CONOR McGregor’s main Irish firm plunged into the red last year, it's been revealed.
New figures show that McGregor Sports and Entertainment Ltd had accumulated losses of £317,055 at the end of December last compared to accumulated profits of £103,878 12 months previous - a negative swing of £420,933 over 2017.
However, the accumulated losses are unlikely to trouble the Crumlin man as his reported net worth is around £76m.
Last summer, the 30-year old swapped the Octagon for the boxing ring for that generated £42.2m in ticket sales alone.
Around 5.5 million pay per view purchases were sold in the US and the UK for the fight.
Forbes estimate that McGregor has had earnings of £75.2m over the past year including £64.5m from the Mayweather fight.
