Conor McGregor earned $100 million from the Floyd Mayweather showdown in 2017
Back in 2017, Conor McGregor faced the undefeated king of boxing, Floyd Mayweather, in one of the most anticipated fights in sports history. McGregor, stepping into the squared circle for the first time as a professional boxer, managed to pull in an eye-watering $100 million from that spectacle (per Talk Sport).
The fight brought in an incredible $600 million in total revenue. Over 4.3 million pay-per-view buys rolled in, making it the second most-watched boxing match ever. Mayweather took home around $300 million, while McGregor pocketed a cool $100 million.
For McGregor, this fight wasn’t just about the cash—it was about making history. He stepped into the ring with one of the greatest boxers ever. Even though he lost, he walked away with a life-changing payday. But now, McGregor’s gearing up for an even bigger check, one that could make his past earnings look tiny.
Conor McGregor is set to earn $250 million from the Logan Paul bout
Conor McGregor vs. Logan Paul fight is set to make history in more ways than one. Rumor has it that McGregor will walk away with a mind-boggling $250 million for this one. This bout, which will take place in Mumbai’s 33,000-capacity Wankhede Stadium, is being promoted by the Indian Ambani family.
They’re aiming to put India on the map as a major player in the global combat sports scene, hoping to rival places like Las Vegas and Saudi Arabia. The Ambanis want to turn this event into a spectacle for the ages.
In fact, they’re positioning it as a way to bring the fight world to India, with their son Anant Ambani leading the charge. As for McGregor and Paul? Well, both are reportedly pocketing a massive $250 million each for the fight.
That’s right. The McGregor-Mayweather match will suddenly look like a bargain in comparison. When you think about it, $250 million for a single fight is absolutely insane, but that’s exactly what we’re looking at.
McGregor has always been a business genius, and this deal is just another example of him pushing the boundaries of what’s possible in sports. He’s constantly finding ways to turn a fight into a massive event, and this one is no different. Could this be the richest fight ever? The numbers sure suggest so.
Fans doubt Conor McGregor’s preparedness for the fight
While Conor McGregor’s bank account is about to see a serious bump, not everyone is convinced he’s ready for a comeback in the ring. The former UFC double champ hasn’t fought since his infamous leg injury in 2021 during his trilogy bout with Dustin Poirier.
Since then, fans have been waiting for McGregor’s return to the octagon, but many have doubts about his ability to reclaim his former glory. Even with his undeniable star power, McGregor’s recent training clips haven’t exactly boosted confidence.
The videos he posted to hype up his return have drawn criticism for showing a dip in speed and technique. Fans who remember the lightning-fast McGregor from his UFC prime are left asking—can he still compete at the top level? Recently, McGregor posted a video on Instagram of him punching a bag, but fans weren’t impressed.
One fan commented, “I’ve seen Tony Ferguson training footage looking better.”
Another added, “Training just to never come back.”
Add in McGregor’s recent legal issues and personal distractions, and the doubts just keep piling up. Fans are divided. On one hand, his legacy as one of the most dynamic fighters in MMA history is undeniable. On the other, his recent performances leave fans questioning his dedication to the sport.
Now, throw in Logan Paul, who’s been more active in the ring, and it gets even more interesting. Paul may not have McGregor’s experience in combat sports, but he’s been busy with everything from boxing to pro wrestling.
If McGregor isn’t fully prepared, Paul could throw off his plans. Only time will tell if the Irishman can reclaim his top spot or if this fight becomes another setback in his comeback.
