UFC legend Conor McGregor ‘in serious talks' to buy OnlyFans with £6BILLION adult website up for sale
CONOR MCGREGOR has sensationally claimed he's "in talks" to buy online content platform OnlyFans.
OnlyFans has taken the world by storm in the last five years, with everyone from musicians to your ordinary Joe using the platform to give their followers exclusive access to content and their daily lives.

The online subscription service, however, is now dominated by adult content creators, who account for a large portion of their revenue.
The platform's revenue jumped from £277million to a whopping £4.8BILLION in 2023 in large part due to the Covid-19 pandemic.
The company is now valued at just over SIX BILLION POUNDS and owner Leonid Radvinsky is keen to cash in.
And UFC icon McGregor has claimed he's one of the parties interested in acquiring the platform, which is expected to field multiple offers.
Resharing an Instagram post about the service being up for sale, McGregor wrote on his story: "I'm in serious talks to buy this."
The Irishman, 36, is said to have a net worth of £147m, meaning he'd have to have some serious additional financial backing to become the owner of OnlyFans.
McGregor hasn't set foot inside the octagon since breaking his left leg in his trilogy fight with Dustin Poirier nearly four years ago.
He's turned his attention to promoting during his hiatus, acquiring shares in Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship in April 2024.
McGregor jumped at the opportunity to become a major shareholder in the promotion, telling SunSport in an exclusive interview: "This is a major player in this industry.
Conor McGregor explains reason for major career changes amid UFC 'plateau' as MMA return remains a mystery
"Bareknuckle Fighting Championship is a major, major player in this industry. And it's growing fast.
"And it's got an unbelievable foundation, it's a rock-solid [foundation].
"With the stable of fighters and a stable team, the team around it that's grown it and built it, this is a serious player in the game."
McGregor was set to make his grand return to the cage last June in a long-overdue showdown with rival Ultimate Fighter season 31 coach Michael Chandler.
But he withdrew from their Sin City showdown with a broken left pinky toe.
The UFC's poster boy recently urged the promotion to put the wheels in motion for his return.
But Dana White has pumped the brakes on the prospect of the former two-weight champion returning to the cage anytime soon.
The UFC's President and CEO told Adam Glyn: "He's not fighting anytime soon. I haven't talked to him in a minute.
"But yeah, I don't know when [he'll fight again]."
If McGregor does ever fight again, his next outing will be his first since being found civilly liable for assaulting Nikita Hand at a Dublin Hotel in December 2018.
The former two-division champion appealed the verdict returned at Dublin's High Court last November.
He's hoping the introduction of new evidence will overturn the result of the civil trial.

Lauren James sparkles in cameo as Wiegman looks to answer questions over starting XI
You should never read too much into the final warm-up game before a major tournament, should you? Try telling that to any of the 25,088 fans at the King Power Stadium, as they were singing Sweet Caroline at full time, waving proudly their flags of St George and rejoicing in the seven goals that England had put past Jamaica. In such goalscoring form, glory will surely be England's again ... No, you should still never read too much into the final warm-up game. Just ask the England men's team of 2016 who, on the eve of the European Championship that year, managed a 1-0 victory against Portugal – one of those sides went on to win the tournament, while the other was knocked out by Iceland. The Lionesses have been good at tricking us all, too; in 2019 they endured a shock defeat against New Zealand in Brighton shortly before travelling to France for a Women's World Cup, where they defied that abject performance to go on a run to the semi‑finals. Similarly, they made us endure a goalless draw with Portugal at Stadium MK before they flew to Australia in 2023 but that did not stop the Lionesses progressing all the way to their first World Cup final. What this match certainly did offer, though, was a strong indication of Sarina Wiegman's preferred starting side, just six days before her team will meet France in their Group D opener in Zurich. Since England's squad announcement, eight of the starting personnel have felt relatively nailed on, if they could all stay fit, with three key question marks remaining. The first of those was around the No 10 position, with Ella Toone, Grace Clinton and Jess Park all bringing their own different qualities to the role. Sunday night proved to be Toone's chance and she took it in style, scoring twice inside the first half. She could have added a couple more, but her confidence-boosting double was timed perfectly and she will fly to Switzerland on Monday with an extra spring in her step. She is a player whom Wiegman has routinely trusted for the big occasions and those two words adequately describe the meeting with a hugely talented France side. The second question was: 'Who will start at left-back?', with Jess Carter and Niamh Charles both in contention. A significant clue was provided on Saturday when Carter was handed the pre‑match media responsibilities. The Gotham FC defender did indeed get the nod on a warm evening in the East Midlands, and she took her opportunity well. In the first half particularly, she combined nicely down the flank with Lauren Hemp, underlapping to good effect, as well as combining for one‑twos with Georgia Stanway and making strong bursts into the box to aid the attack. Carter's match fitness also looks strong, which is perhaps a byproduct of her being in the middle of her club season in the NWSL. The third question surrounded the right-sided forward role, a position where England are stacked with world-class options, with Beth Mead, Chloe Kelly and Lauren James all offering pedigree. James's return from a hamstring injury sustained in April meant she was only on the bench, with Wiegman saying on Saturday that she would manage James's minutes, but when the Chelsea forward was introduced in the second half her skill level immediately stood out. Jamaica defenders tried to stop her but there was little they could do as she toyed with her markers, skipped away from challenges and demonstrated her effortless ability to progress the ball up the pitch. Interestingly, though, she was doing so from a central, No 10 position after being brought on to replace Toone, while Mead played 90 minutes on the right and Kelly – who can also play anywhere across the forward line – was introduced on the left flank, when Hemp was given a rest. Sign up to Moving the Goalposts No topic is too small or too big for us to cover as we deliver a twice-weekly roundup of the wonderful world of women's football after newsletter promotion James flourished in the more central, free role, and dinked a perfect cross to the far post for Russo to score with 19 minutes remaining, in the middle of a Mexican wave that was circling around the stands. It was as if James had felt offended by the insinuation that this dynamic and free-flowing performance was not entertaining enough and so she served up something special. By the end of the game, as Mead tucked in the seventh, all of the players were oozing confidence, and perhaps the main takeaway there is that – whoever Wiegman picks – England's attacking options from the bench look dangerous enough to worry any of the 15 other defences that will be contesting this European Championship. Perhaps James's and Kelly's late cameos were enough to prove they should take on France from the start. Or perhaps not. You should never read too much into the final warm-up game.

Glastonbury fans brand Nile Rogers and Chic the 'best act they've seen in years' at Worthy Farm as he leads performers on final day of festival
Glastonbury fans branded Nile Rogers and Chic the 'best act they've seen in years' after his set on Sunday, as he led the performers rounding out the festival's final day. The 1970s icon, 72, known for hits such as Le Freak and Everybody Dance, took to the Pyramid Stage after Rod Stewart 's Legends slot. But fans were quick to praise Rogers' groove-filled performance, demanding that it should have been one of this year's headliners instead. Glastonbury returned to Worthy Farm, in Somerset, this year with The 1975, Neil Young and the Chrome Hearts and Olivia Rodrigo headlining. Taking to the stage on Sunday for the final day of the festival included the likes of Wolf Alice, Snow Patrol and Noah Kahan. And Fat Boy Slim, real name Norman Quentin Cook, took to Instagram to reveal that his set was his 100th time performing at Glastonbury. Fat Boy Slim wrote: 'My 100th set. Thanks for having me. Alan Carr tell us where we are…. GLASTONBURY ❤️.' Meanwhile St. Vincent, real name Annie Clark, brought her All Born Screaming tour to the Woodsies Stage. 'I would like to thank you for hanging in all the way to day four of this festival,' she said to the crowd. 'I'm not sure what kind of trip you're on but I want to be on it too, baby.' Over on The Other Stage, thousands of people hugged their best friends and chanted 'me and you' as Wolf Alice played friendship anthem Bros. Pete Doherty also returned to the festival as The Libertines took to the Pyramid Stage for the two o'clock slot, playing Up the Bracket, the title track from their 2002 debut album. Sir Rod was joined by a trio of veteran superstars during a rousing performance which saw him perform alongside his former Faces bandmate Ronnie Wood, Simply Red's Mick Hucknall and Scottish singer Lulu. He was also joined by the festival's founder, Sir Michael Eavis, who was wheeled on to the stage by his daughter, organiser Emily Eavis. Hucknall, 65, was welcomed on stage for a rendition of Simply Red hit If You Don't Know Me By Now. Rolling back the years, Sir Rod then performed the Faces' 1971 hit Stay With Me while Rolling Stones star Wood, 78, played guitar. Lulu then made her entrance, wearing an all-white ensemble, to sing Hot Legs alongside Sir Rod and Wood. After Rod's performance, Rogers took to the stage and Glastonbury viewers were blown away by his set. Taking to social media, they wrote: 'Nile Rogers at Glastonbury. Just wow, best I've seen this year by a country mile,'; 'Just caught up with the Nile Rogers and Chic set at Glastonbury. Best set of the whole weekend by the country mile. Banger after banger. Knew every song. Proper legend. And the band and backing singers were tight as f***. 10/10,'; 'Nile Rogers & Chic absolutely brilliant,'; 'Nile Rogers and Chic just nailed it. Epic,'; 'Nile Rogers and chic have just restored my faith in Glastonbury, I loved it when he said this is what Glastonbury is about peace love and good times and rightly bloody so!'; 'Nile rogers, true legend.. His music has made so many people happy over many years ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️,'; 'Wow Nile Rogers & Chic take a bow. What a Sunday set in the sunshine. Amazing!'; 'Omg Nile Rogers and Chic at Glastonbury. What. A. Band. Wow,'; 'Nile Rogers should been the headline act end of,'; 'Nile Rogers and Chic never disappoint, brilliant once again,'; 'Nile Rogers better than most (if not all!) at #Glastonbury2025,'; 'Wow Nile Rogers showing them how it's done - the best yet,'; 'Nile Rogers showing #Glastonbury2025 how it SHOULD be done,'; 'Best thing I've seen on Glastonbury in years. Nile Rogers is terrific on the guitar.' British soul singer Celeste opened the Pyramid Stage on Sunday before rock outfit The Libertines took to the stage. Other notable performances came from British funk group Cymande, US singer Shaboozey and Australian duo Royel Otis. Over at the Pilton Palais cinema, actress Jodie Comer answered questions about her career and said she felt 'really excited' to embark on a UK and Ireland tour of Prima Facie - the play that saw her win a best actress Olivier.
