Conor McGregor Sends 4-Word Message to ‘South Park’ Creators Trey Parker & Matt Stone After Becoming Billionaires

On July 2, ‘South Park’s parent company, Paramount, was in the middle of a combative negotiation for its streaming rights as David Ellison’s Skydance Media acquired Paramount. The show’s Season 27 premiere was delayed by Comedy Central, which left creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone fuming. “This merger is a sh-t show,” the duo wrote on X, “and it’s f–king up South Park.” But that issue didn’t go on for too long. They were resolved last week after the creators settled on a five-year, $1.5 billion streaming deal that will bring the show to Paramount+ globally.

With that, Parker, who is 55, and Stone, 54, have become billionaires. Their net worth is $1.2 million each, and that is something combat sports personality Conor McGregor admires. Is it surprising, though? After all, the fighter has been interested in reaching billionaire status someday. In fact, months ago, Dr Wilson, a professor of economics at Sheffield Business School, revealed that ‘The Notorious’ could become a billionaire with the right plan: Investing in the right projects and his acting career would be a big part of this.

But for now, he is simply happy reading Trey Parker and Matt Stone’s success story. Taking to his Instagram handle, the former dual-weight champion shared the news on his story with a caption that read, “@SouthPark, two mad bastards.” The multi-billion-dollar deal comes after much struggle from the behind-the-scenes drama.

The road is much longer for ‘Mystic Mac’. With a current net worth of $200 million, McGregor isn’t close to his goal but that did not stop from once claiming to be a billionaire. Let us go back to 2019. “I fought for billionaires and then became one myself,” the Irish fighter wrote in an Instagram post alongside a photo of him doing his billionaire strut in the middle of a UFC octagon. That image was from before his iconic fight against Khabib Nurmagomedov at UFC 229.

His fought for billionaires may have been a reference to former CEO Lorenzo Fertitta who was worth $1.8 billion in 2019.

Whilw McGregor still isn’t there just yet, he has launched multiple ventures that can help him get there. Think about Proper No. Twelve Irish Whiskey, Black Forge Inn, McGregor FAST, August McGregor (fashion brand) and so on. And perhaps his next move with Michael Chandler is a part of the plan!

Michael Chandler wants Conor McGregor on the White House card!

After Donald Trump and UFC CEO Dana White announced the UFC White House card, a buzz swept through the entire MMA community, with many high-profile fighters eager to compete on the historic card, one of them being Conor McGregor. The former dual-weight champion not only expressed his willingness to fight on the card but also shared an AI-generated image of himself and Michael Chandler at the White House on his timeline.

Well, Michael Chandler wants to fight Conor McGregor as well. “Everybody knows that’s the fight that I want. I have said publicly that’s the fight that I want, but I’m also the guy who’s not going to wait for that fight. As you can see by me fighting Charles and then Paddy- two fights in five months.

He further added, “Once [Conor] got injured, once he pulled out of the fight, we had to move on. I could have just sat on the sidelines, but I was ready to get back in there and prove to the fans who I am, how I operate, and I want to put on fun, exciting performances.” 

However, McGregor last fought in 2021 (Dustin Poirier) and hasn’t made a come back from his leg injury. So his return remain a mystery even with all the buzz he has been creating about getting back. Who do you think will be a suitable candidate for him? Let us know in the comments below.
