"I'm going into negotiations with the Ultimate Fighting Championship in February. I'm very interested to go. They've actually got a new deal with Paramount, it's worth $7.7 billion. So the company has [quadrupled] its profit, and my contract, essentially, is void right now because there's no more pay-per-view, whereas my contract was based on pay-per-view sales. I'm the highest-generating pay-per-view fighter of all time."

Conor McGregor plans to enter negotiations with the UFC in February due to a new broadcast deal with Paramount that removes pay-per-view revenue points. The Paramount agreement is reported as a $7.7 billion deal that shifts numbered UFC events into a streaming subscription model with no additional pay-per-view cost. McGregor's existing contract was tied to pay-per-view sales and is effectively void under the new model. McGregor remains the highest-generating pay-per-view fighter historically and is targeting a return on the proposed White House card after injuries sidelined him since July 2021.
