McGregor: I’ll make $40,000,000 this year, Alvarez is a bum

There is a scene in the film Glengarry Glen Ross when the Alec Baldwin character berates the company’s sales staff.

“I made $970,000 last year,” says Blake. “How much did you make? You see pal, that’s who I am, and you’re nothing. Nice guy? I don’t give a s***. Good father? F*** you! Go home and play with your kids. You wanna work here – close! You think this is abuse? You think this is abuse, you c*********? You can’t take this, how can you take the abuse you get on a sit?”

At the UFC 205 press conference, featherweight champion Conor McGregor borrowed a page from the dialogue and multiplied it by 40.

I feel by the time 2016 closes out, I’ll be closing in on $40 million, said McGregor, as transcribed by Mike Bohn and Ken Hathaway for MMAjunkie. This is a $40 million year for me. A damn good year.

[Eddie Alvarez] is very lucky to be in the position he’s in. He understands that. That’s why he took this fight on the money he was on the last fight. That says it all.

He’s just another broke bum trying to sell some s***. He’s broke and he’s desperate and he’s trying to make it, ‘McGregor’s this, McGregor’s that.’ We’ve heard it all before. He’s just another broke bum that can’t afford to pay his bills. That’s all it is.
