The top super PAC backed by President Donald Trump is set to hold a $1 million-per-person fundraiser Saturday, the day before he hosts Ultimate Fighting Championship matches on the White House grounds.
The seven-figure fundraising event will take place at Trump’s golf club in the Washington suburbs, in Northern Virginia, according to four people familiar with the matter. Money raised at the fundraiser will benefit MAGA Inc., which has collected $342 million this election cycle and is expected to play a major role in key races in the upcoming midterm congressional elections.
People familiar with the UFC matches and the fundraiser said they are independent of each other. But a person who has a ticket to the UFC event and plans to attend the fundraiser said that while the two events are separate, “I certainly do not think the timing is coincidence,” in that some of Trump’s well-heeled supporters may go to both.
Tickets for the UFC matches are free, though NBC News reported last month that sponsorship packages, including cageside seats, have been selling for $1 million or more. A person close to the company said that the sponsorship revenue will “help offset UFC’s cost to put on the event” and that none of the money will go to Trump or to his political or private business interests.

It'll go to their shell companies who contract out the work and the contractors will never get paid. It's a known, many decades long pattern.
