He already done it with Cristiano and now goes for Messi, the millions McGregor could win thanks to Argentina

Football is more unpredictable than any other sport, but one thing many can be confident in is that Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo will become the star players of their team. The two football legends are the guarantee of the sport as they produce magical moments on the pitch. Conor McGregor is one of the most popular athletes in the world, and he also looks up to the two legends of football. He has made a big bet on Ronaldo for the EUROS this summer as he picked him to win the Golden Boot. He put $60,000 on that bet, which could've earned him $900,000, but it seems impossible now. Now, he makes a bet about the other great of football. He bet $365,000 that Messi's Argentina will win the Copa America this summer. If that comes true, Conor McGregor will earn $1,003,750. McGregor posted the bet on his X account and wrote, "The World Cup Champs Argentina aim to follow in The Mac’s footsteps by becoming The Champ Champs by lifting The Copa América trophy. The OG Champ Champ is behind you!"
