Traditional sports are dyingā¦ every kid wants to be the next McGregorā¦
This is reminiscent of Italia 90 and the eve of our first game v England.

Did he ever hurl ?
As a pro āsportsmanā will he not get a hape of it back?

Only if heās Irish resident? If heās non-resident (which I understand he is), I believe heās only taxed on income that arises in the state. Maybe some of the hordes of accountants here can clarify.
nobody cares mate
Heās probably still ordinarily resident so he will have to pay it. At the least heāll pay the domicile levy of 200k.

Soz Iām not a tax person but does the sports person relief not kick in for this clown?
Is sports relief not applied on retirement ?
Applied to 10 best years I thought. So if itās one of his best years heāll get most of it back?
Mmmmmma is not a sport though.
Heāll be using corporate entities
Although I suspect his take is greatly reduced by UFC share as they own him. Said he would quadruple his net worth. He was probably worth 5m max. May get 20m from this so fair fucks to him. Like all successful fighters it is hanging on to the dough where they usually fail.
Itās only Irish sourced income I think. Iām sure heāll have all sorts of ways to shelter a lot of it over in the US.
$34 M
UFC star McGregor fought twice over the past 12 months, including headlining two of the three best-selling UFC fights ever on pay-per-view. UFC 202 where McGregor defeated Nate Diaz had a record 1.6 million buys. Three months later McGregor beat Eddie Alvarez at UFC 205 in a card with 1.3 million buys (McGregor also starred in the second and fifth best-selling fights of all-time). The two bouts in the second half of 2016 earned McGregor $27 million, including his cut of PPV receipts by Forbesā count. McGregorās biggest payday awaits in a potential boxing match with Floyd Mayweather that could attract three million or more PPV buys. McGregor is set to earn $75 million if the bout comes to fruition. The Irishman has let many of his endorsement deals lapse as he gears up for the spotlight and potentially bigger deals that would come with a Mayweather fight. He did sign new marketing pacts with Anheuser-Busch and Beats by Dre in the spring of 2017.

I thought the opened it to international income a few years ago and this upset the egg chasers as it made it less attractive for the likes of Sexton to stay at home.
Hard to know really. He is contracted to UFC like the Hollywood actors of the 30s and 40s so they must be taking a large cut. He also has to pay tax and pay for training camps, promotion, agents fees out of those gross earnings.
He will be a wealthy man after this but lots of fighters are wealthy for a short period.
Mayweather winning easily and then a UFC rematch is a possibility. That would be an even bigger pay day
Iāll pm you a LOE and if agreeable draft you up an opinion on it.
