Conor McGregor is unlike any fighter to ever grace the UFC roster, and he realizes the value he brings to the promotion. That's why he's willing to demand to be paid exactly what he's worth.
That's the attitude that has made him the highest-paid fighter in the history of the UFC. And if his coach John Kavanagh is correct, it might just be the attitude that helps him cash in when the UFC is sold.
McGregor might want a piece of the UFC's equity.
With rumors circulating of a $4.2 billion UFC sale, Kavanagh raised the prospect of McGregor seeking equity from any new owner.
"Conor will have thought of this, and I am sure, when he is sitting down with his new overlords, he will have that conversation," Kavanagh said.
FloCombat issued two reports last week, with the first indicating a high bidder had been chosen and the second confirming with multiple sources that a deal was agreed upon. UFC officials have denied that a sale has taken place, but FloCombat sources continue to insist that an announcement will be made either during the UFC 200 fight week or shortly thereafter.
