There are very few UFC stars who’ve ever been as popular as Conor McGregor. The UFC featherweight champion is constantly in the headlines. Perhaps only Ronda Rousey has ever come close to his level of fame.
Following a rough childhood in a poor area of Ireland, McGregor has become a true rags to riches tale. You don’t get as popular as ‘The Notorious’ without making a shed load of money on the way though.

Conor McGregor with his new Rolls Royce
McGregor is not only a UFC champion and a celebrity, but also a shrewd businessman. His contract is worth $10 million USD, the biggest in UFC history. He made a base rate of $3 million at UFC 202, again a record for the promotion.
Many disagree with the insane amounts of money McGregor makes. After seeing the amount of time an effort he puts in to promoting these events, you could say it is indeed hard earned cash.
How much does the UFC make?
That’s an interesting question. Included in McGregor’s contract are many clauses, one of which is a cut of the pay-per-view revenue. Therefore, the more PPV buys McGregor can generate, the more he’ll take after the fact.
Just how much have the four events headlined by Conor McGregor made?
