Conor McGregor has directed criticism at boxing star Canelo Álvarez while signaling ambitions to set new pay-per-view sales records for his anticipated UFC farewell fight. The Irish mixed martial artist's comments, reported by NY Fights, suggest he is leveraging a potential crossover rivalry to maximize commercial returns for his final octagon appearance.
McGregor, a former two-division UFC champion, has not competed since his 2021 leg injury against Dustin Poirier. His recent remarks indicate he remains focused on a high-profile exit that could surpass previous UFC revenue benchmarks. Álvarez, the undisputed super middleweight champion, has not publicly responded to McGregor's latest verbal jabs.
