Conor McGregor’s manager makes prediction after Lionel Messi’s MLS move

The Argentinian legend’s arrival in Florida has seen “Messi Mania” sweep the US, with personalities from throughout the world of sport giving their own verdicts on the transfer

The impending transfer of Lionel Messi to Inter Miami is capturing the imaginations of the American public, with MMA personalities even giving their verdict on the move.

With ‘Messi Mania’ currently sweeping the US as the Argentine icon gears up for his landmark presentation as an MLS player on June 16, the intrigue has now spread to other sports. The World Cup winner is widely considered to be the greatest player in the history of the sport and it would be fair to say that the significance of his arrival in America transcends football.

Now, even the manager of Irish superstar UFC fighter Conor McGregor has weighed in on the news that the 36-year-old will be joining the Herons following the conclusion of his contract with Paris Saint-Germain. The World Cup winner departs Europe having won a monumental 43 trophies and an unprecedented seven Ballon d’Ors and sports agent Audie Attar feels that the transfer is a seismic moment for soccer in the US.

Speaking to the Daily Mail at ESPY Awards, the entrepreneur acknowledged the significance of a player of the world-renowned forward’s star power deciding to commit his future to tickets for all away games versus Inter Miami selling out within hours of the announcement. The businessman asserted that he senses the transfer could prove to be an integral catalyst in potentially helping to catapult the popularity of the sport prior to the MLS.
