Coach: McGregor could ask for equity if UFC sold
John Kavanagh told Ireland’s Sunday Business Post that should it actually happen, he believes his athlete could ask for equity from the new owners.
Conor McGregor is the biggest star in the UFC right now and although reports of a potential sale are only rumors, his coach John Kavanagh told Ireland’s Sunday Business Post that should it actually happen, he believes his athlete could ask for equity from the new owners:
John Kavanagh, the coach of Irish mixed martial arts fighter Conor McGregor, has said he expects that the sport’s breakout athlete would ask for a stake in the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) if it was sold.
With rumours circulating of a $4.2 billion UFC sale, Kavanagh raised the prospect of McGregor seeking equity from any new owner.
Conor will have thought of this and I am sure, when he is sitting down with his new overlords, he will have that conversation, Kavanagh said. McGregor is among the most popular fighters with the mixed martial arts promotion company, with 3.7 million likes on Facebook and 1.8 million followers on Twitter.
