Conor McGregor's promotion company, McGregor Sports and Entertainment Ltd., posted accumulated losses of €354,708 ($416,282) at the end of December 2017.
The business was incorporated in 2014 as a means of tapping into McGregor's earnings when he was a plumber. Three years later, the company's logo was placed front-and-center on the promotional boards for McGregor's sole boxing bout, a 10th-round loss to Floyd Mayweather last year.

McGregor Sports and Entertainment sells the MacTalk app on iTunes for $0.99 and runs the website themaclife.com, McGregor's dedicated media brand that focuses on news surrounding McGregor, mixed martial arts, and health and fitness. It generates money through advertisement and helps promote McGregor's fights and his products.
But McGregor's main business is fighting, and his most recent contest, a loss to Floyd Mayweather, made him an estimated $85 million fortune, according to Forbes, which claimed that figure was five times as large as his previous paycheck.
Despite the record payday for himself, his company, McGregor Sports and Entertainment, plunged into the red.
The figures are unlikely to faze McGregor, the main shareholder in the company.

McGregor will also compete in another big-money fight at UFC 229, when he challenges Russian rival Khabib Nurmagomedov for the UFC lightweight championship world title on October 6.
McGregor has other interests. He recently launched his own whiskey label, Proper Twelve, an Irish grain-and-single-malt blend that retails at $29.99 per bottle.
He announced in 2017 that he had plans to top Net-A-Porter. McGregor said he was working on a clothing line called "August McGregor" with renowned California-based tailor David Heil, the founder of David August.

He added: "They'll be in retail stores, and we'll build an online shopping site to rival Net-A-Porter, who makes $66 million profit a year. I love fashion and I get to design clothes. It's like fighting; it's all about the small details."
McGregor's current sponsorship partners include Burger King, Beats by Dre, and Monster Energy, among others.
He also has a residency deal with the Wynn Las Vegas for all his after-parties, according to Forbes.
