Conor McGregor's documentary, "Notorious" premiered today, and the UFC Lightweight Champion talked to reporters in Dublin after the film to address his status with the company. After coming off a huge payday from the Mayweather fight, McGregor states that his options are open in terms of returning to the octagon or boxing.
McGregor's future in the UFC seemed hopeful as he himself said that he believes that a title unification bout against Tony Ferguson will be next, but it seems like McGregor is aiming for more than just money; he's looking for partnership with UFC. He's made similar statements before, but now he definitley appears to want to puruse it more serioulsy. According to McGregor. he doesn't want to be another fighter on the roster.
“We’re in the contract negotiation stage", says McGregor. "It’s got to, they’ve got to entice me now because, I came from a billion-dollar fight. I want equity, I want pay-per-view. I want to be a true partner. You have to entice me now. I want to be a partner. I want to be a promoter and I want to be a fighter for me to continue.”
