Conor McGregor: What is the UFC star’s net worth after Floyd Mayweather loss?

The reigning UFC lightweight champion locked horns with the Olympic bronze medallist in a multi-million-pound showdown in August.

McGregor, 29, fought valiantly against the legendary boxer, comfortably taking the first four rounds.

However, fatigue soon reared its ugly head, paving the way for Mayweather to register a tenth round TKO victory, the fiftieth triumph of his professional career.

McGregor may not have come out of ‘The Money Fight’ victorious, but he can hold his head high knowing that he stood toe-to-toe with arguably the greatest boxer of all time.

The bitter taste of defeat will be softened by the staggering purse he received for his professional boxing debut.

For a mere 28 minutes work, McGregor pocketed a whopping £23m ($30m), a sum of money he couldn’t have fathomed making when he entered the UFC four years ago.

According to McGregor, his overall purse for the much-maligned fight with Mayweather saw him earn close to £76m ($100m).

So where does McGregor’s payday for fighting Mayweather stand in comparison to his other fight purses?

Below is a breakdown of all the purses McGregor has received since joining the UFC in April 2013, including his most recent and most famous one.
