McGregor doesn?t just expect to walk away with a victory at UFC 246, but is also expecting a big paycheck for competing on the card.
?I?m confident it?s gonna be a nice paycheck,? McGregor said on Ariel Helwani?s MMA Show (via Tristen Critchfield of Sherdog). ?Probably [the most] in my mixed martial arts career. I?m estimating a good $80 million.?
There is no word yet on what the fighters competing on the UFC 246 card will make, as that information is generally released a short time after the event.
The UFC star is just 31 years old, but predicts that he?ll be a billionaire at the age of 35 years old.
?I?ll be a billionaire by the time I?m 35,? he said. ?I?m still a good way away, but I?ll get there. I?ve got the methods and it?s something that excites me.?
UFC 246 takes place on Saturday, January 18 from the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada with Conor McGregor and Donald Cerrone headlining. Fightful is providing live coverage of the event, with a post-show podcast to follow.
