Conor McGregor: ‘Not Even Floyd Mayweather Had the Numbers I Have at 26′

Conor McGregor: ‘Not Even Floyd Mayweather Had the Numbers I Have at 26′

There’s no denying that UFC interim featherweight champion Conor McGregor is a big star. As UFC president Dana White says, McGregor moves the needle. According to the Irishman, he’s the big money fight in the Las Vegas-based fight promotion and produces better numbers than Floyd Mayweather did at his age.

“At 26 years of age, I hold every record in the game. There is nobody in the history of combat sports who have done what I’ve done in the time that I’ve done it. Not even Floyd (Mayweather) had the numbers I have at 26 years of age,” McGregor recently said while appearing on America’s Pregame.

“I’m the money fight in the male (expletive) in all the weight divisions,” McGregor said during the UFC’s “Go Big” press conference, while sitting on stage with nearly every champion in the organization.

On Dec. 12, McGregor is scheduled to face featherweight champion Jose Aldo in a unification title bout at UFC 194 in Las Vegas. Titles and belts aren’t McGregor’s main focus. They’re just icing on the cake. He’s in it for the money.

“The belts really mean jack (expletive). It’s the numbers that really mean business. That’s what I hold, every number in the damn game. As far as belts and stuff, I don’t really care about belts,” he said. “But December 12, I will unify the belt. I will move up to lightweight and take that belt as well.”
