How Drake Helped Conor McGregor Land Endorsement Deal With Beats by Dre (Photos)

The notorious one is bringing in the cash, and his new deal is impressive because of who helped him land it. UFC and now boxing star Conor McGregor just landed an endorsement deal as a spokesman for Beats By Dre, and he thanked Drake helping make the dream a reality.

It's a beautiful day! I am now officially a @beatsbydre athlete! Shoutout to the great Jimmy Iovine, Bono @U2, and also my brother @Champagnepapi as we began working this deal at his show in L.A. It is an honour for me to join this prestigious team, alongside some of the worlds greatest athletes and musicians. Welcome to the Mac Life. #BEHEARD
