Conor McGregor #24 on Forbes highest paid athletes list - ConorCoin is needed :P

in #ufc8 years ago (edited)

Goodman Conor! Freestyling life is the best feeling. He did tell Ronaldo to watch out that he is coming for that #1 spot. Forbes released its 2017 list of the world's 100 highest paid athletes. Conor McGregor comes in at #24, earning $34 million, $27 million from his fights, 7 million from endorsements.

If the Mayweather fight happens he'll earn another $75 million.
The top 10 on the list include Ronaldo, Lebron, Messi, Federer, Durant, McIlroy, Luck, Curry, Harden, and Hamilton.

Will he fight Mayweather and win? With those sly bolo punches, there's a chance! 0_o

Did you know Mayweather made like $287 million in 2016. It is also interesting to see most of the money these athletes make is through endorsement deals.

I didnt know this but when Conor retires he will make PLANETS more than that esp as the ufc grows. Imagine what he will be doing when he retires if he can manage all the side stuff while still active?!

Agree, the guy is already a legend with an insane following all across the world. I just hope he keeps the momentum going. I want to see him fight again. Aldo vs. McGregor 2 would be sick but I don't know if Aldo will come up to 155 at least.
