If the UFC is sold, the Notorious could be seeking a share of the pie.
John Kavanagh, the coach of UFC featherweight champion Conor McGregor, has said that the Dubliner could seek a share of the UFC’s equity, should a sale happen.
Rumours have been rife in recent weeks that the Fertitta brothers will sell the UFC for a fee of $4.2bn with a sale to be announced around UFC 200.
If that expected sale goes through, John Kavanagh told Tom Lyons of The Sunday Business Post that McGregor could make his move.
“With rumours circulating of a $4.2 billion UFC sale, Kavanagh raised the prospect of McGregor seeking equity from any new owner.
“Conor will have thought of this and I am sure, when he is sitting down with his new overlords, he will have that conversation,” Kavanagh said.”
There’s no doubt about it, McGregor is like no other fighter on the UFC roster and once again, he seems to be willing to demand exactly what he thinks he’s worth.
