Conor McGregor Wants $100 Million For UFC White House Fight

ByMF Jones

Conor McGregor is asking for $100 million to fight on the UFC White House card in July 2026, and what’s more, he wants 100 golden visas granted to his friends and family, which is an even crazier request than the $100 million.

In fairness to McGregor he is by far and away the biggest star in MMA history, even if he hasn’t had a fight since 2001 (where he suffered a broken leg against Dustin Poirier). So if anyone can make such an outrageous demand and possibly even have it granted in order to headline the biggest MMA card of all time, it’s him:

I mean, why stop there? He may as well go full Dr. Evil and ask for one billion. After all, he claims to be negotiating with Donald Trump himself over an appearance on the card, rather than Dana White and the UFC, telling reporter Ayman Khan:

“I’m not negotiating with the UFC on behalf of myself for this fight like usual. I am negotiating with the United States of America on behalf of Ireland for this fight, so it is a peculiar one. But [President Donald] Trump, the administration have been fully supportive and backing and I cannot wait to put on a show.”

37-year-old McGregor wants an $100 million flat flee, with the rest of his purse to be made up of 100 ‘Golden Card’ visas, which have a market value of $1 million each and grant their owners permanent residency in the United States. Which means in effect, his total fee would be $200 million!

It would also mean 100 of Conor McGregor’s friends and family members i.e. 100 random people are going to get residency in the US just so that Conor McGregor agrees to fight at UFC White House.

Let’s be real though: it’s probably unlikely that McGregor gets the $100 million he’s asking for, let alone the 100 golden visas. McGregor took home around $30 million for his fight against Floyd Mayweather in 2017, just to give you an idea of how astronomical his new proposed fee is in comparison.

Still, if you don’t ask, you don’t get. He’ll probably be too coked up to pass the physical in any case, so could very well be doing all this for attention knowing full well he won’t be fit to fight in 2026, or ever again for that matter. Here’s hoping that’s not the case, though. Whatever you think of the guy, it would be awesome to see him back to doing what he does/did best.

After all, he’s finally realised that he’s never going to be the President of Ireland, so he’s got to keep busy somehow.
