Not long ago, the former UFC Lightweight championship and defeat of Conor McGregor – Eddie Alvarez – made a comment on the driving force of the Irish boxer. According to American punching, Conor McGregor no longer tried the same because he was no longer “hungry”.
“When you have $ 150 million in the bank, your life is no longer struggling day by day to fight. The struggle is to face adversity every day, must be rejected by many people, to wake up early in the morning. Do things that you do not necessarily do and that requires discipline, making you more resilient. You become a good warrior of all your products.
“And having $ 100 million in the bank, in the status that everyone agrees with what you say, can make a schedule and wake up when you want, that is the opposite of the criteria of a boxer, it really weakens you.”
“I feel that in order for Conor to come back, he needs to train himself. To do that, he needs to dismiss everything like lavish assets, may be moving away from that world and become tough again over time.”
It seems that Conor McGregor also somewhat agrees with Alvarez's thesis. Conor said: “If you give 99% of boxers in UFC a week's salary with my net worth, you will never see them play again.”
Even so, the former Champion of 2 weights of UFC did not forget the old opponent. When listening to Eddie Alvarez saying he owned $ 150 million in his account, “The Notorious” responded that he owned the property far beyond the above figure: “Well, I remember the time when I earned $ 150 million first.”
