Dude sacrificed his prime years to make investments and focused on multiple businesses. He may have lost the touch in MMA but his kids and their kids are all set for life. That's success.

Gaining 350k in one year is not easy, you did a good job athletic interest 👍

No lie, Conor is the reason I started following MMA

McGregor's a marketing genius. He had no MBA even proper education but pure fooking talent. He put UFC in global map

Its high time that you are at 1 million sub. Keep going guys much love

You should also try explaining how promotion companies make money such as Showtime or HBO

Come on algorithm, make this big

This channel is still underrated. So much quality I can't believe it's free. You guys deserve a lot of subs.

Regardless of your personal opinion of McGregor no one can deny what this man has done for the sport and how magnetic his personality was.

Could you do a video on Leicesters scouting/ selling players. It’s incredible at how they are so much better than everyone else with these assets

Love the German accent ngl

Superb analysis! He actually didn't let go of the Featherweght title to challenge for the Lightweight, he was stripped of it 2 weeks after he won the Lightweight belt. That's why it was unprecedented, because he was holding BOTH titles at the same time, for the first time in history.

Tbh this is best sports business Chennal found ever the storyline,astathic editing,your voice waiting for your channel become bigger in the whole youtube scene

This week they love you other week they hate you but make sure you get paid both week 🔥👑

FINALLY A VIDEO ABOUT COMBAT SPORT, ANOTHER PLEASE

Great to see the channel venturing in sports outside of football. Excellent content.

The quality of the editing on this video is phenomenal, cheers guys.

Great & Deep Analysis. Keep up Athletic Interest!

As usual, a very high quality video! A few notes: Conor didn't relinquish his Featherweight title, he was stripped off it. And his company's revenue wasn't 1 Billion but instead the sales of Irish whiskey in the US reached 1 Billion because of his company. Love your content!

Btw your animations and graphic and editing are proper Proper youtube video Subscribed

“He did most of his earnings outside the ring” Just like most of his fighting

geez didn't even need the notification. these videos are always superb

"McGregor almost became bigger than the sport itself" 💯🙏 Love him or hate him, this guy is an inspiration ❤️

9:01 I wouldn’t say Jon Jones is easier to manage than mcgregor

You guys deserves millions of subscribers. Your videos are far better than some of the so called documentaries on international channels.

The BEST channel related to SPORTS.

So much quality deserves more subscribers

Shame he lost his prime passion for MMA, his old press conferences with Aldo and such were really entertaining. After Khabib it seemed to get personal and many think hes just a money hungry douchebag now. Lot of talent wasted and reputation ruined for financial success.

Insightful channel guys.. Keep up the good work all the best 👍

Good video, one point of contention though His second fight wasn’t on the main event of Fight Pass against Diego Brandao but was on the Fox Sports 1 Prelims against future Featherweight Champion Max Holloway He fought Diego in his 3rd fight for the company

This channel is something special it's just different 🔥🔥

Quality video as always 🔥

Jungs ihr macht einen fantastischen Job. Freue mich jedes mal aufs neue über ein Video. Danke für die Mühe.

i always recommend this channel to my friends and family cause the content is too good for youtube 😅 (here from under 100k subs)

It's always a great pleasure to watch your videos! Always very well done!

Your edition is so clean and good to watch!

Man u deserve at least 5 or 10 million subscribers this content is 🔥🔥🔥

we've all known that this channel will hit 1 million since the first time we starting watching it. quality and content are unmatched.

Quality content always.. keep up the good work man .. Big respect 🔥💗

The content of this channel is premium. It deserves multi-million subscribers!

Mcgregor is a genius. He was down with a broken leg and still had the presence of mind to set up the next fight. That's not something you learn. It has to be born with. For him, to win the fight is not the goal but a means to an end. His goal is to get rich. And he achieved it magnificently.

Fantastic channel man loving your work

Your production quality is better than some of those high budget WB movies

Quality informative content

Would love to see a video on UFC VS ONE CHAMPIONSHIP 🙏🏻

Conor McGregor is the UFC version of Zalatan Ibrahimovic

Rooting for Conor those first few years was surreal and the narrative was straightforward and simply amazing.

I'm really digging the video. Love the story telling

These videos really help better understand sports business. Vielen dank und toi toi toi 😄

He’d earn 5x more if his whiskey was actually decent

amazing video bro!

Athletic Interest back with the best quality video

Such a underrated channel

The narration is fabulous

Remember Cowboy called him out and a couple years later he knocked him out with his shoulder? McGregor is the perfect storm when it comes to promotion in any sport. Even when he was the champ champ he monetized stereotypes surrounding Irish people; "The Fighting Irish" immediately sets him up as a backwards, uneducated underdog despite the reality of his 1st world upbringing on the isle of Ireland and most importantly, his individual talent at his prime. Even leaning on the stereotype of Irish people being drunkards made him rich, selling Whiskey like an NBA player sells sneakers. Stereotypes go a long way in a world of lazy prejudice and nothing in our lifetime will change that. The Irish will always be associated with Alcoholism, Fighting and "working class heroes", or as the Yanks call it, White Trash. McGregor, as talented and shrewd as he clearly was will still seem paradoxically inferior and therein lays the charm of his on screen character. Instead of kowtowing to the pressure of what's expected of the Paddy Irishman, he rode that old slur, "T'is the luck of the Irish" and was almost clairvoyantly cunning by both playing up to that role and also warping it in the US. We won't see the likes of him again in the UFC. McGregor made his own luck

6:34 really beautifu graph which encapsulates the quality of this channel

*THIS Guy Deserve 100 Million Subscribers*

He had an awesome rise to the top! It was one of the most anticipated UFC rises to the top. All eyes were on him. Then he turned into a f/head.

Excellent video, and channel too!

Very eye opening an inspiring channel will definitely b keep up

Very informative.

Another brilliant video!

This channels deserves to be on netflix, and i can see it happening in the future. How many of you agree ?

Excellent Editing.

Would love to see more videos on the economics of combat sports and pay. Could even look into making a video about how UFC fighters are underpaid??

You make the documentaries feel like a movie !! How do you do it ?

Great video!

Lets go mma figthers💪♥️ thanks for the video

Bro that last line was epic 🔥

You compare the broadcast income of MMA to soccer in terms of going to athletes, but it’s worth pointing out that much much less of the broadcasting revenue is paid to athletes in the UFC compared to other sports.

Great video man

Now a video about Wrestling/ WWE or AEW from Athletic Interest... That'd be wildd....

You guys are unbelievably good!

This is quality content 🔥🔥🔥💎

Pls make a course on how you make your videos 🔥🙏🏻

Love this channel

One of the reasons your channel is still underrated is because you haven't cashed on the opportunity of having large base of Indian subcontinent on your channel. Your can bring them by just 2 videos related to cricket. i feel those 2 videos should be on Sachin tendulkar and MS Dhoni. Your virat kohli video got huge applause even though your channel was very small back then. hope you will like the concern for your growth from your fan from India. you are doing great job keep going

Loving channel this

no way I've just been watching McGregor videos lately then you upload this

People want to see other people put it all out there and take on bigger challenges, win or lose. Nobody cares about the Diaz bothers records or McGregor's record. He could have sat at feather weight but instead he's done it all. 3 weight classes and different sports.

Nice sponsor ad, really good!!

great vid thank u very much!

Your video is amazing

Money related videos always attract me!! Keep doing this shit

Please more videos about business of MMA

Can you do a vid about Energy drinks marketing like Monster, Rockstarr etc

You deserve million subscribers bro

I hope he has another 3-4 fight run in him, be a lot of fun to see

Awesome video!

This is very interesting but I have an issue with the term "highest paid". Since it's his own business, is he a high paid athlete or is he a successful businessman who happens to be an athlete as well? Like if Bill Gates or one of the uber rich suddenly play sport professionally will they be on top of the list?

Connor is even promoting Athletic Interest! Well done guys!

Good piece

Hey bro, i think you made a little mistake, yes the fight pass is like 7 bucks, and you can see almost all the fights with that pass, but the numbered events (just the main card) are like 60 to 80 bucks, those are the ppv from which McGregor and some other fighters get a percentage which variates depending on the fighter and the deal they made of course , and also, you pay those 80 bucks on top the 7 you pay monthly, nonetheless it was great video, keep it up :)

You never disappoint

You deserve atleast 10 million subs

He's a description of the video STONKS

He is a marketing genius, he knows what sells

Dude is like Colin McRae. He may not be on top every time but he's exciting to witness as a person. He keeps the energy at a level and there for sells better than anyone.

Your voice is so cool. 👍 u got my subscription
