Conor McGregor continues to be the highest paid UFC fighter in history despite losing two of his last three fights in the octagon.

‌

The Notorious, who Forbes listed as the highest paid athlete in the world this year, is estimated to be worth around €300million after he and his partners sold their €500million stake in his whiskey company earlier this year.

‌

McGregor is no longer the majority shareholder of Proper 12 Whiskey but shared the nine-figure sum with his agent Audie Attar and their partner Ken Austin.

‌

After the deal was done, McGregor said : "In just under three years, we went from a dream to the biggest Irish whiskey in the world!

"A HUGE step for Proper No. Twelve today as we now forge ahead to the next phase of our company's history!

"Thanks to my Irish Whiskey fans all across the globe! Proper Twelve is my baby for life, and I am just warming up the barrels here!

‌

"What I have in store for you all will not only take Proper Twelve to the absolute pinnacle of Irish whiskey but of all spirits! Next stop - Worldwide domination!!!

"I wake up each day with focus, drive, and a commitment to be the best in sport and in business - and the money follows. Never count me out!"

McGregor's official fight purse for his boxing crossover clash with Floyd Mayweather was €25M but it is believed he took home close to €70M on that occasion.

He was awarded a €2.5M purse for last January's win over Donald Cerrone but the former two-weight champion claimed he earned a total of €65M after bonuses, although that might have been exaggerated.

His official purse, before PPV bonuses, for the Poirier fight earlier this year was €4.1M.

It is believed that McGregor earned around €41M in total for his defeat to Khabib Nurmagomedov in 2018.

He is expected to make a similar amount from the UFC 264 bout that he made from the Cerrone fight last year.
