Conor McGregor probably amassed the most amount of wealth, being an MMA fighter. The Irishman has established himself as a global brand through his fights, on and off the Octagon. Anyone who’s familiar with McGregor knows that he earned many of his fans through his personality and confidence. However, the Dubliner took a break from the fighting sport. And focuses more on his popular brands, ‘August McGregor’ and ‘Proper No.12’. Because of this shift, fans think he’s lost that spark that made him one of the best contenders in the lightweight and featherweight divisions. But, in a recent tweet, The Dubliner tried to clarify that he’s not all about the money, reading a verse out of American rapper, Dr.Dre’s song.

But, the tweet just added some more fuel to the fire, which was definitely not his intention.
