Conor McGregor in Serious Talks to Buy OnlyFans for Billion-Dollar Deal

Conor McGregor, the former UFC champion turned entrepreneur, has announced he is in serious talks to acquire OnlyFans, a subscription-based content platform known largely for adult content. The platform is currently valued between $1.46 billion and $8 billion, with its owner Leonid Radvinsky reportedly negotiating a sale to the Forest Road Company, although it is unclear if McGregor is part of that investor group or pursuing a separate bid. McGregor’s interest comes amid rising regulatory challenges for OnlyFans, including new laws in Sweden that could criminalize users of custom-made content, putting pressure on the platform’s brand and future. Known for his diverse business ventures, including his whiskey brand Proper No. Twelve and other investments, McGregor’s potential purchase of OnlyFans would mark a significant expansion into the digital subscription economy. UFC president Dana White has dismissed rumors of McGregor’s return to fighting, suggesting his focus is firmly on business ventures. Whether McGregor’s bid will succeed or is a strategic move to generate buzz remains to be seen, but it underscores his ongoing efforts to reinvent himself beyond the sport.
