin] Holland the other day. He said people were hitting him up for money, after I said it.
"Most of the fighters want an LOA, they don't want people to know how much they make and you can imagine why they don't. People start coming out of the woodwork and looking for money when they think you've got it.
"I think everybody likes the old 'oh the poor UFC fighters don't make any money', cause then nobody's asking them for money."
And McGregor could return to the cage by the end of the year despite fears he would be sidelined until the summer of next year.
He told Adam Glyn last month: "Still a long way to go, I don’t want to get too ahead of myself. Like I said, I could kick right now but I’m not advised to kick yet but I’m going to get back man.
"Do you think a broken leg is going to stop me? Think again.”
