Yesterday, Conor was "set for life". Today, Conor could be going broke

[Cooliox]

His fans kept talking about how he's set for life, bragged about his money on an on, used it to justify his bad behavior.

Some of us reminded these folks that Mike Tyson made $300 million in his career and still ended up bankrupt... and that Conor needs to stay humble and work.

Conor was worth a lot of money, and he had the ability to earn: The UFC would have ended up paying him something like 30million I believe. There was also the Mayweather-to-mma thing where if it had been Conor, it could have been another gigantic payday.

Now, instead, Conor is likely going to have his license suspended. He's going to face legal consequences... and he is going to get sued by many parties, and likely the UFC too.

All his leverage is gone. He is going to be losing a LOT of money in settlements and fines... and he probably won't be able to fight for a while. When he does return, the UFC won't even give him the same money they're giving him today: They can certainly sue him for how he affected their event and injured their fighters etc etc... probably get good money from him, or in the end settle out of court where Conor has to sign a new deal which will include less money in order for the UFC to not press charges.

This will hurt his brand, sponsorships, he has become a liability.

This, folks, is why you simply cannot take anything for granted.

Conor went from "King of the World", to handcuffs and a public disgrace... in 1 day

Stop speaking on another man's wallet when you don't know how he's invested his money.

 

[jojoRed]

Lol 50k bail, thats like 2 pennies to him.


He got off scott free, but youre his financial manager TS amirite.

 

[Chomsky Honk]

he’ll be fine

 

[BeeCee]

You wish buddy

 

[SeattleFightFan]

oh i think he's a far cry from Mike Tyson or Michael Vick in the riches to rags category.

this will cost him.

but he's still 1 fight away from making it all back.

EDIT: i just re-read and saw this:

Now, instead, Conor is likely going to have his license suspended.

do you really think so? why?

 

[IloveTHIS]

Jesus you people really overblown things SOOO BAD when it comes to this guy. I know the situation is fun and exciting but accept reality, he's not going to spend 1 day and prison and won't lose even 1 million of his fortune when it's all said and done.

Yeah that's his bail, you do realise he's gonna get sued and have lawsuits coming out of his ass don't you?

lol true

TS is obsessed, though.

This is not true.

He's not going to be able to fight for a while.

His brand has gone to shit. He has little negotiating power at this point.

I don't know why so many people are still in denial about all this. This is not the WWE. This situation does NOT favor McGregor, in ANY way.

You do realise that bail is just the start of the court proceedings right?

 

[haplo]

The guy was set for life before the Mayweather fight.

 

[jojoRed]

Yeah that's his bail, you do realise he's gonna get sued and have lawsuits coming out of his ass don't you?

Lol, if you think he's gonna get sued, and the .1% chance he does, WME would damn well strong arm all the fighters who even think of that.

 

[DocK]

It could potentially hurt his future earnings sure but they can't really touch what he has now.

 

[Rav7n]

no way he goes broke..
he might take a hit, but thats it..

this will blow over and he will make a fight with kebab and boys are getting paid..

 

[JDragon]

Yeah that's his bail, you do realise he's gonna get sued and have lawsuits coming out of his ass don't you?

That is, unless the UFC eventually pays the involved parties to make these lawsuits go away (e.g. in exchange for booking Khabib vs McGregor).

 

[VAfan]

you can't fix stupid, and it's pretty damn hard to fix ignorant.

there's no amount of money you can throw at a tyson or a mcgregor and declare it enough, they will figure out a way to fuck it up.

when all is said and done, conor is going to wind up selling his stuff, doing media appearances, giving speeches etc because he will go down the same way tyson did, millions of dollars in debt.

You know how it works? Im not from the US but i believe thats only so he can go back home, he isnt cleared of charges with those $50k, this thing will cost him millions, if he ever wants to fight again in the US.

 

[Gilday]

I don't think Chiesa and Borg give a fuck about that though, and yes, they do have grounds to sue

Regarding his license being suspended? He just caused havoc in New York. This shit would have gotten him fucked even in Nevada... NY is much more of a zero-tolerance kind of place. They literally suspended Yoel Romero for about 3 months for jumping off the cage in celebration.
