An OLBG study has found that UFC star Conor McGregor is set to become a billionaire this year

Despite dropping out of the top 10 richest athletes this year, McGregor is still worth a fortune.

An OLBG study found that the biggest pay-per-view draw in MMA history makes a whopping $8m for every minute he spends in the Octagon.

Which leads us viewers to question why would he stop so many fights in the first round?

Thanks to a Twitter thread from Andrew Petcash, we can now take a look into Notorious' financials, both from the Octagon and away from it.

‘The Money Fight’

Conor ‘Notorious’ McGregor’s fight with boxing star Floyd ‘Money’ Mayweather was the second most-watched fight of all time, after Mayweather vs Manny Pacquiao, and is projected to have earned the fighters a combined $400M.
