The EXACT amount Conor McGregor made from just five fights revealed

The Dubliner’s earnings from his clashes with opponents including Chad Mendes, Jose Aldo, Nate Diaz, and Eddie Alvarez in 2015 and 2016 amount to a whopping $25 million, according to the figures.

The former UFC two-division champion made an average of approximately $5,153,168.20 per fight on his rise to the top.

McGregor's earnings came to light in newly released documents as part of the ongoing class action lawsuit against the UFC.

First filed by three former fighters in 2014, the lawsuit was granted class-action status by Federal Judge Richard F Boulware in August.

The court's decision paves the way for a trial scheduled for next year.

In the UFC's effort to defend their position, they have decided to disclose the fighters' earnings.

The Bloody Elbow news website which covers various martial arts, then engaged a business expert to dig through the newly unsealed documents in the lawsuit, which revealed the fight figures for various UFC stars.

According to information extracted from documents and released by Bloody Elbow, one of the most significant payouts detailed in the report is associated with Conor McGregor, who seemingly earned approximately $25 million.

For his UFC 189 fight against Chad Mendes, which he won with a second-round TKO win in the MGM Grand Arena in Las Vegas in July 2015 McGregor received a payout of $3,285,000.

He then faced Jose Aldo at UFC 194 in December of that year where he stunned the Brazilian in just 13 seconds to take the UFC featherweight title earning $4,476,662 or approximately $4,536,932 (exact figure not specified), while Aldo received $2,377,699.

As the UFC's 145-pound champion, 'The Notorious' then engaged in two highly successful bouts against Nathan Diaz in the welterweight division.

For the first fight, in March 2016, he received $5,576,315, and for the rematch in August, which was the most bought UFC pay-per-view of all time with a buy rate of $1.65 million, he earned $5,615,490.

The final disclosed payout was for the UFC 205 fight, where McGregor defeated Eddie Alvarez to become the first simultaneous two-division champion, receiving $6,812,374 along the way.

In total, the disclosed earnings from these five fights amount to $25,765,841, with an average of approximately $5,153,168.20 per fight.

Earlier this year it was revealed how McGregor was one of the few fighters, alongside Floyd Mayweather, Mike Tyson and Manny Pacquiao, to be ranked in the top 50 highest-paid athletes of all-time.

A study published by Sportico showed the former two-weight world champion sitting at number 33 in the sporting rich list after reportedly earning $530million during his career.

The Crumlin native was also the highest-paid athlete in the world in 2021's Forbes list, largely thanks to his earnings outside of the octagon.

After selling his majority stake in his Proper 12 whiskey brand to Proximo Spirits two years ago for a massive £120 million, also pocketing £20 million for his January 2021 fight against Dustin Poirier.

His 2017 fight in the boxing ring against Mayweather is still the highest payday of his career, reportedly taking home more than $100 million for the illustrious 'money fight'.

McGregor also signed sponsorship deals with companies such as Beats by Dre, Monster Energy, EA, Burger King and Reebok during his combat sports career. Having not fought in almost two years, McGregor dropped down to 35th last year's Forbes list due to his lack of inactivity in the cage.

He earned £26.5million for his trilogy fight against Poirier at UFC 264 and £8million through endorsements and investments in 2021. McGregor's huge net worth has also led to him showing interest in buying football clubs such as Chelsea and Liverpool.

McGregor has not fought since suffering a broken leg in a loss to Dustin Poirier in July 2021, but he returned to the United States Anti-Doping Agency’s (Usada) testing pool on October 8.

The end of that saga has also sparked the end of the UFC’s relationship with Usada, which said on 11 October that it would not renew its partnership with the UFC in January, claiming that the organisations’ relationship was made ‘untenable’ by McGregor’s situation.

It was announced in February that McGregor, 35, would fight Michael Chandler this year, but McGregor remained absent from the Usada pool for months; in order to compete in the UFC, athletes must have been in the pool for six months while returning zero positive test results and at least two negatives.

McGregor even told TNT Sports on October 28, while present at Tyson Fury’s boxing match with Francis Ngannou, that April was being discussed with the UFC.
