OnlyFans is a platform well-known for its niche content. In 2023, the site, which offers pornographic content in exchange for a subscription, generated $6.6 billion in profits. OnlyFans for sale could find its next buyer in an iconic MMA figure.
OnlyFans for sale for $8 billion
A few days ago, we learned via the British press agency Reuters, that the site, which is known for offering pornographic content OnlyFans, was up for sale for nearly $8 billion!
Founded in 2016, the platform gained popularity during the Covid-19 pandemic by offering adults the opportunity to sell their content (mainly porn) via a paid subscription. For its part, the site collects 20% of the transactions made by content creators. In 2023, this business model was more than productive, as the site generated more than $6 billion in profits, which represents $375 million more than three years earlier. A winning move for the current owner, Leonid Radvinsky, head of the Fenix International group, who has been able to recover a little less than $1.3 billion in dividends since 2020. But now, OnlyFans is up for sale and according to Reuters, negotiations are close to being concluded for the Forest Road Company, a Los Angeles investment firm.
An MMA star soon to head OnlyFans?
And that wouldn't be the only takeover avenue because Conor McGregor, aka The Notorious, Irish MMA star, reportedly announced on his Instagram account that he too is in serious negotiations to get his hands on OnlyFans.
With a fortune estimated at over $200 million, McGregor couldn't invest alone and would have to find partners to carry out this operation. Except that they aren't falling over themselves due to the content offered by the platform. So is this a PR stunt or a real project for the MMA star who hasn't fought since 2021? We remember that The Notorious hit the jackpot after selling his Proper Twelve whiskey brand for $600 million. He could repeat the operation this time with OnlyFans. To find out, we just have to wait and see if the fighter will go all the way.
