Conor McGregor may have lost his octagon battle, but he cashed in a ton of cash. Despite losing his fight against Nate Diaz on UFC 196, Conor McGregor was able to bring home $1 million just for showing up inside the octagon.
Conor McGregor is one of the biggest names in the UFC. He won numerous fights, and most of them by TKO. McGregor hasn't lost a fight since 2010 and is known as one of the highest paid fighters in the UFC industry. His fight is currently at 19-2-0. As of the moment, McGregor is currently worth $10 million as of the Dave Manuel website.
Conor McGregor has been keeping his eyes on the prize. The UFC fighter wanted to be the first UFC Fighter to hit a $100 million mark in terms of earning from his fights, according to Celebrity Net Worth. Conor McGregor is continually increasing his net worth despite losing against Nate Diaz.
"I'm waiting on my next multi, nine-figure contract, which is en route," McGregor told the reporters during a press conference. "I just let everyone up there know, I let the bosses know and everybody there know what I bring and my worth. I'm still here the highest-paid. Let's compare contracts. Because the contract that I'm talking now is nine figures, nine figures I'm talking. Nobody in the game has talked nine figures. That's $100 million plus. That's my contract, so, that's where I'm at and I've done it the way I've done it. Either learn from it or don't."
Though it was reported that Conor McGregor earned $1 million for showing up at the octagon, it was not his total earnings. MMA Mania reported that the $1 million he earned was just show money because it did not include his pay-per-view earnings.
