Before Conor McGregor fights again for UFC, he doesn’t just want a paycheck—he wants an investment.
“They’ve got to entice me now because I came from a billion dollar fight,” McGregor told reporters Wednesday in Dublin at the premiere of his documentary. “They’ve got to entice me. I want equity. I want ownership. I want to be a true partner, similar in the way I was in the Floyd fight. I was a promoter and I was a fighter, and that must continue for me to continue.”
McGregor’s haul for his one-off gimmick fight against Floyd Mayweather—about $100 million—more than doubled what he made three fights for UFC in 2016.
