Conor McGregor stresses importance of post-fight career plan: The fight game is cruel

Get in. Get rich. Get out.

Those were Conor McGregor’s infamous words prior to his featherweight scrap with Dustin Poirier back in 2014 and, although McGregor has made more than enough money to retire several times over, ‘The Notorious’ is adamant about generating a post-fight income stream once he hangs up the gloves for good.

McGregor launched his own Irish whisky, Proper No. Twelve in 2018 and the whisky featured as one of the main sponsors for Tyson Fury vs. Deontay Wilder II, which saw Fury TKO Wilder in Las Vegas this past Saturday to capture the WBC heavyweight title.
