Who is Conor McGregor

Conor Anthony McGregor was born on July 14, 1988, in Dublin, Ireland. His journey in combat sports began at a young age when he started boxing. McGregor’s transition to mixed martial arts (MMA) marked the beginning of a remarkable career that would redefine the sport.

McGregor’s rise to fame reached new heights when he joined the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) in 2013. His charisma, unapologetic confidence, and unparalleled skills inside the cage quickly made him a fan favorite. McGregor’s knack for predicting his victories, coupled with his sharp tongue, turned each of his fights into a must-watch spectacle.

One of the pivotal moments in McGregor’s career came in 2015 when he defeated José Aldo in just 13 seconds to become the UFC Featherweight Champion. This victory catapulted him into superstardom and set the stage for his financial ascension.

More on each of these events later in this article below. As of this writing, we estimate his career earnings from fighting at $235 million. Keep reading for a complete breakdown of every Conor McGregor payday. But one quick note: According to documents released in an antitrust lawsuit against the UFC in November 2023, Conor earned a TOTAL of $25 million from his UFC fights between 2015 and 2016. Between June 2018 and June 2019, Conor earned $47 million from salary, purses and endorsements.

Conor McGregor made his MMA debut in 2007 at the age of 18. He won the amateur fight by TKO (technical knockout) in the first round and professional after that fight. McGregor made his professional MMA debut in March 2008 in the lightweight division. His first fight was against Gary Morris. He won with a TKO in the second round. McGregor then went on to win his second fight before moving to the featherweight division and suffering his first loss. After that loss, McGregor briefly considered pursuing a different career path. However, his coach convinced him to stick with MMA.

In 2013, Dana White took a trip to Dublin and was swamped with people telling him he had to sign a local fighter named Conor McGregor to the UFC. White met with McGregor, conferred with then-UFC CEO Lorenzo Fertitta, and signed McGregor to the UFC a few days later. McGregor made his UFC debut on April 6, 2013 against Marcus Brimage. McGregor initially struggled against his excessively aggressive opponent. He strategically realized that he could deliver a snap kick to Brimage’s chest and chin. McGregor won the bout via knockout a bit more than one minute into the first round. In August 2013, McGregor took on Max Holloway. He won that fight by unanimous decision. Unfortunately, McGregor also tore his ACL in that match. That injury kept him out of the ring for 10 months. McGregor returned to the UFC in 2014 and won a number of fights. He was a rising star in the sport and Fertitta signed him to a new multi-fight contract. He would go on to become arguably the biggest star in UFC history.

Conor McGregor’s Biggest UFC Paydays

On July 11, 2015, Conor earned $3.285 million when he defeated Chad Mendes at UFC 189. On December 11th, 2015, Conor earned $4.5 million defeating Jose Aldo in 13 seconds. On March 5, 2016, Conor reportedly earned $5.6 million when he fought Nate Diaz at UFC 196. He reportedly earned another $5.6 million when he fought Nate Diaz again at UFC 202. He earned around $7 million fighting Eddie Alvarez, in November 2016.

Conor reportedly earned an estimated $50 million fighting Khabib Nurmagomedov in October 2018.

On January 18, 2020 Conor defeated Donald “Cowboy” Cerrone in his much anticipated return to the UFC. Conor was guaranteed $5 million for the fight, a record for the UFC up to that point. He has intimated in interviews that if Pay Per View sales go well, his earnings from the Cerrone fight could conceivably top $80 million. Cerrone was guaranteed $2 million to show up.

On January 23, 2021, Conor lost to Dustin Poirier. Once again Conor was guaranteed $5 million. The loss effectively cost Conor an enormous future payday by killing another match against Khabib Nurmagomedov.

Floyd Mayweather Fight Earnings

On August 26, 2017, Conor switched from the MMA cage to a boxing ring when he faced off against undefeated champion Floyd Mayweather. The fight was one of the most lucrative PPV events of all time generating 4.3 million buys.

Conor was guaranteed $30 million for the fight. With PPV bonuses, merch sales and other earnings, Conor’s total gross take from the fight topped $100 million. Thanks largely to the hype produced by this fight, Conor was also able to earn around $14 million in 2017 thanks to endorsements with companies like Burger King, Beats by Dre, Anheuser-Busch and more.

If you assume Conor lost around 50% of his earnings to taxes, $100 million gross earnings left him with a net worth of $85 million after the Floyd fight.

Had Conor (against all odds) beaten Mayweather, it would have set up a rematch where Conor could have earned another absolutely massive payday. It wouldn’t be unreasonable to assume that he would have been able to demand a minimum of 50% of revenue from a future fight. That would theoretically have resulted in a $200-$300 million payday.

On September 20, 2018, Conor announced that he had signed an 8-fight deal with the UFC. The terms of the deal were not revealed but it’s likely that it’s worth at least $200 million on the very low end.

$600 Million Whiskey Company Sale

In September of 2018, McGregor launched the Proper No. Twelve Irish whiskey brand in Ireland and the United States. Before they launched, the partners brought on liquor company Proximo Spirits as a 20% equity partner. Proximo is best known for owning Jose Cuervo tequila.

In mid-2020 Proximo paid $250 million to increase its ownership stake to 49%.

In April 2021, McGregor and his business partners sold their remaining combined 51% stake in Proper No. Twelve to Proximo Spirits. The total value of the deal could ultimately be $600 million, and that number includes the $250 million that the three founders had earned in the previous year from the previously-mentioned deal with Proximo.

All-in, if every milestone is met over the long-term”, Conor will have made $200 million in total from Proper No. Twelve.

Ultimate Fighting Championship

In February 2013, Conor McGregor was officially signed to the UFC.

At the time, he was only the second Irish fighter to have signed with the organization; with his teammate and friend, Tom Egan, being the first.

In April 2013, McGregor made his UFC Featherweight debut against Marcus Brimage, winning by technical knockout in the 1st round, and receiving his first “Knockout of the Night” bonus.

During the post-fight speech, McGregor took the microphone and addressed Dana White with the now-famous quote: “Dana, 60 G’s baby!”

After winning his debut, he went on to receive victories against his next four opponents: Max Holloway, Diego Brandao, Dustin Poirier, and Dennis Silver.

UFC Featherweight Championship

In 2015, the fight for the UFC Featherweight Championship belt between Conor McGregor and Jose Aldo was announced.

The pair went on a 12-day world tour doing interviews leading up to the event, with the UFC stating that this was the most heavily promoted fight thus far in the organization’s 22-year history.

Aldo would end up pulling out of the fight due to a rib injury, which led to Conor McGregor fighting, and defeating, Chad Mendes for the UFC Interim Featherweight Champion belt.

On the 10th of August, 2015, the fight for the Featherweight Championship between Aldo and McGregor was announced once again.

In December 2015, McGregor would knock out Jose Aldo in just 13 seconds (the fastest-ever knockout for a title bout), earning himself the UFC Featherweight Championship belt.

The Notorious suffered his very first UFC loss in 2016 to Nate Diaz, in a fight that took place in the Welterweight division. After losing due to submission in the first fight, a rematch took place just 5 months later, where McGregor would avenge his loss via a majority decision.

UFC Lightweight Championship

In November 2016, McGregor beat Eddie Alvarez to win the UFC Lightweight Championship belt, marking the first time a fighter had simultaneously held belts in two divisions.

It was after this moment, that McGregor’s career would start to take a downturn.

Conor took time away from the sport for the birth of his first child, and he was stripped of his Featherweight Championship belt due to his inactivity within the division.

In 2018, McGregor would also be stripped of the Lightweight Championship belt, once again due to inactivity.

His career in the UFC has since been relatively sporadic, with losses to Khabib Nurmagomedov and Dustin Poirier, and a single win over the cowboy Donald Cerrone.

McGregor is currently anticipated to return to the UFC sometime in 2023 to face off against the veteran Michael Chandler.

Professional Boxing Debut

In 2017, McGregor announce his professional boxing debut against the undefeated, Floyd ‘Money’ Mayweather Jr.

The fight took place on the 26th of August, 2017 at the T-Mobile Arena in Paradise, Nevada.

It was stated that Conor would receive a guaranteed $30 million for the fight, Whilst Mayweather would receive $100 million.

McGregor lost by TKO in round 10, however, the event was such a success that McGregor ended up earning an estimated $130 million from the fight.

Proper No. Twelve

In September 2018, Conor McGregor launched his own whiskey brand, ‘Proper No. Twelve Irish Whiskey’, named after the childhood neighborhood he grew up in.

In 2021, a deal was struck for McGregor and his business partners to sell their 51% majority stake in the company to Proximo Spirits, who already owned the other 49% of the company.

The deal was estimated to be worth $600 million, making McGregor even richer overnight.

Finalization of the deal means that Conor McGregor no longer owns a stake in the Proper No. Twelve Irish Whiskey brand.
