RadioOnFire.com - Life is good for former MMA champion Conor McGregor. So good, in fact, that after making a cool $100 million from his Epic fight with undefeated boxing champion Floyd Mayweather, UFC CEO Dana White is unsure if McGregor will ever fight again. If you think about it, it makes sense. Conor McGregor is by far the highest paid MMA fighter to ever live and the biggest superstar the Sport has ever seen, so it would not make sense for him to fight in the UFC for a fifth of what he made in one night against Mayweather.
Even a matchup as Anticipated as McGregor versus UFC champion Nate Deas would only amount to pennies compared to his last crossover fight. The only fight that would make sense for McGregor fiscally would be a rematch against money Mayweather.
Dana White had this to say: Conor might not ever fight again.” Guy’s got a f***ing 100 million dollars! You know? I’ve got guys that made less than that, and were lawyers and went to school their whole life and quit working. Right? When you go to school your whole life to be a lawyer, and you’re a good lawyer, you make a few bucks, and you’re done. The guy is sitting at home every day watching cartoons or whatever he’s doing, I don’t know. Joe Silva doesn’t work anymore. These guys make money and that’s it.
