Conor McGregor's Agent Audie Attar Breaks Down TENSE UFC Negotiations, Contract Status, Free Agency?

What was said

"Is it where I want him to go in terms of market value? No, but it's multiples over anybody, including Inzuffa Boxing, you know, multiples. And so, okay, it's a historical number."

Audie Attar disclosed that McGregor's new UFC deal represents a historic payday that is multiples higher than any other fighter, including those in Zuffa Boxing. While Attar states the number still doesn't reflect McGregor's full market value, he acknowledges the UFC moved significantly beyond their typical negotiating position. The deal includes unique provisions like a mandatory fight by April but allows for earlier dates if all parties agree.
