Conor McGregor says Terence Crawford turned down massive $200 million fight offer against him

Conor McGregor appeared on 'The Ariel Helwani Show' on Tuesday, June 17, 2026, revealing that boxing star Terence Crawford turned down a $200 million offer for a potential two-fight deal approximately two years ago. The feud began after Crawford mocked Ilia Topuria on social media following Topuria's loss to Justin Gaethje at UFC Freedom 250, prompting McGregor to publicly defend Topuria and accuse Crawford of being afraid to compete in MMA. McGregor used the show appearance to explain his reaction and disclose details of the previously undisclosed fight negotiations.
