At the UFC 257 press conference, Conor McGregor boldly claimed he was richer than Dana White. While it’s not clear if ‘The Notorious’ was going to be bad or whether it was a light-hearted comment, the UFC president is far richer than Conor McGregor.
As of 2021, Dana White’s net worth is reported to be $ 500 million, according to Weillay Gorilla. By comparison, Celebrity Net Worth claims Conor McGregor’s net worth is around $ 120 million.
At the press conference, when he answered a question about what motivates him to fight against such high-profile competitors, McGregor mentioned that he was richer than White.
“I feel like I’m just getting started, man. Everyone comes in and says, ‘Hey, Conor, you’re all done, you’re so rich You’re richer than Dana over here, ‘and they’re like,’ What are you doing here? ‘I’m like,’ Am I not allowed here? ‘ I want to be here, I want to perform for the fans, “McGregor said.
Dana White is no richer than Conor McGregor by surprise as he is president of the UFC, which is a multi-billion dollar company. The money he makes while inciting fights, as well as his support contracts make him richer than the old two-division champion.
UFC owners Lorenzo and Frank Fertitta recently sold the company for $ 4 billion to talent group company WME-IMG in 2016. According to ESPN, Dana White’s division in the UFC was under the new contract with WME -IMG as much as nine percent, which makes it worthy of nine percent of the company’s future profits out of pocket.
While Conor McGregor has several businesses, it’s no surprise that the Irishman is still dragging Dana White by the hundreds of millions of dollars.
Dana White and the UFC had an amazing 2020
Among the COVID-19 pandemic, the UFC was the first sports organization in the world to resume action. Five UFC events were canceled at the start of the pandemic and the company also lost gateway revenue for most of the year. The UFC was still able to host several fight nights and pay-per-view events in two different parts of the world without losing any of their supporters.
The UFC also reached an agreement with ABC network to broadcast the company’s first event of 2021.. Speaking to MMAWeekly.com, Dana White said 2020 could be the best year ever for the UFC.
