How Conor McGregor’s Net Worth Will Be Affected After $100M White House

After failing to return at UFC 303, a PPV built around his comeback, Conor McGregor is now looking for a 2026 return. The Irishman wants to fight at the White House when Dana White and Co. will host an event on July 4 for the America250 celebration. However, McGregor is not ready to return for a cheap payout, even though he earns more than any other fighter in UFC history.

The former double champion recently revealed his desired purse for the fight at the White House, which he claims will be against Michael Chandler. Conor McGregor is aiming for the biggest payout in MMA history, demanding $100 million from Dana White and Co. That’s a pretty big sum, and it is bound to change the financial status of McGregor, but how? Well, let’s find out.

Conor McGregor will witness an immediate boost to his net worth

Conor McGregor is already the richest fighter in MMA history. If he gets his wish for the $100 million purse, it will add to his existing $200 million net worth, according to certain reports. This means that McGregor will see a fifty percent bump in his net worth, taking him to $300 million. Hence, the fight at the White House could be a massive turning point for the Irishman.

Moreover, a $100 million payout will further cement Conor McGregor’s status as not just the highest-paid MMA fighter in the world but also reinforce his status as one of the highest-paid athletes in the entire world. He has already earned record paydays in the past, but the $100 million will see him break the records that he has set in the UFC.

The substantial jump in his net worth could also make Conor McGregor start a new business endeavor or make new investments to sustain the wealth he has for years to come. Now, let’s move over to see the other effect that a $100 million purse could have on McGregor’s life.

McGregor will have an enhanced brand value, as $100M could pave the way for future earnings

Conor McGregor is already one of the biggest combat sports stars of the 21st century. But that status takes a leap further if he makes it to the White House card. The high-profile nature of the venue, given that it is the US president’s residence, could significantly raise ‘The Notorious’s stock and amplify his global brand visibility. There will be massive media coverage since the US will be completing 250 years of its existence, which could help McGregor enhance his appeal to the sponsors.

Conor McGregor had to go through a lot of trouble after losing the civil lawsuit to Nikita Hand. Many brands canceled their deals with the former UFC double champion, including Proper No. 12 whiskey, which was the brainchild of McGregor. So, competing at the White House could not only help restore his image but also help him get back the money he lost due to legal expenses.

Competing at the White House can help Conor McGregor become a marquee name in the combat sports world once again. While Jon Jones has also expressed his desire to fight at that venue, Dana White has claimed that he relies more on McGregor than Jones to show up and put on a show on July 4 next year. What do you think? Will the former UFC champion get his wish? Let us know in the comments section down below.
