Before he became the famous big-talking figure he is today, Conor McGregor was a plumber's apprentice in Dublin. He eventually made the choice to train full-time and fight on the European MMA circuit before turning to the UFC in 2012.
McGregor raked in $99 million over the past year, thanks mostly to his boxing match with Floyd Mayweather Jr.
Although he hasn’t stepped foot in the UFC Octagon professionally since November 2016, the $85 million he banked from the boxing match was his biggest paycheck in 2017 and more than five times his previous top paycheck.
That fight had 4.3 million pay-per-view buys and generated more than $550 million in revenue.
