“I Didn’t Get the Credit”- Conor McGregor Worth Over $200 Million Believes He Should Get Credit for Uplifting Fighter Pay in the UFC

Conor McGregor is the definition of a superstar. ‘The Notorious’ is one of the main reasons that a lot of fans got into MMA. The Irishman is undoubtedly the most popular UFC star. His pay-per-view numbers are a testament to the same. 

Not only is Conor extremely entertaining outside the octagon, but he is also a delight to watch when he’s fighting. The fighter is a former double champion and had one of the best runs in the promotion. McGregor has given the UFC many iconic moments for their highlight reels. 

However, along with the fame, McGregor has also attracted a lot of hate towards himself. He reacted to this in a recent tweet he put out. 

A fan wrote: “The disrespect Conor gets from no-name fighters/fighters in other divisions is nuts… he literally brought the entire game up with him and he gets zero respect.” He said this in reference to fighter pay.

The millionaire fighter responded to the tweet and said,” I didn’t get the credit, I just got the cash. It’s all love.” McGregor didn’t seem too mad about the hate he receives.

McGregor has received a lot of criticism throughout his career but has always held his head high.
