Conor McGregor<\/a> is without a doubt now the highest paid UFC fighter and with his demands of what he wants in his next fight<\/a>, that will only further be solidified.<\/p>\n

The former owner of the UFC, Lorenzo Fertitta stated back in 2015 that “The Notorious” would be the UFC’s first fighter to earn $100 million<\/a>. McGregor likely earned close to that amount<\/a> just with his last fight in the boxing ring against Floyd Mayweather and is looking to add a few more figures to his income as a career goal.<\/p>\n

\"UFC<\/a><\/p>\n

“You know, I just dream of hitting that ‘billy’ mark, if I’m being honest,” McGregor told BBC’s Boxing Club<\/a> (transcribed by mirror.co.uk<\/a>). “I’m cruising towards the billion-dollar mark, and that’s … right now, what’s next for me is in June to July of next year, will be the next Forbes 100 list, the highest-paid athlete’s list.<\/p>\n

“(Cristiano) Ronaldo was No.1 last year<\/a>, I was No.24 I believe, with $34m in revenue. Next year, if it stands as is, Floyd (Mayweather) will be No.1, I’ll be No.2 and Ronaldo will be No.3.<\/p>\n

“If I fight one or two more times I will overtake him, so that’s what I am looking to get, right, that’s what my goal is right now. Number one highest-paid athlete Forbes 2018 and then make my way towards the billion-dollar mark and then continue to go.”<\/p>\n

\"Conor<\/a><\/p>\n

McGregor was also asked about a future in politics and “The Notorious” superstar opened up on some interesting points, including the flow of cash he has pouring in with his endorsements and business endeavors<\/a>.<\/p>\n

“I look at politicians and they’re almost hated by everyone and I don’t want to be in that position.<\/p>\n

“I like to help people and do my thing from where I’m at. It’s already like I am a politician, whatever I say, whatever I do, it’s everywhere. If I do good, it blows up everywhere, if I do bad it blows up everywhere<\/a>.<\/p>\n

“I must use my power and my position to do good, I’m not going to seek a title, what would be the purpose of me going into politics, would it be revenue?<\/p>\n

“What does a politician earn; \u00a3100,000 a year? I’m talking half a million a month I’m on. I’m happy where I am, I am the president in my own way.”<\/p>\n
