Conor McGregor is looking forward to his next payday and the opportunity to usurp football legend Lionel Messi.
The UFC star posed in a PSG shirt after the French club recently signed the Barca great.
And while McGregor said he was wearing the shirt to support his friend and new PSG defender Sergio Ramos, the Dubliner couldn't resist bragging about his wealth.
Despite currently recovering from a broken leg, McGregor believes he can still catch Messi on Forbes’ list of highest-earning athletes for the year.
“At the Beverly Hills supporting my bro [Sergio Ramos] at [PSG],” McGregor posted.
“It’s crazy how this team has scooped all these incredible players up, and in such quick succession too.
“[Lionel] Messi is on 75mill U.S dollar a year, flat. Not including endorsement on top.
“He be hard to beat this year on the Forbes list without one more fight in the book. But that said don’t count me out.
“We are only 2 months into this new Forbes fiscal year and I already have his years wage boxed off hahahahahaha.”
McGregor, a football fan, supports Manchester United and was delighted at the shock news that Cristiano Ronaldo has returned to Old Trafford after a spell in Turin.
Former two-weight world champion McGregor has said of the Ronaldo: “Cristiano is a phenomenal athlete, person, and entrepreneur. His all-round discipline, perfectionist attitude, and dedication to his craft is inspiring and he has inspired so many young children to play football,” he told Manchester United’s club website.
“That is inspiring! We are both disciplined athletes at the top of our game.”
